Managing Approvals
Handle approval requests from the client app.
When an AI action requires oversight, you'll receive a notification in the Edison Watch client app.
Where to Find Approvals
Approvals are managed through the client app on your computer:
- Notifications: Click the desktop popup.
- Menu: Click the Edison Watch icon and select Pending Approvals.
The dashboard shows session history, but active approvals are handled in the client app for immediate response.
Making a Decision
✅ Approve
The AI is doing what you asked. The action proceeds once.
🔄 Auto-Approve
The action is trusted and repetitive. Similar future actions will be allowed automatically.
❌ Deny
The action is suspicious or unrequested. The AI is blocked from completing this specific task.
The AI is paused: Your assistant cannot continue until you respond.
Reviewing Context
If you're unsure, check the session's history in the Dashboard:
- Go to Sessions.
- Find the active session.
- Review the timeline to see what data the AI has accessed.
Tips for Safe Approvals
- Check the destination: Is it sending data where you expect?
- Verify the tool: Is the AI using the correct tool for your request?
- Trust your gut: If an action seems unnecessary, deny it.
