Chatting with the CEO

The chatbox in the bottom-right corner is your direct, real-time line to the CEO - the global assistant that coordinates every project. Ask it what's blocked, have it spin up a project or a task, get a status read across the org, or just think out loud. It has long-term memory, so it remembers your preferences and past decisions across the conversation.

Sending while the CEO is still replying

You don't have to wait for a reply to finish before typing the next thing. While the CEO is working, the send button changes to Queue:

• Press Enter (or tap Queue) and your message is parked, not sent. It shows up at the bottom of the conversation as a dashed bubble, and the header shows how many are waiting.
• Changed your mind? Every queued message has a ✕ next to it. Removing one drops it completely - it never reaches the CEO. The ✕ disappears once the queue has been sent, because by then there is nothing to take back.
• When the reply finishes, everything you queued is sent together, and the CEO answers all of it in one go rather than replying to your first message before it has seen the rest.

Cutting in

Sometimes you want to stop the CEO mid-answer - you spotted a mistake, or you meant something else. That is deliberate, so it takes a deliberate action:

• Hold the send button. Hold it down and it fills up, then changes to Send now. Let go and the current reply stops where it is (it stays in the conversation, marked as interrupted) and your message starts a fresh answer. Let go early, or drag your finger or cursor off the button, and nothing is interrupted.
• Or press Cmd+Enter (Ctrl+Enter on Windows and Linux) for the same thing from the keyboard.

Anything already queued stays queued behind the message you cut in with. The queue lives in your browser, so it is per conversation thread and does not survive a page reload.

Conversation threads

The chatbox supports multiple parallel threads, so you can keep separate lines of conversation going without them bleeding into each other - one for a launch you're planning, another for an ad-hoc question, and so on.

• Switch threads with the dropdown at the top of the chatbox.
• New thread with the ＋ button.
• Close the active thread with the ✕ button (your main thread can't be closed).

Each thread keeps its own recent history and streams independently.

The chatbox remembers the thread you switched to, so closing and reopening it - or reloading the page - picks that conversation back up instead of dropping you on your main thread. The memory is per browser. If the thread you were on has been closed since (by you here, in another tab, or on its own chat app), the chatbox falls back to your main thread.

How threads work across chat apps

The CEO is also reachable from external chat apps - Telegram, Slack, and Discord. The model is simple:

• Every surface owns its own threads. A Telegram DM is one thread. A Slack DM is a different thread. A topic in your Telegram Topics group, a Slack channel, a Discord channel - each is its own thread. Conversations never fork across apps: nothing you start in one app ever shows up inside another app.
• The web chatbox is the hub. It lists all threads - the ones you started here plus every conversation from every connected app, each badged with where it lives. The web view is the one place you can see everything.
• Replies go where you asked. Message the bot from Telegram and the answer arrives in Telegram. Ask from the web chatbox and the answer streams here. Each reply is delivered to the surface the question came from - including when you open an app's thread in the web view and continue it there (the answer then appears in the web view, not in the app).
• Closing a thread ends it for good. Close an app's thread from the web view and the next message from that app starts a fresh thread. Your chats stay tidy without any cross-app bookkeeping.

Two modes: assistant and coworker

Each app connects in one or both of two modes:

• Assistant (DM) mode - you message the bot privately, and the conversation is a real-time CEO chat thread. It's your personal remote control for the CEO, so only identities you explicitly link under Settings → Chat channels → Allowed identities may chat; unknown senders get no reply. These threads are fully interactive from the web view too.
• Coworker (channel) mode - the CEO joins a group channel your team already uses. Invite the bot to a channel, and anyone there can @-mention it: it reads the recent channel conversation for context, does the work, and replies in the channel. Discuss something with a colleague, then @-mention the CEO and ask it to "make a plan from our chat" or "document what we agreed". Inviting the bot is the authorization - no identity linking needed. Channel threads appear in the web chatbox under Team channels, read-only: you can follow everything from the web, but the conversation belongs to the channel, so you continue it by mentioning the bot there.

What coworker mode deliberately keeps separate: the CEO's private long-term chat memory (your preferences, past decisions) is never fed into group channels, and group chatter is never folded into it. Your personal assistant and your team's coworker share the same brain for work, not for your private conversation history.

Per-app guides

Security. Bot tokens are stored encrypted in the global secrets vault and are never exposed to agents or agent runs - the trusted Hezo server talks to each platform directly. In assistant mode, only allowlisted identities can chat. In coworker mode, access is channel-scoped: the bot only sees channels it was explicitly invited to, and removing it removes its access.
