Loop Desk is an always-on business workspace that takes incoming signal (email, forms, feeds, notes) and turns it into briefs, watch items, and next actions.

Does Loop Desk send emails on my behalf?

Loop Desk can draft responses, but nothing sends until you approve and explicitly trigger it. The approval boundary is fundamental.

What signal sources does Loop Desk support?

Email, RSS/Atom feeds, form submissions, manual notes, and webhooks. The desk treats all sources equally in its processing loop.

rev 32 — Loop Desk changelog

rev 322026-04-29

Memory promotion → Slack, pinned outputs, cost spike alert, inline mention reply

Slack + outbound push when an output is promoted to memoryRev 26 made promote-to-memory a one-click operator move — the explicit signal that 'this insight should outlive the artifact's lifecycle.' Until rev 32 the action was silent: only operators staring at the dashboard knew the team's collective memory had grown. Now every promotion fires a Slack ping (with the kind, importance, and content excerpt) and dispatches a new memory.promoted outbound webhook event so downstream automations (a CRM, a wiki, a knowledge base) can mirror durable knowledge as it accumulates.
Pinned outputs (close 4-entity pinning symmetry)Memory pinning shipped rev 5; signals rev 22; tasks rev 23. Rev 32 closes the symmetry on the fourth core entity. A pinned output stays at the top of the approval queue regardless of how many fresh outputs land below it — the load-bearing brief, decision, or draft you want the team to actually see, not buried under noise. Pin button mounts inline next to the existing share/regenerate/promote chips. New PATCH /api/artifacts/:id/pin endpoint and the pinned visual treatment matches the rev-22/23 pinned panels for design consistency.
Cost spike detectionCompanion to the rev-21 cost cap warning. Where the cap warning fires only when an explicit dollar ceiling is configured, the spike detector fires whenever today's spend is at least 2× the trailing 7-day daily average and at least $0.50 absolute — even on workspaces with no cap. Catches a runaway noisy source or stuck loop before it eats the day's budget. Surfaces as a dismissible amber banner at the top of the dashboard (6h localStorage suppression so a real spike re-surfaces the next day) and pushes a Slack alert + workspace.cost_spike outbound event from the daily cron, rate-limited to once per workspace per day. New OutboundEvent: workspace.cost_spike.
Inline reply from the mentions inboxRev 30 added the mentions inbox; rev 31 added permalinks so a click from email or Slack lands on the exact comment. Rev 32 closes the open-and-respond loop. Tap Reply on any unread mention in the inbox and an inline textarea appears — Esc to cancel, post to send. The reply lands as a threaded comment under the original mention (parentCommentId set) so it folds under the thread automatically. Three-second action vs the previous scroll-into-thread → type → scroll-back loop.
