How Ask Ingrid works

It can draft. It cannot sign.

Ingrid reads through defined tools, proposes a change as a card with the exact fields, and waits. Only a person’s confirm lets Ingrid’s own code run it.

From a question to a confirmed change.

  1. 01 Ask

    Answers with their sources.

    Ask who is over 60 days, or what is still open with a vendor. Ingrid answers from live Spire reads and links the records it used.

    An answer with cited records.
  2. 02 Propose

    A proposal, not a write.

    Asked to restock, Ingrid prepares the purchase order as a card with every field, and flags that the price is above the last one.

    A purchase order proposal.
  3. 03 Work

    Everything waiting on you.

    The Work queue gathers proposals from every thread, each checked against live Spire before it can run.

Safety, by construction

Helpful, and kept honest.

Every guardrail is in Ingrid’s code, not in a prompt.

  • Typed reads

    Permission-checked reads through defined tools; never unrestricted access.

  • Confirm to write

    Nothing changes until you confirm; a proposal can be edited first.

  • Signed confirmations

    Each confirm is signed for that person and request; replays are refused.

  • No double writes

    A repeated confirm returns the same result instead of a second write.

  • Append-only audit

    Prompts, tool calls, proposals and results recorded per company.

  • Untrusted text labelled

    Text from documents and emails is treated as data, never as instructions.

  • Your Spire login

    Link your own Spire login so Spire’s history names you.

  • Private to you

    Ingrid is built into every app and kept private: a fast model by default, a stronger one when needed.
