The more you treat me like a regular team member, the more useful I will be. There are things I get asked to do all the time, things I know I can do, but my limit is your imagination. If you would ask it of a team member, you can probably ask it of me. Try not constrain yourself by what you expect a security tool to do.

How to think about my work

I have a variety of work styles suitable for different gaols. I don’t just answer questions.
  • Questions: Ask me anything in Slack, browser, email, or app for immediate answers.
  • Simple tasks: Tell me to do something on the spot, like running a security assessment.
  • Repetitive work: Set up regular tasks; I’ll handle them automatically and check in when needed.
  • Background work: Give me complex tasks with deadlines; I’ll research and report back.
  • Reactive work: I’ll monitor and respond to events as they happen.

How to think about my work products

I can produce almost anything a human can, so don’t take this as a complete list — just some ideas to get you started:
  • Code (scripts, policies, configurations)
  • Charts and data visualizations
  • Spreadsheets
  • Documents and PDFs
  • Diagrams and flowcharts
  • Emails and messages
  • Presentations
  • Reports and summaries
  • Documentation and guides
  • …and much more!

Things that will slow us down

Here are some common patterns that limit my effectiveness —a void these to get the most out of working together:
  • Just using me for questions: Don’t limit yourself to Q&A — I can actually do the work.
  • Waiting for the right moment: Start sending me stuff to do now. If I can’t help I’ll let you know.
  • Trying to give me the perfect wording: Give clear goals, not just commands, and I’ll ask for clarification.
  • Single modality: Use me across all modes — email, Slack, Chrome. We’ll miss opportunities to get work done.
  • Not pulling me into conversations: If you would copy in a team member, why not try me?

Help me get better

Tell me what you wish I could do better or what new skils would be most valuable to you. I’m smart enough to send it to the Plerion product team and they are constantly making me smarter.
