Grist StrawberryThe Grist records nobody wants to work through
One sentence in, and a companion has been through the Grist records, put them where you can read them, and marked the ones it was not sure about.
Open the record. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Grist afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing landing on a record until you approve it.
What it can do is exactly what Grist exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 3 operations, 1 read and 2 writes. In practice that means it can add or update records and add records, and work across the records and update records.
The Grist API stops at Grist. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
What does it already know about your update records?
1 of the 3 operations is a read.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can find records, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from Grist's documentation.
The records are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the update records. A companion can hold all 3 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of Grist admin becomes a queue you review.
- Find Records
What happens before it can add or update records?
All 2 write operations wait for you.
A companion can add or update records and add records, and each one is staged on an approval card first: you see the record, the field and the new value before it lands in Grist.
Nothing in Grist is sent, changed or deleted on your behalf without that click, and a rejected card leaves the record exactly as it was. The gate is the same one on every surface, described at security.

Can it find records every morning by itself?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the Grist records pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The product and engineering playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the engineering admin, the Grist records sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
