StandIn in practice
Three scenarios. Each one shows something different.
01
Amsterdam goes offline. San Francisco keeps moving.
Sarah finishes her day in Amsterdam and publishes her wrap before closing her laptop.

Once published, your team can ask about this. You won't be pinged.
Sarah's wrap became a record her team can ask about.
StandIn holds it until her window expires at 09:00 tomorrow.
No one needs to ping her overnight.
Alex in San Francisco asked about the API at 09:00 his time. He had his answer before Sarah was awake.
02
A scope decision made on Friday. Still there on Monday.
Elena (PM) approves cutting a feature from v1 scope and publishes it in her wrap.
Source: Elena's wrap · Friday 18:30 EST · Wrap #291
Elena was not pinged. Tom got his answer in 4 seconds.
A decision made Friday survived the weekend.
Tom didn't have to wait for Elena or dig through Slack history.
The wrap was the record.
Tom archived the dark mode designs and moved on. The decision wasn't re-litigated on Monday morning.
Seen enough? Your team could work this way in a week.

A question StandIn won't answer.
A manager asks something StandIn isn't designed to know.
I only answer from what was published in wraps and connected tools.
Refusal enforced at system level.
This query isn't in my data model.
Refusal enforced at system level.
These aren't policy decisions. The data doesn't exist in the system.
StandIn refused both questions completely.
Not with a polite redirect — with a hard stop.
The data it would need to answer doesn't exist anywhere in the product.
The refusal is the feature. If StandIn answered these questions, you couldn't trust any of its answers.
"The refusal scenario is what sold us. We tried two other AI tools and both hallucinated answers. StandIn said 'I don't know' — and that's when we trusted it."
These scenarios run on what your team writes.
There's no AI reading your messages, guessing your status, or watching your screen. StandIn answers from wraps your team publishes — and stays silent when the information isn't there.
