# Workspace requests

> Ask Arro to find, read, and change your workflows, playbooks, task boards, and pages, starting from whatever you have open in Audimate.

Ask [Arro](/concepts/arro) to find something in your workspace, answer from it, or change it. Arro
answers from what it reads, and makes a change as a background task while you keep talking.

Audimate is coming soon. Access to the web workspace and desktop downloads is limited to approved testers.
Public signups and downloads are not open yet.

The desktop app is for Windows. macOS is coming soon; Mac-specific guidance describes the upcoming release.

Workspace requests work on every plan and draw on your
[monthly usage](/account/plan-limits#monthly-usage). You need edit access to anything you ask Arro
to change, the same as when you change it yourself.

## What you can ask for

| Ask for                                      | What Arro does                                              |
| -------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| "Find my invoice workflow"                   | Searches workflows, task boards, pages, and folders by name |
| "Open my leads task board"                   | Opens it in the Audimate window                             |
| "What does our refund policy page say?"      | Reads pages, playbooks, and recordings, then answers        |
| "Add these three contacts to my leads"       | Adds, updates, and deletes tasks                            |
| "Add a Priority field"                       | Adds, renames, and removes task board fields                |
| "Write a page about onboarding"              | Creates pages and edits their text                          |
| "Add a step about receipts to this playbook" | Creates playbooks, and adds to or rewrites them             |
| "Set up a workflow for expense reports"      | Creates workflows and task boards                           |
| "Retitle this workflow"                      | Changes a workflow's title and description                  |

Arro reads [recordings](/concepts/recordings) but does not change them. To edit a recording's
steps, or to rewrite a highlighted passage, use [Create and edit with AI](/concepts/workspace-agent).

Arro cannot delete a workflow, task board, folder, playbook, or page, and cannot move or share
anything.

A task on a task board is not the same as a [background task](/concepts/work#background-tasks) Arro runs
for you. When it is unclear which one you mean, Arro asks before it acts.

## What "this" means

Say "this" or "here" and Arro works out what you mean from where you are.

| Where you are when you ask    | What "this" means                |
| ----------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| The Audimate window, in front | What that window has open        |
| The dock's text box           | The same as before you opened it |
| Any other app                 | What is on your screen           |

From another app, Arro does not look at what the Audimate window has open behind it. Name what you
mean instead, such as "the leads task board". When several things share a name, Arro asks which one.

## How a change runs

Arro hands every change to a [background task](/concepts/work#background-tasks), which appears in
the [dynamic dock](/concepts/dynamic-dock) and works with the same abilities as
[Create and edit with AI](/concepts/workspace-agent). The task starts from what you meant when you
asked, including what the Audimate window had open. When it finishes, Arro tells you what changed.

While the task runs, a notification in the bottom right of the Audimate window shows what it is
doing. When it finishes, the notification says what changed and offers **Open** for what it made.
Nothing opens by itself, so you can keep working where you are. When you ask Arro to show you
something, the Audimate window comes to the front with it open.

## Before Arro deletes

<Warning>
  A deletion or a whole replace applies as soon as you say yes, and cannot be undone.
</Warning>

Arro says exactly what will be removed and waits for your yes before it starts a task that deletes
tasks, removes a field, or replaces a whole page or playbook. Removing a field clears its value on
every task. Adding tasks, adding to a page, and adding to a playbook go ahead without asking.

## Limits

To answer you, Arro reads the first 12,000 characters of a page or playbook. The task that makes a
change reads whole playbooks and up to 60,000 characters of a page. It does not replace a longer page
as a whole, because that would erase the part it never read, so it adds to the end instead.

## When it cannot finish

| What happened                    | What Arro tells you                      |
| -------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| You cannot edit it               | That you do not have access to change it |
| You stopped the task in the dock | That the change was stopped              |
| Nothing has that name            | That nothing matched                     |
| Part of a change was refused     | Which part applied and which did not     |
| Monthly usage ran out            | That your usage ran out                  |
