Knowledge base

How every part of Wavn works — what it is, how to use it, and where its edges are. Everything on this page describes the shipped product.

Your first order

Say what you need in plain words, the way you would to a colleague: "Build me a spreadsheet of…", "Draft a report on…", "Turn this into a deck."

A brief is an order. Wavn builds on sensible defaults rather than interviewing you first, and tells you what it assumed after the work is moving. Short answers get short questions; a described deliverable gets built.

Tip: you do not need to specify a format perfectly. "Something I can send the board" is a brief Wavn can work with.

Attaching material

Attach files to a message and Wavn can read them, answer questions about them, or build something new from them: clean up the numbers, turn the document into a deck, translate it, merge several files into one.

A short order with a file attached is still an order. "Fix the numbers" with a spreadsheet attached gets a rebuilt spreadsheet, not a conversation about what you meant.

Built files & cards

Built work lands in your chat as a card. Open it right inside Wavn to see the real thing — the sheet with its tabs, the deck with its slides — then keep it, download it, or throw it away and ask again.

A card tells the truth about its job. The build time is measured from the moment you sent the order, and a failed job arrives as a failure with its reason — never dressed as a success.

Changing what came back

Say what is wrong in the same chat: "make the summary one page," "use conservative assumptions," "the March number is wrong — here is the right one." Wavn rebuilds. There is no separate editing mode to learn; the conversation is the control surface.

Projects & your material

Work can live in a project. A project holds your chats, your pages, and the material you have given it to read.

Placement is consent. Wavn reads your material only inside the project you put it in. Moving a chat into a project is how you say yes; moving it out is how you take that back. There is no button and no setting — the move itself is the decision.

When an answer used your material, a line under it says how much was read and how long it took. Open the line to see the exact quoted passages and where in your documents they came from. If nothing in your material covered the question, the line says that instead of pretending.

Tabs, favorites & notes

Open chats sit in tabs, so a working session with three jobs going stays in one place. Mark chats as favorites, search across them, and watch the running-builds count while long jobs finish.

The corner notepad captures a thought without leaving the work. Each note is stamped with the page and time it was taken, and can be copied out as a document.

The schedule

Put something on your schedule from any chat: "remind me Thursday at 9 to chase the invoices." Change your mind in the same chat — move it, rename it, mark it done, cancel it. The Schedule tab does all of it by hand as well.

When Wavn had to guess an hour you did not say, it tells you it guessed. And when Wavn confirms a reminder was set, it was set — confirmations are written from what actually happened.

Your Wavn address

Claim an email address at Wavn, and mark which of your own mailboxes are really you. Mail from an address you have allowed turns into work:

  • a date in the message becomes a schedule item,
  • a request becomes a build, with the attachments as its files,
  • a question gets an answer,
  • and anything with no instruction in it is filed honestly rather than acted on.

Mail from an address you have not allowed is refused at the door. Wavn checks that a message really came from where it claims before it checks whether that sender is allowed — because anybody can type a From line.

Replying from inside Wavn is not built. Wavn says so, rather than implying a reply went out.

Speaking to Wavn

Talk instead of type. Speak in any language, switch languages mid-sentence — there is no language picker to set first.

Connections

Wavn can connect to calendars and other services you already use. Two rules govern every connection, and they are not negotiable:

  • Every connection is either yours alone or your team's. A connection marked as yours is your own diary — nobody else on the account can read it, including whoever set the account up. A team connection is shared on purpose.
  • Wavn never touches anything it did not create. It can add its own items and manage those; it cannot edit or delete an event you or anyone else made.

For a private calendar, Wavn asks only for your availability, not for what is in it — your event titles are never received, so there is nothing to leak. Turning busy-sharing off does not hide you: it makes you look free, and someone books over you. Wavn tells you this before you turn it off.

Some connections are listed before they are built. A door that does not open yet has no button on it, and Wavn will not call it coming soon or give you a date.

The promise Wavn keeps

Wavn never says it did something it did not do. This is the single most important rule in the product, above being helpful and above sounding confident.

The part of Wavn you chat with can talk, read and think — it cannot act, and it tells you so. The schedule and the builder genuinely act, and their confirmations mean what they say. An unknown is drawn as unknown, never as empty. If something looks wrong, say so in the chat: Wavn would rather admit it does not know than hand you a confident answer you would act on.

The line under every chat box is not decoration: "Even the best are not perfect, and neither is AI. Wavn can make mistakes, always double check the responses. We challenge ourselves every day to make fewer of them."
