| Tier | Used for | Speed |

Sub-Agent Activity
Section titled “Sub-Agent Activity”For complex tasks, the AI delegates work to specialized sub-agents.

You have full visibility into what’s happening — no black box.
Status Indicator
Section titled “Status Indicator”A live indicator in the chat input shows what the agent is doing in real-time — “preparing context”, “thinking”, and so on. The messages vary by agent personality.
Email Send Confirmation
Section titled “Email Send Confirmation”Before the agent sends any email, it shows you a formatted preview and asks you to confirm. Nothing goes out until you approve.
