Walk the office and talk to an agent

You can walk the Office floor as a character of your own and stop at any agent's desk to ask about its work. The answers come from Jarvis, with that desk as the context of your question.

Where to find it

In the sidebar, click Office, then click Walk the office at the top left of the floor.

The office walk: your character on the floor, with the hint bar that lists the keys

Steps

  1. Click Walk the office. The camera drops behind your character. A bar at the bottom reads "Office walk · WASD / arrows to move · E to talk · Esc to leave".
  2. Move with the W, A, S and D keys or the arrow keys. The camera follows you.
  3. Walk up to an agent's desk. When you are close enough, a prompt appears over your head: "Talk to" and the agent's name, with the E key.
  4. Press E. A talk panel opens for that agent.
  5. Pick one of the quick questions, or type your own and press Enter.
  6. Read the reply in the panel. Ask a follow-up if you like. New starts the conversation over.
  7. Press Esc to close the panel, or simply walk away from the desk. Press Esc again to leave the walk.

The quick questions

  • What did you do last? The agent's most recent work.
  • What's waiting on me? The drafts from this agent that need your OK.
  • How's your budget? What the agent has spent. This one shows only to people allowed to see spend.
  • Anything blocking you? A failed run, a missing tool, or anything else in its way.

Voice

  • You can speak your question with the microphone button in the panel instead of typing.
  • The speaker button turns reading aloud on or off. A spoken question is answered aloud.

Good to know

  • While you walk, the room keys change: W, A, S and D move you, so Q, E and R no longer turn or reset the view.
  • Each walk keeps one conversation. It starts fresh when you open the panel at a different desk.
  • If a reply proposes an action, you approve or decline it right in the panel, as you would in the Inbox. Nothing is sent without that.
  • The walk needs the 3D office. On a phone, or where the browser cannot draw 3D, the Office comes as a list and has no walk.
  • Asking an agent uses Jarvis, so it counts towards your daily Jarvis limit.
