System Heartbeat
Every hour your agent scans your calendar, inbox, and the wider world — and stays silent unless something genuinely needs you right now. Over time it learns what 'urgent' actually means for you.
Your 14:30 demo with Globex just moved from Zoom to in-person at their office— 12 min via metro. You're at home. Leave by 14:18.

A sample of what your agent delivers — yours will reflect your work, not this demo.
How it works
Most assistants either nag you constantly or wait to be asked. Heartbeat does neither. Every hour it looks across your calendar, inbox, memory, and major outside events — then says nothing unless you need to act in the next hour or two. A meeting conflict about to bite. An urgent customer email that's gone unanswered. A breaking event you'd want to know about. Routine catch-up waits for your morning or afternoon brief. Things it already told you about get dropped automatically. The result: an always-on safety net you can almost forget is there — and an agent that gets sharper about your priorities the more it watches.
- 1Recalls last hour
Reads what it reported on the previous run and pulls active threads, commitments, and the next 48 hours from memory.
- 2Reasons across domains
What's approaching? What's overdue? What connects across calendar, inbox, and what you've been working on?
- 3Investigates only where needed
Delegates to @calendar-review and @email-triage when something might be brewing. Checks legible.news and Hacker News for major outside events.
- 4Drops anything you've already seen
Filters against the last run. Re-reports only on qualitative change — never just because a number ticked.
- 5Stays silent by default
Only breaks silence when you need to act right now. Otherwise the run completes quietly and waits for the next hour.
Make it yours
Workflows are recipes, not rigid scripts. Tell your agent what to change and it'll rewrite the steps.
- ›Tighten to every 30 minutes during work hours.
- ›Skip outside news — only personal and work signals.
- ›Add a custom check (e.g. poll a status page) at step 3.
- ›Route alerts to Telegram so you only see them if you choose to look.
More workflows
A two-minute scan of your day — revenue, inbox, calendar, weather, and the news you care about — written warmly enough to read with coffee.
Your inbox sorts itself. Twice a day, your agent reads everything that came in, drafts the obvious replies, archives the noise, and hands you a one-screen brief of what's left.
Stop being everyone.
Pick the one thing you keep meaning to hand off. Your agent takes it from there.
