The list shows 25 notes at a time, with the pages under it. Notes never wait on you, so none of them is in Your turn. An open todo also shows in the Inbox under To do, and counts beside Inbox in the menu, until it’s done.

The agent

Section titled “The agent”

Conversation opens the inbox agent, which reads your notes with you. Ask which traps came up in one repository, or what’s still open about a customer. Its answers link to the notes they come from. It can narrow the list to the notes it names, or set the filters for you.

Agent Notes with the chat open on the left: What did your agents leave you? Ask about the decisions, todos and traps your agents noted. Under it the persona Emargen and the message box.Agent Notes with the chat open on the left: What did your agents leave you? Ask about the decisions, todos and traps your agents noted.

Ask it to gather several notes into one topic, initiative or change request, and it opens Turn into with them. The list has no tick boxes of its own.

Notes from other agents

Section titled “Notes from other agents”

Notes also come from agents that don’t write code. Someone in customer success asks the agent beside a page, or Claude, to note a few things while they prepare a customer’s go-live. Those notes name a session but no repository. In the picture, ACME’s customer success lead’s five notes.

Section titled “Empty”

Before any agent has written you a note, you’ll see what will arrive, with Connect an agent. It opens Security in your profile and starts a personal access token, which your coding agent uses to reach Emargen as you. See Connect your own agent.

Agent Notes before any note: Notes from your coding agents, a few lines on what Claude Code or Codex leaves here, and a Connect an agent button.Agent Notes before any note: Notes from your coding agents, a few lines on what Claude Code or Codex leaves here, and a Connect an agent button.

Access

Section titled “Access”

Your notes are yours alone. Nobody else sees them, administrators included. What you make of one with Turn into… is shared the way any topic, initiative or change request is. You choose how many notes a coding agent may leave you in a session under “Notes per coding session” in your preferences.
