Say it in a sentence. Nothing happens until you press.

Almost everything you do in ANVL's menus can now be asked for in the conversation — send for review, download a PDF, restore a version. The answer is always a card with a button, and that button is the whole design.

Send the deck to Anna for review. Give me the link. Download it as a PDF. Get it back out of the bin. The version from 09:30. Duplicate it.

Each of those used to be a few clicks in a menu, in a part of ANVL you had to know about. Now each is a sentence in the conversation. And each one gets the same kind of answer: a card that says exactly what will happen — the recipient, the file, the version, the link — and a button.

Nothing runs until you press it.

What you can ask for

  • Reviews. Send something for review to a person, a group or all admins, and remind whoever has not answered. What is waiting for me? lists your reviews, numbered, so approve the first one is a real answer. You approve or request changes one at a time — the conversation asks which, even when only one is waiting — and an approval can still be undone under Review until the sender has seen it.
  • Getting it out. Download as a PDF or an image, present, share publicly, close the link again. The share link is created on the server; the conversation never makes up an address.
  • Undoing. Restore from the bin, restore a version — the card shows the time and what differs from the one before it — or duplicate.
  • Changing the deck. Change the headline on slide 2 gives a card that opens the editor with your words as the instruction.
  • Finding things. Show my images, show the decks from this summer, do we have a picture of a truck? gives a gallery in the thread — thumbnails, names underneath, one click to open. If nothing matches you get a plain answer, never an empty card.
  • A shorter version. Make a five-slide version of the sustainability deck for the board builds a new deck from the old deck's actual text, with figures and names intact. The original is left untouched.
  • Correcting what ANVL knows. We are no longer BF9K certified gives a card that retires the fact. It is not deleted; it stops being used — everywhere, including what the site builder writes.

Type /help and you get the whole list, built from what the conversation can actually do in your workspace. It does not call a model and does not cost a credit.

Why a card, every time

There is a version of this feature where the conversation just does things. You say send it to Anna, and it is sent. It feels faster. We did not build that, for three reasons.

A sentence is ambiguous, and the card is where that shows. Send it to my manager has no name in it. The heat-pump deck might be one of three. So before there is a card, the conversation asks whatever is missing — which deck, who, which version — and the card then states the answer it arrived at. You check it in a glance, before anything leaves the building.

That was not theoretical. In a test, email the presentation to my manager produced a card for a public link with no password and no expiry, on one of three similar projects the model had picked without asking. The rules are stricter now: a colleague as recipient means sharing inside the workspace or a review; a public link only comes when you ask for a link.

Your words are your words. When you ask for a change in the editor, the instruction on the card is what you wrote, verbatim. Write airier, clearer hierarchy, less text and that is exactly what it says — not a rephrasing the model thought was better. If the conversation has a suggestion of its own, it makes it in the text above the card.

A card is a record. Every card is a real action in the conversation's history, run when you pressed it. The conversation cannot write done on its own without anything having happened — an early version could, by imitating a card in plain text, and that was taken out.

What it costs before you press

The same rule applies to the one thing that does cost something. The Build button on a proposal now says what the build will cost before you press it: 1 credit · 41 left. And when a deck is done, the conversation suggests the next step — send for review, download, a LinkedIn version, present — as things to choose, not things it goes ahead with.

If you are evaluating ANVL: this is the line it holds. You can ask for almost anything in a sentence. Nothing is sent, shared, restored or approved until you have seen what it will be and pressed the button yourself.
