Pulse transforms your tasks and instructions into the most effective view for the job — whether that’s a simple board, a progress dashboard, or a more structured project view. Pulse content is generated by Manager based on the current state of your tasks, and its visual style is fully customizable through conversation.

What You’ll Learn

  • How to open and read the Pulse panel
  • How to customize Pulse styles through conversation
  • How to save and manage style templates
  • Common use cases for Pulse

Open Pulse

In the Manager’s top toolbar, click the Pulse icon (waveform icon) to open the Pulse panel.
  • When there are new Pulse updates you haven’t viewed yet, a small dot will appear on the icon.
  • The Pulse panel is located on the right side of the interface, sharing space with the project list and scheduled tasks — you can switch between them at any time.

What Pulse Shows

Pulse content is automatically generated by Manager based on the current state of your tasks, presented in a structured and visual format. Common elements include:
ElementDescription
Task OverviewExecution status of all current tasks at a glance
ProgressCompletion status across different stages
DependenciesRelationships and flow between task steps
DeliverablesSummaries or previews of final outputs
Pulse titles and content adapt dynamically to your project, so different tasks will produce different types of visualizations.

Customize Pulse Styles

The core strength of Pulse is full visual customization — done entirely through conversation. No parameters, no configs. Just describe what you want.

First-Time Customization

1

Open the Pulse Panel

Open Pulse and click Edit Pulse Style in the empty state.
2

Prompt Is Inserted

A style-editing prompt is automatically inserted into the chat.
3

Describe Your Style

Tell Manager what you want. For example:
“Create a dark-themed topology view showing task relationships with nodes and connections.”
4

Apply Instantly

Manager generates and applies the new Pulse style immediately.

Save Style Templates

Once you’re satisfied with a style, a New Style card will appear in the panel. You can:
  • Adjust — Continue refining the style through conversation.
  • Save Style — Store the current style as a named template.

Manage Saved Templates

From the style menu in the top-right corner of the panel, you can:
  • View all saved style templates
  • Switch between styles
  • Delete templates you no longer need

Use Cases

When multiple Workers are handling different modules, Pulse can consolidate their statuses into a single topology view — clearly showing what’s done, in progress, or blocked.

Notes

The Pulse panel may display custom background visuals defined by the selected style template. These are preserved when the template is saved.
Pulse content is generated in real time by AI — no manual refresh needed. The icon will notify you when updates are available.
If the Pulse panel is empty, the current Manager session doesn’t yet have enough task data. Once tasks are added, it will populate automatically.

FAQs
