Team Collaboration

The sidebar in AlertD is your real-time window into everything happening across your workspace. Whether you’re working solo or collaborating with a team, the sidebar helps you stay organized, aligned, and up to speed.

AlertD isn’t just a personal assistant—it’s a shared investigation tool that makes infrastructure knowledge visible and accessible across your entire team.

The Sidebar: Your Activity Hub

AlertD sidebar showing My Activity, Tags, and Team Activity sections

The sidebar is divided into three main sections that help you navigate your workspace:

1. My Activity

This section shows all your recent chats and agent prompts.

What you’ll see:

  • Every question you’ve asked
  • Timestamps for each session
  • Session names (auto-generated from your question)
  • Quick access to reopen previous sessions

What you can do:

  • Reopen sessions – Click any session to view its full history
  • Pick up where you left off – Continue previous investigations
  • Review past findings – Reference earlier results
  • Distinguish topics – Easily tell apart different investigations (e.g., “EBS Volumes” vs “RDS Lag”)

Session organization:

  • Most recent sessions appear at the top
  • Sessions are automatically named based on your initial question
  • You can rename sessions for better organization
  • Sessions persist indefinitely in your workspace

2. Tags

Organizational labels for categorizing and grouping related sessions.

Use cases:

  • Group sessions by project
  • Tag infrastructure reviews
  • Organize by service (EC2, S3, RDS)
  • Mark urgent vs routine investigations

3. Team Activity

This section gives you visibility into what your teammates are asking and exploring.

What you’ll see:

  • Active sessions from others in your workspace
  • Questions your teammates have asked
  • Timestamps showing when sessions were created
  • Visual avatars or agent icons associated with each session

What you can do:

  • See active sessions from others in your workspace
  • Learn from questions others have asked (and what they found)
  • Avoid duplication of work
  • Spot trends or recurring issues across your team

Privacy note:

  • Team Activity is scoped to your workspace (same email domain)
  • All team members see the same shared activity
  • Sessions are visible to everyone in the workspace
  • No cross-workspace access—your data stays private to your team

Key Takeaways

  • Sidebar shows all activity – Yours and your team’s

Understanding the sidebar and Team Activity helps you:
