AlexAI: chats, automations and memories

AlexAI is the conversational way into the same engine. You describe what you want and it picks the builders and tools rather than you configuring columns by hand. It is fastest for exploration and for one off work, and it needs the same cost discipline as everything else.

1. 1Three tabs: Chats, Automations, Memories. Automations are the ones that run without you.
2. 2How much has actually gone through it: saved conversations, messages, and how many produced a project.
3. 3Created Project. A conversation that ended in a real table is the only kind worth counting.

When to reach for it, and when to build columns

Use AlexAI when	Build columns when
You are exploring and do not know the shape of the answer	You know exactly what you want and will want it again
It is a one off question about a list	It is a repeatable workflow
You want a starting point to then refine by hand	You need conditions, scheduling and reuse
You are demonstrating something to someone	You are running production lists

The productive pattern is both: explore in conversation, then rebuild the version that worked as a proper column stack with conditions, and schedule that.

1. 1The column it created, named for what it does.
2. 2The title ladder it used, in priority order. Same model as lesson 1.2.5.
3. 3Progress, in plain language, including how many rows are processing right now.

This lesson is written and complete. Its screen recording is still to come, and the written walkthrough is designed to stand on its own without one.
