# What Revnu Does on Its Own Each Day, and What Waits for You

> How Revnu works day to day. What it does on its own every day, what always waits for your yes, what your approval settings decide, when it messages you, and how to hand it more of the work.

Revnu works on your business every day without being asked. It checks your results, does the next piece of work and tells you what moved. Some work goes out on its own. Spending, replies to prospects and your first sequence always wait for your yes. Your approval settings decide the rest.

## On its own vs waits for you

| Revnu does this on its own | This waits for your yes |
|---|---|
| Reads your results every day: replies, booked calls, ad numbers, rankings, AI answers | Your first sequence |
| Finds leads and drafts the next emails | Replies to prospects (Revnu drafts, you send) |
| Writes blog posts, and on Pro publishes them after a hold, unless you dismiss them | Anything that spends money: ad budgets, domains, inboxes, gifts |
| On Pro, starts new sequences after your first one | Booking links and Reddit comments |
| Runs your workflows and the checks it promised | On Pro by default: one-off emails, LinkedIn invites and messages, ad tests |
| Messages you when something changed, plus a Monday roll-up | Anything you set to **Ask Me First** |

The right-hand column is the [approvals](/docs/approvals) page in short. The first four rows on the right never move. Everything marked "On Pro" follows the six approval settings in **Settings > Agent**: switch one and that work moves to the other column.

> **Tip:** Say "pause" or "ask first" in chat at any time to hold sends.

## What does Revnu do each day?

Once a day, at your check-in time (10am in your timezone unless you change it), Revnu runs a work session. In it, it can:

- Read your latest results: replies, booked calls, ad numbers, search rankings and AI answers
- Replace an experiment that's losing with a new one
- Find more leads and draft the next emails
- Write or refresh a blog post
- Follow up on anything it asked you and you haven't answered

It does at least one piece of this work every day, even on a quiet day and even while something waits for your approval. For example, it finds more leads for a sequence you haven't approved yet.

Between sessions it also runs:

- **Workflows.** Standing work you asked for on a schedule, such as "every Monday, find 20 new seed-stage fintech founders". They live in **Workflows**. See [recurring work](/docs/recurring-work).
- **Follow-ups it booked.** If Revnu says "I'll check tomorrow", it books that check and does it.
- **Watches.** Ask Revnu to tell you when something happens, such as "tell me if conversions stop" or "let me know when they change their pricing page". It writes a small check that runs every few minutes and wakes it the moment the check trips. It can set one up on its own after connecting tracking or launching a campaign. A quiet watch messages no one. Ask "what are you watching?" to see them, or tell it to stop one.
- **Long research.** Big lead lists and market scans run in the background and report back when done.

## When does Revnu message me?

- **The daily update.** One short message after the daily session, only when something changed: a result, something that went live, or a question that's blocking work. On a quiet day you hear nothing.
- **The Monday roll-up.** Once a week, on Monday, a short summary: one number against last week, what went live, anything waiting on you, and one offer of what to do next. It comes even in a quiet week.
- **When it needs you.** A prospect replied, a blocker only you can clear, or a decision with a deadline.

Messages go to the channel you last wrote to Revnu on: Slack, iMessage or the dashboard chat. To change the time, tell Revnu ("send my update at 8am"). To stop the daily update, say "turn off the daily update". That also stops the Monday roll-up. The daily work still runs, and Revnu still messages you when it needs you. See [daily updates and the Monday report](/docs/reports).

## What waits for me?

Your approval settings decide what Revnu does alone. Open **Settings**, then the **Agent** tab, and find **What Needs Your Approval**. Each of the six rows can be **Ask Me First** or **Just Do It**.

![The Agent tab of Settings, What Needs Your Approval, with an Ask Me First or Just Do It switch on each row and the Always Asks First box at the bottom](/docs/screens/settings-approvals.webp)

These are the Pro defaults. On Managed, the starting values depend on how your account was set up.

| Setting | On Pro, by default |
|---|---|
| Blog Posts | Just Do It |
| Start Sequences | Just Do It |
| One-Off Emails | Ask Me First |
| Connection Requests (LinkedIn) | Ask Me First |
| Messages (LinkedIn) | Ask Me First |
| Ad Tests | Ask Me First |

Some things always wait, whatever the settings say:

- Your first sequence
- Anything that spends money or changes a budget: ad budgets, domains, inboxes, gifts
- Replies to prospects, and booking links
- Reddit comments

What waits shows up as a card in **Review**. On **Just Do It**, a blog post still sits in Review until the next weekday at 9am your time, at least 24 hours away, so you can dismiss it first. See [what Revnu asks before it acts](/docs/approvals).

