Memory

Notes you keep for your agents, in local and Cloud workspaces (Agent memory). A note saved after the agent read anything else in that turn waits for you to keep it, and is never recalled until you do.

Routines

Offered in every chat, accepted only in a bot routine's own run.

Tool	What it does
`appenda.save_progress`	Saves where the run is (a position and a short note), so the routine's next run starts there.

Bots

Offered in every chat on the desktop. The asked bot answers in its own chat, listed under that bot, with its own tools and memory. A bot that was asked cannot ask another bot, and a chat has one question out at a time.

Tool	What it does
`appenda.list_bots`	Lists the bots you can ask: id, name, mode and a one-line purpose.
`appenda.message_bot`	Asks one of your bots a question and returns its final answer (at most 32 KB). Send a `chat_id` from an earlier answer to continue that chat.

Questions

Offered in every chat and every mode on the desktop. The agent asks when it needs to clarify or recommend, and waits for your answer.

Tool	What it does
`appenda.ask_user`	Shows you one to four questions on one card. Each has two to four options with one marked Recommended, plus Other with a text field.
