Catch up with 'What was I doing?'

After an interruption, click What was I doing? in Plexii's header for a short summary of your last 30 minutes and where you left off.

All plansUpdated

You were in the middle of something, a call came in, and now you cannot remember where you were. What was I doing? reads back what you did in PlexiDesk over the last 30 minutes and writes it up as a short paragraph in the conversation, naming the desks, documents and pages involved and ending with where you left off.

Before you start

  • Every plan includes What was I doing?.
  • It uses your own Anthropic key, even when you are signed in and the rest of Plexii runs on your credits. Add the key in Settings > AI, under AI · API keys. See Add your own API keys.

Catch up

  1. Open Plexii with the Plexii button at the bottom right of the screen, or open the Plexii hub.
  2. In the header, click What was I doing? (the replay arrow). Its tooltip reads What was I doing? — replay the last 30 minutes as a narrative.
  3. While Plexii reads your recent activity, the button shows an hourglass and its tooltip reads Reading the trail….

If the panel was showing another tab, such as Calendar, it switches back to the conversation so you can see the summary.

What you will see

The summary arrives as a message from Plexii in the conversation you are in. It starts with a short note of how much it looked at, for example (from 24 events in the last 30 min), followed by a paragraph of three to five sentences. It leads with the most important thread and ends with where you left off.

If you are working on a desk, the summary covers that desk. Otherwise it covers your activity across the organisation you are working in.

What it looks at

Plexii builds the summary from the activity PlexiDesk records as you work, including:

  • switching between desks
  • adding widgets
  • editing notes
  • the web pages you visit in a Browser widget on a desk
  • messages you send to Plexii
  • focus sessions starting and ending

What you do inside a web page, such as clicks and typing, is not part of the record.

Tips

  • Use it straight after an interruption. It looks back 30 minutes, so it is most useful when you come back quickly.
  • Open the desk first. On a desk, the summary sticks to that desk's work rather than everything you touched.
  • Then ask a follow-up. The summary is part of the conversation, so you can ask Plexii what to do next.

Common questions

It asks for an Anthropic API key. What was I doing? always uses your own key. The message reads Open Settings → AI · API keys and paste your Anthropic API key to use "What was I doing?". See Add your own API keys.

It says there is no recorded activity. Nothing was recorded in the last 30 minutes for the place you are in. You may have just opened PlexiDesk, been away, or been working inside a web page.

It summarised the wrong desk. The summary covers the desk you are working on. Open the desk you want, then click What was I doing? again.

Where is the button on the hub? In the hub's header at the top, beside New chat. See Use the Plexii hub.
