What you'll build#
In this tutorial, you'll ask Sidekick to draft an email, review the proposal, approve it, and see the full audit trail. This covers the core loop of every LumenFlow interaction.
Step 1: Open Sidekick#
Navigate to your workspace and click Sidekick in the sidebar. You'll see a chat interface — this is where you delegate tasks.
Step 2: Delegate a task#
Type a natural-language instruction:
Draft a follow-up email to the design team about the Q2 review.
Keep it brief and professional.
Sidekick will generate a proposal — a preview of the action it wants to take, including the full email text.
Step 3: Review and approve#
The proposal appears in your chat with options:
- Approve — execute the action
- Edit — modify the draft before approving
- Reject — discard and try again
Click Approve to send the email.
Step 4: Check the audit trail#
Go to Observe → Activity in your workspace. You'll see:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Action | Send email |
| Status | Completed |
| Initiated by | You |
| Approved by | You (manual) |
| Timestamp | Just now |
| Token cost | 1,247 tokens |
info Every action Sidekick takes appears here — even auto-approved ones. Nothing happens in the dark.