## How do I hand more of the work to Revnu?

### 1. State a goal, not steps

This is the fastest way to hand over more. Give Revnu the outcome, who it's for and when you want it by. It chooses the leads, the copy and the follow-ups, and works toward the goal in its daily sessions:

> Get me 10 replies from founders of UK software companies with 5 to 50 staff by the end of this month. Email and LinkedIn are both fine. Tell me each Monday how close we are.

> Book 5 demos with heads of finance at accounting firms this quarter. Start with email, and only suggest ads if email stalls for three weeks.

> Grow sign-ups from Google. Write posts that answer the questions our buyers search for before they've heard of us, and show me which ones start getting clicks.

A list of steps, such as "email these five people", makes you the one driving.

For standing work on a schedule, ask for a workflow:

> Every Monday at 9am, post last week's emails sent, replies and booked calls to this channel.

See [recurring work](/docs/recurring-work).

### 2. Loosen the approval settings you trust

In **Settings > Agent > What Needs Your Approval**, switch the kinds of work you're happy with to **Just Do It**. Setting **Ad Tests** to **Just Do It**, for example, lets Revnu swap a losing ad for a new one inside a test budget you already approved.

### 3. Say yes when it asks

After you've approved a run of good work, Revnu may ask once whether it can send or publish that kind of work on its own. Say "ask first" or "pause" any time to take it back.

## How do I give Revnu context?

Revnu reads **Settings > Memory** before everything it does. The list on the left holds three kinds of section:

- **About your business**: one section per topic, such as **Who We Sell To**: what you sell, who buys it, where they are and who to skip.
- **Product Facts**: true things it may say about your product.
- **Never Say**: claims it must never make. These are enforced on every send and post.

Pick a section, edit it and press **Save**. Revnu uses the change on its next message. You can also just tell it in chat ("we only sell to clinics with 5+ locations"), and it keeps Memory up to date. See [teach Revnu your business with Memory](/docs/memory).

## Is there a daily limit?

On Pro, the work Revnu schedules for itself has a daily limit, reset at midnight UTC. If it's reached, held work moves to just after midnight UTC. Nothing is lost. Your own messages are always answered, though they count toward the day. Managed has no limit.

## What you'll see

- A short update in your channel on days something changed.
- A roll-up every Monday.
- New cards in **Review** when Revnu needs a yes.
- Upcoming and running work in the **What I'm doing** panel on **Home**.

## If it doesn't work

| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| No message for days | On quiet days Revnu stays silent. Ask "what did you do this week?" for a summary. If you turned the daily update off, say "turn the daily update back on" |
| You feel like you're driving everything | Give Revnu a goal with a number and loosen one approval setting. See [above](#how-do-i-hand-more-of-the-work-to-revnu) |
| Revnu stopped altogether | See [Why did Revnu stop working?](/docs/agent-stopped) |

## Frequently asked questions

### What does Revnu actually do without me telling it?

Every day it runs a work session: it reads your results, replaces losing experiments, finds more leads, drafts the next emails or posts, and follows up on open questions. It also runs your workflows and any checks it promised. You hear from it when something changed, plus a roll-up every Monday.

### Does Revnu send a report every day?

It sends a short daily update only on days when something changed, so quiet days stay quiet. Every Monday it sends a weekly roll-up. You can move the daily update to another hour, or turn it off, by telling Revnu in chat.

### How do I stop approving everything?

Open **Settings > Agent > What Needs Your Approval** and set the kinds of work you trust to **Just Do It**. Spending, prospect replies, Reddit comments and your first sequence always wait. Giving Revnu a goal rather than step-by-step instructions also means fewer decisions land on you.

### What's the best way to give Revnu business context?

Edit **Settings > Memory**, or tell Revnu in chat and let it update Memory itself. Who you sell to, what's true about your product and what it must never say all live there. Revnu reads Memory before everything it does.

### Does Revnu post or send without asking me?

Some work, yes. On Pro, blog posts publish on their own after a hold unless you dismiss them, and new sequences after your first go live without asking. Your first sequence, replies to prospects, booking links, Reddit comments and anything that spends money always wait. Change the rest in **Settings > Agent**. See [approvals](/docs/approvals).

### What's the fastest way to hand more work to Revnu?

Give it a goal with a number, such as "10 replies from UK founders this month", instead of step-by-step instructions. Then set the kinds of work you trust to **Just Do It** in **Settings > Agent**.

### Is Revnu a tool, an agency or a hire?

It works like a growth hire. It does the work on its own every day and reports to you, and you approve what goes out. On Pro, Revnu runs your account itself, and Managed adds a growth engineer from the Revnu team.
