How much comes back at once
On a big workspace, “show me every session this quarter” gets the first page rather than all of it. Two better habits:
Narrow the question. A team, a scenario, or a date range gets you a complete answer instead of the first hundred rows of an incomplete one.
Ask for the summary, not the rows.
What was the average score per rep this month? is both more useful and cheaper than asking for every session and adding them up yourself.
Transcripts and detailed feedback are large
A full transcript with per-criterion grades is a lot of text, and asking for several at once will get them trimmed. The pattern that works:1
Get the theme across many sessions

Then go deep on one
Charts need an assistant that can display them
Charts, dashboards, and interactive tables render as a panel inside the conversation, which requires an assistant that supports interactive panels. If yours does not, you get the same numbers as text and nothing fails. The first chart in a session is slow. It takes a few seconds to start up, and everything after that is quick. If you are about to demo this, ask for one throwaway chart first. Charting a very large amount of data is slower and less useful than charting a summary. Preferchart the average score per rep this month over charting every individual session.
Building a roleplay
Two things your assistant cannot pick up:
- A scenario you started building inside Exec. Conversations begun in Scenario Studio in the product cannot be continued through an assistant. It works the other way round though: a scenario your assistant starts can be opened and finished in Exec.
- Somebody else’s build. Only the person who started it can check on it.
Rate limits
The one per-minute throttle is on sign-in, where the same failed-login protection as the app applies, so a few wrong passwords in a row pause connecting for a short while. Ordinary requests, even a fast back-and-forth, run without a per-minute cap. The size caps above are what shape an answer.What is not available at all
- Billing and subscription data.
- Any other workspace. A connection is bound to the one you chose at sign-in.
- Deleting anything, editing a scenario’s content, removing people, or changing workspace settings. Assigning, enrolling, inviting, and group changes are available, each previewed before it runs. See Available tools.
