# AI Personal Follow-Ups and Open Loops

_RSVPs due, thank-yous owed, callbacks waiting. Surfaced before they slip._

Alice is your AI Personal Assistant on [Sistava](/en).

Life is full of small open loops: an RSVP due Friday, a thank-you for the birthday gift, a callback to the contractor. Alice keeps the loops listed and surfaces them at the right moment so you close them on time.

Drafts are queued in your voice for one-tap send. The pattern of who you owe and when stops living in your head.

The mechanics are deliberately boring. A commitment goes on the task board rather than being acknowledged in chat and forgotten, the nudge is scheduled for the moment it matters rather than immediately, and she confirms in one line what she is holding and when it will come back. That last line is the point: it is what lets you stop carrying it.

She writes the follow-up in your voice, which is one of her standing duties rather than a setting. Anything that actually goes out to another person pauses for your approval first, as a sign-off card you answer rather than a message that has already left.

What you should still watch is tone on the ones that matter. A thank-you note or a chase to someone you have history with is exactly where a draft is a starting point, and editing two words before sending is faster than explaining the relationship in advance.

## What you get

- Birthday and anniversary wishes drafted and sent on time.
- RSVPs to events answered before the deadline.
- Thank-you notes drafted after gifts and visits.
- School forms completed and returned by the due date.

## How it works

1. **Tracks open loops:** RSVPs, thank-yous, callbacks, school responses logged with target person and due date.
2. **Queues the follow-up:** Drafts the message in your voice. Schedules the right send time.
3. **Drafts the message:** You approve, edit, or skip. Auto-send for low-stakes (thank-yous), manual for higher.
4. **Confirms what she is holding:** One line back: the thing, and when it will resurface. That confirmation is what makes it safe to forget about it.
5. **Closes the loop or brings it back once:** Answered means done and off the list. Unanswered gets one more push at a sensible interval, not a reminder every hour.

## FAQ

### Will she follow up on my behalf?

Yes, on the channel that fits — text, email, calendar invite, voice call to a service. With your approval per follow-up by default.

### How does she know who to follow up with?

From context: gift received → thank-you owed; event invite → RSVP needed; voicemail → callback queued.

### Can I add follow-ups manually?

Yes. Tell Alice in chat: "follow up with Sarah next Tuesday about the dinner." It's logged.

### How much do I have to specify?

Less than you think. "Remind me to send the form Friday" is complete and she just sets it. She asks only when there is genuinely no timing to infer, or when she cannot tell what finished looks like.

### Which channels can she actually reach people on today?

Email, including from her own address or from your connected Gmail or Outlook, plus Slack and Telegram if you use them, and calendar invites. WhatsApp, SMS, and phone calls are marked coming soon in our catalog, so a phone-only contact is one you still call yourself.

### Where does the list live?

On the task board, not in a chat thread. That means you can look at every open loop in one place, reassign or reschedule any of them, and see what she closed while you were not watching.
