Surfaces

Where you decide — and where the machine works.

The Desk is your surface — the short list you open every morning and the few calls only you can make. The Switchboard is the machine's side: the live record of what the agents are handling, where a glance and a swipe can cancel or reprioritize their work. Below are two captures of the Desk from the running demo, then the machine's record behind it.

The Desk

primary

What you'd open every morning. A quick swipe loop for one-decision items, plus room for the longer things that need an actual sentence — a call to make, a signature that's ready. Not a status page.

The Switchboard

The machine's side — not a dashboard to check. Cancel work mid-flight, reprioritize the queue, steer the fleet directly. The board below is its live read-out.

The Desk, for real — two captures from the running demo, annotated

The Desk demo at rest — a taupe map-table laid out in labelled zones: an inbox of newly-arrived slips, a WORK pile of replies with one marked HOT, a GOALS corner of yellow sticky-note trackers, THE DECK of five quick calls waiting to be dealt, an EDGE TRAY holding a drafted reference letter for Priya and a dentist reschedule, a folded morning brief, and an OUTBOX drawer where finished work leaves the desk. replies land in the work pile the deck deals your quick calls the reference letter — drafted, waiting on you reschedule — held on your word goal stickies stay pinned drop on the drawer — done leaves the desk
At rest. The morning desk, pre-sorted into piles — quick calls in the deck, replies in the work pile, trackers as stickies, snoozed things dated in the edge tray. Every card is a real object you can drag; an empty inbox means already handled. This is the live demo, not a mockup.
The Desk demo mid-deal — one quick call flipped up from the deck asking 'Aisle or window for the Denver flight?', with a read-out of how sure it is and a decision row: snooze on the left, kill down, done on the right. The desk mat sits faded behind the card. one call at a time · 1 of 5 it tells you how sure it is — 55% → done · ← snooze · ↓ kill — the verbs live on the card, not the board the deck sits on the mat behind it
Dealing the deck. One quick call flips up at a time — aisle or window, confirm or switch. The decision verbs live here, on the card in your hand: swipe right to send it, left to snooze, down to kill. Clear the deck, or set it down with done for now.
