Home panels: live briefings
Live cards on Home that CX builds and refreshes for you: creating panels, card states, gestures, limits, action cards and Orbit data.
A Home panel is a small live card that CX builds for you and keeps up to date: a price, a short list, a countdown, a chart and more. Your panels appear on Home as a Today stack of briefings. When you have no panels, Home looks exactly as before.
Create a panel#
Ask in chat, for example "Bitcoin price in INR on Home" or "Home pe daal do". CX uses the create_panel tool and our server builds the panel:
- CX AI plans what to read (one to three public web pages or web searches, or a read-only action from an Orbit you connected).
- It reads those sources and draws the card from blocks: stat, list, chart, countdown, image, text and button.
- The card shows a shimmer while it is building (usually 10–40 seconds), then goes live.
Panels refresh on their own on a schedule (hourly, every 6 hours, daily or weekly, or once) and keep the same layout with new values.
Card states#
| State | What you see |
|---|---|
| Building | A shimmer placeholder. |
| Live | The card with its blocks. Tap it (or swipe it down) to open the full card with every block and button. |
| Failed | The reason and a Retry button. |
| Needs an app | A Connect button when the panel needs an Orbit you have not connected yet. |
| Paused | After 3 failed refreshes in a row the panel pauses and you get one notification. Refresh resumes it. |
Gestures#
- Swipe left: discard for today (it comes back tomorrow). Swipe right: Later. One Later · N tile on the shortcut row holds them; restore one or all.
- The cross next to Today clears today's stack.
- Long-press a card: Refresh now or Remove (deletes the panel for good, after a confirmation).
Discard and Later only change this phone. Remove is the permanent delete.
Limits#
- Up to 3 panels on the free plan and 10 with Pro.
- A manual refresh can be repeated after about 2 minutes per panel.
One-tap action cards#
Some briefings are ready-made actions, such as a prepared email reply. Tap the card to see the details; nothing is sent until you press its button (for example Send reply). A reply goes out through your connected Gmail.
Orbit data#
A panel can ask to use an app you connected in Orbits. The first time, CX asks "Let Home panels use …?". Only read actions are ever run, and disconnecting the Orbit stops it.
Turn it off#
Settings → Notifications → Home briefings (on by default). Off hides the Today stack and the Later tile and stops panel notifications.
Panel prompts, settings and the latest card contents are stored on the CX server so they can refresh while your phone is off. See the Privacy Policy.
