How to use Emit and @emitii, the AI in Emitii

Emit is the AI inside each space: open the Emit tab, or mention @emitii in that space's Pulse or comments. It reads and changes the space's work, with your approval. For the product view, see the AI assistant feature page.

What Emit can do in a space

Emit knows only the space you are in. Within it, it can:

• Board: read the board, create, update, move, assign, complete and delete cards, manage columns and checklists.
• Tasks: create lists and to-dos, update, complete and delete them.
• Schedule: list, create, update and delete events.
• Posts: list, create, update, delete and pin posts.
• Docs & Files: list, read, create and update docs, manage folders, rename, move and delete.
• Comments: read, add, edit and delete comments.
• Pulse and Activity: read chat history, activity and members.
• Trash: list and restore deleted items.
• Timesheet: log, edit and delete time, submit a week, and for space admins, approve or reject a week.

Answers stay grounded in that space's own work, and Emit keeps your conversation history. Your chats with Emit are private to you, and past chats are listed under Past chats.

Approvals and plans

Emit never changes anything silently. Each change pauses for your decision:

• Allow once approves this one change.
• Allow for this chat approves edits of that kind for the rest of the conversation.
• No stops it.

Deletes always need their own approval, even if you allowed edits for the chat. When a request needs several steps, such as "set up a launch board with three columns and six cards", Emit shows the plan first; choose Build it or say what to change.

@emitii in Pulse and comments

Type @emitii followed by your request in a space's Pulse, or in a comment on a card, to-do, event, doc or post. Emit replies in the same place. A bare @emitii with nothing after it is ignored. @emitii answers in spaces only, not in direct or group messages.

In comment threads, small safe edits may be applied without a prompt (up to five), while anything that deletes is handed to the Emit tab for approval. See Messages & Pulse for the chat itself.

Files Emit creates

Ask for a document and Emit saves it into the space's Docs & Files, not into the chat. It can create PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), PowerPoint (.pptx), CSV, Markdown and plain text files. Very long answers are also saved in full as a Markdown file in Docs & Files.

Instructions for a space

Space admins can open "How Emit works here" and write "Instructions for Emit in this space". For example: "Always put new work in the Triage column" or "Always use British spelling." Instructions apply to new messages from everyone in the space. Only space admins can change them.

Where Emit works

Emit works inside the space it is asked in, using that space's board, tasks, schedule, posts and docs.

How admins turn AI on

AI is off by default and switched on in layers:

1. The Emitii team enables AI for your organisation.
2. An admin opens Admin Console > AI Access and turns Emitii on for each space. Space admins can request it, and the request appears under "Needs your review" for an admin to turn on or deny.
3. Admins can allow or block individual members.

Admin Console > AI Usage shows tokens, requests, cost, the monthly budget and what remains, broken down by surface, top users, top spaces and day. Customer data is not used to train models. More on access is in Admin & access.
