It's the control center for how your delegate thinks, communicates, and takes action. ## Accessing the Brain Click the "Brain" tab in the right panel of your initiative to open the Delegate Brain. Here you'll find all the configuration options for your delegate. ## What's in the Brain The Delegate Brain has several sections: ### Identity Control how your delegate communicates: * Personality and tone * Communication style * Role and responsibilities ### Tasks What your delegate is working on: * Active tasks with goals * Success criteria * Progress tracking ### Memory What your delegate remembers: * Important context about you * Key information about projects * Learned preferences ### Skills Specialized procedures your delegate knows: * Step-by-step workflows * Best practices for specific tasks * Custom instructions for recurring work ### Schedules Automated check-ins and reminders: * Recurring schedules (daily, weekly, etc.) * Specific times and intervals * What to check on each run ### Permissions What your delegate can access: * Connected integrations * Read vs. write permissions * Specific resources (in advanced mode) ### Progress Log A running log of your delegate's actions: * What tasks have been completed * Updates and milestones * History of delegate activity ### Unfinished Business What your delegate still needs to do: * Pending items from previous conversations * Tasks waiting on external input * Follow-ups to complete ### Initiative Context Shared context for the entire initiative: * Background information about the project * Key goals and objectives * Important context all team members should know ## Who Can Edit the Brain Only the **initiative owner** can edit the Delegate Brain. If you're a member (not the owner), you can view the brain configuration but not change it. This ensures one person has control over how the initiative's delegate behaves, preventing conflicting configurations. ## How the Brain Affects Behavior Everything in the Delegate Brain influences how your delegate acts: * **Identity** shapes communication style * **Tasks** guide what your delegate prioritizes * **Memory** provides context for decisions * **Skills** determine how specific tasks are handled * **Schedules** trigger automatic check-ins * **Permissions** control what actions are possible * **Progress Log** tracks what's been done * **Unfinished Business** ensures nothing falls through the cracks * **Initiative Context** provides shared background for all decisions When you chat with your delegate, it draws on all of this to provide relevant, personalized help. ## Learn More For detailed documentation on each brain section, see [Delegate Brain Overview](/delegate-brain/overview).
