The Representatives
Shared context carriers. Not assistants. Not replacements.
What Representatives Do
Representatives are not AI assistants trying to be helpful. They are context transport mechanisms that answer questions based strictly on what humans have explicitly published.
When someone in New York asks "What's the status of the API migration?" at 9 AM, the Project Representative doesn't guess. It retrieves the exact answer from the Jira ticket or the wrap that London published at 5 PM.
No inference. No sentiment analysis. No reading between the lines.
Three Types of Representatives
Each representative has a specific scope and refuses to answer outside of it.
Project Rep
Answers questions about status, blockers, and timelines based on Jira tickets, Linear issues, and linked documentation.
Yes, by ticket #482.
Team Rep
Handles handoffs and routing. Knows who is online, who is off, and who owns what based on declared coverage.
Dave (SF) is on ops.
Personal Rep
Your contextual twin. Answers questions based on *your* published wraps while you sleep. Only knows what you explicitly share.
Yes, per her 5pm wrap.
How Representatives Refuse
They Say No Often
If a representative doesn't have explicit, source-backed information, it will not guess. This is by design.
Sarah hasn't published a wrap yet today.
No Private Access
Representatives never access DMs, private channels, or unpublished drafts. If it wasn't shared publicly, it doesn't exist.
I don't have access to private messages.
What Representatives Are NOT
Not Personal Assistants
They don't manage your calendar, set reminders, or perform tasks for you.
Not Decision Makers
They transport decisions, they don't make them. Humans decide, reps carry the message.
Not Summarizers
They cite sources directly. If you want a summary, you write it in your wrap.
Not Sentiment Analyzers
They don't detect "mood" or "tone". They repeat explicit statements only.
