Until now your assistant only replied when someone wrote to it. With **Jobs** and **Flows**, your assistant
can also **act on its own**: check something tomorrow, send a summary every Monday, run a chain of steps
when a new contact comes in… The work doesn't end when the conversation ends.

- **Jobs** is the queue of everything your assistant has pending, in progress, or already resolved — a
  one-off task, whether it's a single occurrence or a repeating one.
- **Flows** is where you chain several steps into a single process, with the possibility for the process
  itself to **take one path or another** depending on what happens (a decision, not just a plain list of
  steps in sequence).

Every step the assistant runs — what it saw, what it decided, what it sent — is logged with a date and time
in a **step-by-step history**, visible right on the task's or flow's own record. You never have to trust
blindly what it did.
