Questions, answered
Understand what you can build on.
Can Ask AI check the content calendar?
Yes. With the Content module enabled, Ask AI can list the five most recently added calendar items by exact status or category and reports when more match. It can also prepare a grounded editorial brief from a title and optional keywords or category when an AI provider is configured. The brief is working copy; review it and add it to the calendar from Content.
Can I try Command Center before setting it up?
Yes. Choose one of six fictional businesses in the demo chooser. Each opens the real workspace with sample customers, conversations and tasks. No signup is required, and simulated changes stay in your browser session. The workflow recipes explain how to combine features and plugins in a connected workspace.
What should I connect first?
Explore a fictional business in the demo first. For your own installation, connect the database and owner account, then save a contact and a task and confirm they remain after a reload. Add Gmail, Calendar, AI or payments when a specific workflow needs them. Setup shows which connections have a successful result, while the public guides walk through the first task and recovery.
Can we build a completely different App or interface?
Yes. The open-source platform can be extended with new record types, lifecycles, queues, integrations, AI tools, and working screens that reuse your existing customer identity, permissions, and history. Settings cover the supported configuration today, and deeper changes use code. The public customization and extension guides explain both paths.
Can AI create Apps inside Command Center?
That is a planned capability. The intended flow is to describe an App, preview an isolated draft, inspect its code and requested access, verify it, and publish a version that can be updated or rolled back. Today a coding assistant can build source changes through the repository's development and review workflow; the general-purpose in-app builder and development terminal are not yet available.
How do we control what AI can do?
AI-proposed changes go through the shared approval process. If you ask Ask AI to email someone, it can stage the exact message in the conversation and directs you to Work to check the recipient and wording. Approval and execution have separate results, so inspect the receipt after approving. External sends and other consequential operations retain required human approval. Internal autonomy depends on the action’s policy, and you can disable optional modules or plugins.
Where does our data live?
A managed Command Center uses tenant-scoped records, active membership and an audit trail to separate business workspaces. A self-hosted installation uses the database and provider accounts you control. For a managed implementation, agree on export, backup and handoff responsibilities in the written scope.
What does it cost, and how long does it take?
Explore the fictional demo without an account. Self-hosting uses infrastructure and provider accounts you control, with their normal usage costs. For implementation help, start with a discovery session and written plan; scope, price and timing are agreed around the workflow and connections your business needs.
