An AI teammate in the team chat: ask, tell, send voice

A real AI member in the team chat — it has its own room, answers @Nabu anywhere, understands voice notes, and answers with the business's real tools. Turned on with copilot:enable.

What changed

The team chat gained a teammate: Nabu AI. It sits in the room like a colleague, not a bot outside the team:

  • Its own room: enabling it creates the open “Nabu AI” channel, where it introduces itself. Every question there gets an answer.
  • @Nabu anywhere: write @Nabu in any team channel; it answers right there, replying to your message.
  • It hears voice: send a voice note in its room (panel or app, up to 12 MB); the transcript lands under the message and the answer follows.
  • Its brain is the console: the same tools you have in the console — customers, tasks, invoices, reports. Anything that needs approval files its approval card for whoever asked.

How to use it

  1. An admin runs php artisan copilot:enable --business=<id> (off again with --disable).
  2. Open the “Nabu AI” channel in the panel and ask — or write @Nabu in any channel.
  3. Voice: attach an audio file to a chat message.

Good to know

  • Thirty questions an hour per business.
  • AI use is metered to the business's credit, like the console.
  • Off by default; the team decides.

The Desktop now works like a real one

Icons open with a double click, a right click opens a menu, a drag selects several icons, windows resize from any edge and snap to halves and quarters, and open windows sit on the taskbar or in the Dock. Each section has its own colour, and your wallpaper shows on the Desktop.
