3. On Home, finish the Get set up card: add a profile photo, make your name card and set a passcode.
4. Tap Hide on the card when you're done.

Your day at a glance

Home shows what matters today: team activities, your meetings, your tasks and unread mail.

• Brief me: Nook AI sums up your mail, meetings and tasks in a few lines.
• Shortcuts: New mail, New message and New task, right on Home.
• Tab bar: Home, Mail, Calendar, Chat, Tasks and More. Numbers show what's unread.

• Chats with people outside your company are marked, so you know when a message leaves the company.

Your assistant that asks first

Nook AI reads only what you allow, and it never sends or saves anything by itself.

1. Tap the sparkle button on any screen.
2. Pick a suggestion, or type a question, like "Brief me on today" or "Find a time for a team lunch".

Share your name card
