What to Ask Lucy — A Practical Guide

Lucy Understands Plain English

You don’t need to learn commands or a special syntax to use Lucy. Just type what you’d say to a highly capable assistant sitting next to you. This guide shows the most useful things to ask — organized by situation.

When You Start Your Day

• “What’s my plan for today?”
• “What meetings do I have this week?”
• “What tasks are overdue?”
• “Any urgent emails I should know about?”
• “What did the team work on yesterday?”

Managing Tasks

• “Create a task: [name] — assign to [person], due [date].”
• “Mark the budget review task as done.”
• “What tasks are assigned to Alex this week?”
• “Which tasks in the Marketing project are overdue?”
• “Add a comment to the website redesign task: waiting for design approval.”

Email & Calendar

• “Check my inbox.”
• “Draft a reply to the last email from Sarah.”
• “Send an email to the team: the Friday meeting is moved to 3pm.”
• “What’s on my calendar tomorrow?”
• “Schedule a 1-hour kickoff call with John and Maria — find a time that works for all of us this week.”

Note: Email and Calendar require connecting your Gmail or Outlook account. See the Email and Calendar guides.

Team & Projects

• “Give me a status update on the Product Launch project.”
• “Who is working on what right now?”
• “What has the dev team been doing this week?”
• “Are there any blockers in the current sprint?”
• “Create a project: Q4 Marketing Campaign — with sections for Planning, Execution, and Review.”

Finding Information

• “What is our expense reimbursement policy?” (if it’s in the Knowledge Base)
• “Search the web for the latest AI productivity tools.”
• “Summarize the meeting notes from last Tuesday.”

Things Lucy Can’t Do (Yet)

• Delete projects or workspaces (for safety — always requires a human)
• Access data outside your PeerBie workspace
• Read documents you haven’t shared with her via the Knowledge Base

Pro tip: If Lucy asks you to confirm before doing something (like sending an email or deleting a task), that’s intentional — she checks before taking any irreversible action.
