How to use Wake up and listen

Call up your coach from anywhere in the app: mid-screen, hands full, no hunting for buttons.

Step by step

1. Press anywhere, on any screen, and wiggle your thumb from side to side.
2. A portal opens under your thumb. The app is now listening.
3. Say what you want, such as “open my calendar”, “switch to dark mode”, “what's my plan tomorrow” or “never plan hills on Fridays”.
4. It does it. While it thinks, its reasoning scrolls up the screen, and it reads the answer out loud.
5. Use the chips on screen to mute the voice or change its speed.
6. In “just do it” mode, it works in the background and stops once to show you what it's about to do. Tap the tick to let it go.

Where it goes wrong

• Opening it by accident while scrolling. It needs a deliberate side-to-side wiggle. If it still annoys you, turn it off, or change how it opens (ten styles, any colour), in Settings → Wake up and listen.
• It pressed the wrong thing. Slow it down. The same settings have an agent speed slider, from tortoise to hare. Tortoise gives you time to see every press and stop it.
• Expecting it on a locked phone. It works inside the app. It can't hear you from a locked phone in your pocket.
• Worrying about changes. Every change it makes has Undo. Coaching advice in the same settings decides whether it just does the job or also flags clashes with your plan.

Check it worked

• The thing you asked for happened.
• Any change shows where you expect, with Undo if needed.
