Surface — Chat
Delegate work in a browser. Real changes, held until you approve them.
A browser agent with your approved tools and a workspace. Actions that reach your systems collect for a decision, then run.

Definition
What it is
A browser agent with tool access, a workspace to build in, and a panel that collects the actions it wants to take.
- The actions accumulate rather than firing.
- It reaches C2 and C3 like every other surface — a ticket edit, an outbound message, a deploy — and each one waits in that panel for a named human.
- What you approve then executes against the real system.
Approval
How approval works
Related actions batch into a single decision.
- You execute when you are ready — all of them, or some of them — and what you approve takes effect in the system itself.
- Execution returns to the conversation as an event the agent sees, so it plans from what you actually authorized rather than from what it asked for.
Fit
When you reach for it
Exploratory and compositional work you want to steer while it happens, whether the output is a document, a dataset, or a change to a live system. It is the one surface that assumes no technical proficiency: it asks you to hold a conversation.
In practice
Three ways this gets used.
Engineering
Pull requirements from several sources and assemble a trade study comparing candidate approaches, steering which sources count.
Program management
Build a status deck from the tracker, the wiki, and last month's metrics, iterating on the framing live.
Software development
Interrogate an unfamiliar service — code, runbook, recent incidents — and produce an onboarding brief.
Everywhere else
The same boundary, three other ways in.

A briefing walks through how a handful of your real tools would register on this surface — the classes they reach, where the gates land, and what stays identical on the other three.
