Binee is now a simpler product built around four screens (Home, Inbox, All Work and Settings) and the Binee Assistant. If you used an earlier version, or read about a feature somewhere else, these are not offered right now. Each entry says what to use today.
Standing alerts: skills and findings
Binee does not currently watch your tools on a standing instruction, and it does not create findings from skills. There are no skills, no watcher or scheduled skills, no Skills page and no findings feed. What to use instead: the Inbox lists the work from your connected tools that needs your attention, with unread tracking, and it updates on its own as your tools change. For a check on demand, ask the Binee Assistant.
Example: an alert that warns you when a task delay breaks a date you promised a client by email is not available. Instead, ask the Assistant "which tasks are overdue for clients who have emailed me this week?" whenever you want to check, and keep an urgent view in All Work.
A repeating calendar event or a dated task is not a standing alert. If you ask Binee to set up "soccer every Tuesday until December" on a calendar (where creating calendar events is switched on for your account), or "renewals due on the first of each month" as dated tasks, it creates those in your tool after you confirm a card, and your tool keeps them repeating (see the Binee Assistant page, Setting up a calendar or a list). What Binee does not do is watch on its own and message or act when something happens.
Example: "every Sunday night, check my calendar and message me if two client calls overlap" is a standing alert, so it is not available. Instead, ask the Assistant "do any of my client calls overlap this week?" when you want the check, and ask the Assistant to add a Home card for upcoming meetings to keep the week in view (you confirm the card first).
Saved reports
There is no Reports page and no shared or scheduled reports. What to use instead: Home is your own board of cards over your work. Add list, number, bar and donut cards from the card library (see the Home page) or ask the Assistant to add one for you in plain words (you confirm the card first), configure their filters, and ask the Assistant for numbers you need once.
Company pages, folders and sharing
There are no company pages or folders, and Binee does not share items, cards or pages with other people. What to use instead: your Home, Inbox, All Work, memory and chats are your own, built from your own connections.
Shared team workspaces and workspace switching
There is no shared team workspace: no shared Home, Inbox or chats, no permission roles beyond the Owner and Member labels, and no switching between workspaces. Each person has one workspace of their own, and Binee does not move items between people. What to use instead: every person keeps their own workspace and connects their own accounts in Settings, then Connections.
What does exist for teams
Teams are billing only. A person who pays for a Team or Business seat package gets a People tab in Settings, invites people by email, manages the seats and sees each member's email, plan, status and when they last used Binee, never their work. A member accepts the invitation, and the seat pays for the member's own personal workspace, which shares nothing with the payer or anyone else. Example: a firm buys 3 seats, and each person still sees only their own tasks and emails. See the Credits and billing page (Team seats) and the Settings and account page.
Custom tools and apps
Binee does not build custom tools or apps for you, neither in chat nor as a service, and there is no tool builder or public API. What to use instead: ask the Binee Assistant to do the job from your connected tools (for example "draft a proposal for Acme from our last call"), add a Home card from the card library to keep something in view, and send an idea for Binee itself from Settings, then Help and support, Suggest an idea.
The full-page chat and the Chats page
There is no separate chat page. The Binee Assistant, opened from the header, is the only chat surface, and your recent chats are in its history menu (with See all chats). Home also has a Recent chats card.
Slack delivery of alerts
Binee does not post findings or reports to Slack, and there are no private Binee channels for alerts. The one thing it can send to you in Slack is the optional Inbox message described on the Slack page (Settings, then Notifications, Send my Inbox to Slack), which is off until you turn it on. You can still chat with Binee in Slack and ask it to post a message to a channel after you confirm. See the Slack page.
Sending email
Binee never sends an email on its own, and never without your confirmation. Every send, reply and forward waits for you on a card showing the account, every recipient, the subject and the full text, works once and expires after an hour. Sending is also rolling out in stages: Gmail needs a one-time extra permission (Settings, Connections, Reconnect) and is switched on after Google finishes its review of Binee. Until sending is on for your account, Binee writes the text or saves an unsent draft for you to send yourself. Binee never attaches files to email it composes, never deletes a received email for good, and never edits an email you already sent or received. Moving an email to Trash or Deleted Items (where it can be restored) always waits for your confirmation card, and deleting an unsent Gmail draft is permanent, so it always waits for one too. Where sending with Binee is switched off, those actions are not offered.
Creating calendars and events
Creating a calendar and its events with the Binee Assistant is rolling out in the same stages as sending email, because it needs one extra permission on your Google connection that Google reviews. Until it is switched on for your account, the Assistant describes the calendar and the events for you to add yourself, and points you to a Home card for upcoming meetings that you can add from the card library. Once it is on, an account connected earlier needs one Reconnect (Settings, then Connections), leaving the calendar boxes ticked on Google's sign-in screen. Only Google Calendar is supported for creating calendars and events today; Outlook calendars can still receive single events from the Assistant. A single new Google Calendar event can have guests, and Google Calendar then emails each one an invitation after you confirm the card; a calendar setup with many events never invites anyone. Binee never adds or removes guests on, moves or renames existing events there, and never deletes any. The one change it makes to an existing Google event is your own answer to an invitation you received (accept, decline or maybe), which needs the same permission and works on your own main calendar only.
A manual refresh for an item's Binee Insight
Item details and Binee Insights are prepared automatically in the background, and there is no Refresh item button. See the Work items and actions page.
If you need something that is not on this list, tell the team from Settings, then Help and support: the Suggest an idea and Request a tool buttons go straight to them.
