# Proactive Another Me

> Understand how Another Me decides when to message you, and how your replies change what it does next.

[Another Me](https://docs.heylinger.com/agents/another-me.md) decides on its own what deserves your attention, and it reaches out first. It reads its chat with you, the apps you connect, and your notes and meetings. For each matter, it decides to tell you now, follow up later, or stay silent.

Most notification systems follow rules you set in advance. Another Me learns from your replies instead. Each night, it reads how you reacted to its messages. A reply about how you want to be told becomes a clue, and clues of the same kind become a rule. Once you name the kind of thing, it handles that kind your way from then on.

Your rules stay on your machine, with the rest of your memory. This page explains what Another Me reads, how it decides, how it learns, and how you steer it.

![Another Me follows up on a client email, learns that client replies come right away, then applies that rule to the next reply.](https://mintcdn.com/lev9-doc/iWlaFXt9R5YUC2Ro/images/feature-proactive.gif?s=10fc8740aa03a14ca0ccbb4b2077e002)

Another Me reaches out, learns from your replies, and applies the rules it learned.

## What does Another Me read?

Another Me reads three kinds of input: its chat with you, your connected apps, and your notes and meetings.

* **The chat.** Another Me looks back over its recent messages with you.
* **Your apps.** Linger checks Gmail and Outlook inboxes, Google Calendar changes, and Slack mentions from time to time.
* **Your notes and meetings.** When you edit today's Pocket Note, or after a meeting you recorded, Linger picks out your to-dos and plans as follow-up items. Another Me then plans when to remind you about them.

Another Me reads an app only after you connect it. See [Connected apps](https://docs.heylinger.com/computer/connected-apps.md).

## How does Another Me decide?

![Your chat goes to Another Me once it is quiet; Gmail, Outlook, Google Calendar, and Slack events pass a gate for night hours and a daily limit that urgent events skip; your Pocket Note and meetings go to Memory, which finds to-dos and plans for Another Me to schedule reminders; Another Me reads the general rules, your rules, and open follow-ups, then tells you now, follows up later, or stays silent; each night your replies become clues and then rules that feed back into its judgment.](https://mintcdn.com/lev9-doc/iWlaFXt9R5YUC2Ro/images/feature-proactive-flow.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=iWlaFXt9R5YUC2Ro\&q=85\&s=99d6ac65463b604b5668f75f3478e11f)

What Another Me reads, how it decides, and how your replies become rules.

Another Me judges each chat window or app event in a run of its own. Before it judges, it reads the general rules, your learned rules, and the open follow-up items.

| Stage | Behavior |
| - | - |
| Input | Your recent chat with Another Me; Gmail, Outlook, Google Calendar, and Slack, checked from time to time; follow-up items from your Pocket Note and meetings. |
| Apps | At night, or once you have had several reminders that day, an app event is kept as a follow-up instead of a message. Urgent events, such as a cancellation, still reach you. One item in one state is judged once a day. |
| Delivery | Another Me waits until the chat goes quiet. |
| Tell now | Another Me checks the facts that may have changed, then sends one short message. |
| Follow up later | Another Me records a follow-up item and sets up routines that fit the matter, such as a reminder before a deadline or a check on a reply you are waiting for. When the matter changes, it moves or removes them. It sends no message now. |
| Stay silent | The run ends without a reply. |

A message from Another Me fits on a phone screen. The first line is the point. Then come the facts that matter, and last the one step you need to take. It sends no filler such as "nothing new".

Another Me tells you only about your own matters. Another person's private affairs, such as their health or family, are never passed on.

## How do your replies become rules?

Another Me learns only from how you answer the messages it sends on its own. Each night, it reviews those replies.

| Reply | Kept as |
| - | - |
| "Would have been good to hear this directly" | Clue: Tell now |
| "No need to push this" | Clue: Stay silent |
| "From now on, tell me this kind directly" | Rule: Tell now |
| "Don't remind me about this kind" | Rule: Stay silent |
| "Too late at night for this" | Follow up later at that hour |
| "Thanks", "done", or no reply | Nothing |

A clue alone changes nothing. A second clue of the same kind becomes a rule, and naming the kind makes one at once. Rules stay few and broad, and a newer reply that disagrees replaces the old one.

## How do you steer Another Me?

Reply in plain words, and name the kind of matter:

> From now on, tell me about vendor invoices directly.

* **Change your mind.** Reply the other way, and the old rule is replaced that night.
* **Manage follow-ups.** Ask Another Me what it is following up on, or tell it to drop one.
* **Turn off one account.** In **Apps**, open the app and turn off **Auto reminders**. The account stays connected.

There is no page that lists your rules yet, so replies are how you adjust them.
