The bot9 chat messages nobody wants to work through
Your bot9, worked while you do something else: 1 read to go through it, 1 write to change it, and a card in front of every one of those changes.
Open the chat message. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the bot9 afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing landing on a chat message until you approve it.
What it can do is exactly what bot9 exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 2 operations, 1 read and 1 write. In practice that means it can send a chat message, and work across the chat messages and initiate chats.
The bot9 API stops at bot9. 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.
Can it initiate chat on its own?
1 of the 2 operations is a read.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can initiate chat, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from bot9's documentation.
The chat messages are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the initiate chats. A companion can hold all 2 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of bot9 admin becomes a queue you review.
- Initiate Chat
What happens before it can send chat message?
The one write operation there is waits for you.
A companion can send a chat message, and each one is staged on an approval card first: you see the chat message, the field and the new value before it lands in bot9.
Nothing in bot9 is sent, changed or deleted on your behalf without that click, and a rejected card leaves the chat message exactly as it was. The gate is the same one on every surface, described at security.
- Send Chat Message
Can it send chat message on a schedule?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the bot9 chat messages 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 operations playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the busywork, the bot9 chat messages sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
