Notifications keep you in the loop on what the AI team is doing — without flooding your inbox. The defaults are conservative; everything can be tuned.

**What triggers a notification**

Task completed — when a dispatched task finishes, with a one-line result summary. Task needs your input — when the team is blocked waiting on a decision. Task failed — when something went wrong and you need to decide what to do next. Morning brief ready — once a day. Billing events — charges, low balance, plan changes. Security events — sign-ins from new devices, password changes.

**Where notifications show up**

In-app — the bell icon in the top right shows unread count and recent notifications. Email — sent to your account email with a link back to the relevant item.

**How to tune them**

Go to Settings > Notifications. You can control which event types send email versus only show in-app, and set quiet hours. You can turn off any individual category. A small set of critical alerts — failed payment, security events — send regardless of your preferences.

**Marketing emails**

Product announcements and tips are a separate category, controlled in Settings > Account > Email preferences. Unsubscribing from marketing does not affect account notifications.
