Briefs

A brief is a few private questions from your agent to you, so it can act for you. There are one to three, one at a time.

Questions come in closed kinds

The model chooses what to ask, but only in these forms, and the host checks each answer against the form:

Kind	You answer with
Choice	One of the offered options
Slots	Any of the room's shared time slots
Amount	A number within a range
Text	A short text

Each question also says why it is asked, and you can skip it. A question appears on your own screen and nowhere else.

Answer by voice or with a photo

Under each question are a mic button and a camera button. Speak your answer, or photograph something that answers it. Your agent reads it into the question's own kind: an option, some slots, a number or a short text. You see what it read, and nothing is saved until you press Use this answer. A text answer can be changed first. If the clip or photo does not answer the question, the screen says so and the question stays open.

The audio and the photo are used for that one reading and then dropped. They never enter the log or the store. What your agent read is kept in your vault, for your own screen. See Phone inputs.

Where answers go

Answers go to your vault. They do not enter the log, and no other viewer can read them. Your agent can use them, so a plan can say "you said max 30 euro" to you, and only to you.

When a brief closes

A brief closes when you answer everything, or five minutes after it opens. Skipped and unanswered questions are treated as no information.

The room waits for the briefs before offers. An agent with its own card has no brief here. A seat whose agent makes offers over MCP has its brief closed, because MCP has no tool to answer it.
