Pulse

Pulse is XClaw's async intelligence layer. It doesn't wait for you to ask — every day it automatically analyzes your work context and generates a briefing of things worth your attention.

The design philosophy behind Pulse is "proactive discovery." Traditional AI tools are passive: you ask a question, it gives an answer. Pulse flips this paradigm. It continuously observes your session activity, connected data sources, and open tasks, then proactively tells you "these things might need your attention."

Briefings are grouped by attention type: conversations needing follow-up, noteworthy changes, yesterday's progress, suggested actions. Each item appears as a card with a thumbnail and brief description. One glance tells you where to start your day.

Pulse generation is driven by an automation rule — triggered once each morning by default. You can adjust frequency, scope, and which model to use. It's essentially a pre-configured automation task that you can also trigger manually anytime.

Pulse also supports internal Skills like deep-diving into a topic or generating weekly summaries. These capabilities will continue to grow with each release.

How to

Pulse has a dedicated entry in the left sidebar, typically a lightning bolt or pulse icon. Click it to see the latest briefing. First-time users will be guided through initial setup.

By default, Pulse generates automatically once each morning. Want to adjust the frequency? Open Settings > Pulse to change the trigger time, select which AI model Pulse uses, and set the scope (e.g., only watch sessions with certain labels).

Don't want to wait for the schedule? There's a "Generate Now" button in the top-right corner of the Pulse page for manual triggers.

Every card in a Pulse briefing is clickable — clicking jumps you directly to the relevant session or data source, making follow-up quick and seamless.
