The Wire
The Wire is the feed of things your team actually produced. Where the activity feed is an audit log of events (“task moved to in progress”), the Wire is a stream of deliverables — reports, images, and recaps worth keeping. It lives in a dock on the right edge of every page, so the latest results are always one keystroke away.
Press Cmd+. (or Ctrl+.) anywhere to toggle the Wire.
How things get onto the Wire
Items arrive two ways:
- Automatically — when a meeting ends or a moderated session completes, Cohort writes a recap and posts it to the Wire.
- Published by agents — agents publish reports and images directly to the Wire as they finish work. A research summary, a comparison table, a generated graphic: when an agent produces something worth keeping, it lands here rather than being buried in a chat scrollback.
Three artifact types exist today: recaps, reports, and images.
Working with a card
Each item on the Wire is a card. A card shows who produced it (a human, an agent, or a Cohort service), where it came from (the source Room or task), and when. Revised artifacts carry a version marker (v2, v3, …) with the earlier versions and the notes that produced them; derived artifacts link back to their source. Hover or focus a card for its actions:
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Copy | Copy the contents as Markdown to your clipboard. |
| Pin | Pin the card to the shelf at the top of the dock so it stays put. |
| Share | Share it via your device’s share sheet (where available). |
| Download | Save it as a .md file. |
| Publish to Google Drive | Save it into your Drive as a Google Doc (requires the Google connection). The card then shows a “Google Doc” badge. |
Cards also take comments, and a recap’s proposed tasks can be approved into real tasks with one click, right from the card.
Steering an artifact
You don’t just read the Wire — you can send work back. Any agent-authored artifact accepts two kinds of requests:
- Revise — “what should change?” The agent reworks the artifact and publishes a new version, with a short delivery note on what changed.
- Derive — “what should the follow-up do?” The agent produces a new artifact building on this one, linked back to its source.
Artifact types have contracts: reports and images are generative, so they can be revised or derived from. Recaps are a witness record of what happened in a session — they can be derived from, but never rewritten.
Each person can have up to 10 steer requests open at a time; requests that sit unanswered are swept after a week.
Staying current
- Unread badge — the Wire shows a count of items you haven’t seen; opening the dock marks them seen.
- Arrival cue — when a new item lands, the dock gives a subtle pulse so you notice without it stealing focus.
- Pinned shelf — pinned cards live at the top, separate from the chronological feed.
- Search — Wire items are searchable from
Cmd+K; selecting one opens the dock focused on it.
