How to Use Stream-of-Thought Voice Input and the Action Queue

Updated this week

Talk to the AI Assistant the way you naturally talk — you don't need to say everything in one perfect sentence. The assistant detects pauses in your speech and queues each instruction automatically.

How it works

  1. Open the AI Assistant and tap the microphone button, or tap Speak to Update on a record detail page.

  2. Start talking. When you pause, the assistant submits that instruction to the queue and starts processing it.

  3. Keep talking — each pause creates a new queued item.

  4. You can see the queue building in the assistant panel. Each item shows its status (processing, completed, or waiting).

Example

Say this naturally with pauses between each instruction:

  • "Add a do-not-exceed cost of 400." (pause)

  • "Change the priority to low." (pause)

  • "Schedule this work order for tomorrow at 4 o'clock." (pause)

  • "Update the description — I found a raccoon in the garbage behind the gym." (pause)

  • "Add a comment that I'll be there on Tuesday at 4 o'clock and everything should be fixed." (pause)

Each instruction is queued and processed in order.

The action queue also works with typed input

You can type multiple instructions in one session:

  • "Update 3544 — change priority to high"

  • "Update 2823 — assign to Maria"

  • "Export open work orders at Site A"

Each one queues up and processes sequentially.

Managing the queue

  • You can edit queued items before they execute.

  • You can remove queued items you no longer want.

  • In autonomous mode, items execute as soon as they reach the front of the queue.

  • In manual mode, the assistant waits for your confirmation before processing the next item.

Tips

  • You don't need to be perfectly articulate. Talk the way you normally would.

  • The microphone shuts off after about 5 seconds of inactivity, but you can tap it again to continue.

  • This is a major improvement over traditional AI assistants where you had to compose one complete, coherent thought before getting a response.
