Where things happen
The lookup table for “which screen was that on?”, an honest account of what the agent does, and what is not built yet.
The most common confusion is looking for something in the wrong place.
| Task | Where | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Create a job | Desk | The app can only do it for someone with no job at all |
| Rename a job, change address | Desk | The ··· button on a portfolio row |
| Take photos | App | The whole point of the app |
| Ask for a full analysis | Both | Safety / Code / Quality chips under any photo |
| Clock in and out | App | — |
| Fix a past day’s hours | Desk | The app is read-only for history |
| Snap a receipt | App | — |
| Approve an expense | Desk | — |
| Set the week, assign people | Desk | Crew see the result on Schedule |
| Mark a task done | Both | — |
| Budget, subs, materials | Desk | Keyboard work |
| Mark a phase complete | Desk | The Build panel |
| Join a job with a code | App | — |
What @blt does
Worth being precise about, because the honest version is more useful than the demo version.
Today
It does: read every photo as it lands; answer questions about the job; run full safety, code and quality analyses when asked; draft a week when you press the button; and propose changes to budgets, plans and expenses as cards you approve.
It doesn’t: chase people on its own. Noticing nobody posted a photo today, nudging a sub who hasn’t confirmed, flagging an overrun before you look — that side is built but switched off by default, and stays off until a company turns it on deliberately. Nobody wants software texting their crew until it’s earned that.
Proposals, not silent edits
Ask @blt to change something and it won’t just do it. It draws the change on a card showing what it would do, what it’s based on, and a before-and-after — with the fields still editable. Nothing moves until you press Apply. If it ever claims to have changed something without showing you a card, that’s a bug.
Known limitations
Current as of this release. Listed so you don’t spend time hunting for something that isn’t there.
| What you’ll notice | Why |
|---|---|
| The weather column is blank | No forecast source is connected yet. The board shows a dash rather than guessing. |
| Email sign-in doesn’t work | Phone number is the only supported way in. The email door is a leftover. |
| No back button on the code screen | If you mistype your number, close the app and reopen it. |
| The app forgets which job you picked | It returns to your first job on a cold start. Check the job name at the top before posting. |
| Only the first photo of a post shows a read | All stills are analysed, but only the first one’s result is displayed and only it takes the analysis chips. Post shots separately if each matters. |
| Videos aren’t analysed | Stills only, for now. |
| Hours have no approval step | Punches post straight to the timesheet. Review means looking at the grid and correcting it. |
