Capabilities
The four things Olga does in Phase 1, and the confirmation rule that runs through all of them.
Phase 1
In Phase 1, Olga does four things. Together they let a leadership team run on RunOlga by talking to Olga instead of filling out forms.
The four capabilities
| Capability | What it does |
|---|---|
| Conversational data entry | Create and update Priorities, Issues, Processes, and Metrics by talking to Olga instead of filling out forms. |
| Basic retrieval | Ask Olga about the current state of the organization and get grounded, scoped answers. |
| Setup clarification | During setup, Olga flags incomplete or ambiguous entries and asks what is missing. |
| Priority-to-task decomposition | When a Priority is created, Olga proposes a task breakdown you iterate on and approve. |
Priority-to-task decomposition is the most significant Phase 1 capability — the one that most directly differentiates RunOlga.
What runs through all four
Three rules apply to every capability, not just one.
Confirmation before writes. Olga proposes; you decide. Nothing is written to the organization's record without your explicit confirmation, captured in the conversation. This holds whether she is creating a single Issue or a full set of Tasks from a Priority. See grounding and confirmation.
Permissions and isolation. Every query and every write is scoped to the permissions of the person Olga is talking to. She does not surface or change anything outside that scope, and she never reaches another organization's data. See permissions and isolation.
Grounding. Every answer is grounded in the organization's actual content and current state. Olga does not invent records or guess at numbers; when she does not know something, she says so. See how Olga works.
What is not a capability yet
Phase 1 is deliberately narrow. In Phase 1 Olga prepares, proposes, surfaces, and captures — she does not decide or recommend. The following are on the roadmap, not live today:
- Suggesting or recommending a course of action, and deciding anything on the team's behalf
- Recognizing patterns across history (for example, whether an issue keeps recurring)
- Pre-meeting briefings and analytical synthesis
- Running the pulse meeting
- People reviews and 1-on-1s
