Frequently asked questions

What does Lucien do day‑to‑day?

Lucien watches key signals (email, calendar, chat, tasks, billing, analytics), summarizes what changed, flags risks (e.g potential churn, missed payments, etc.), and drafts follow‑ups and playbooks so you can approve in one click. With the chat interface, you can ask Lucien to do anything, from summarizing a conversation to drafting a follow‑up email, to scheduling a meeting, drafting an investor update, preparing a pitch deck, etc.

Will Lucien send messages automatically?

Approval‑first by default. You can enable auto‑send or auto‑execute for specific playbooks later; everything is logged for audit.

Does Lucien see our code?

No. Lucien connects to business tools you already use (e.g., Gmail, Slack, Notion, Linear, Stripe, PostHog). No source‑code access.

How do you connect to tools?

Via OAuth with least‑privilege scopes. You can review scopes and revoke access at any time.

What data do you retain?

Zero data retention by default. Minimal metadata is kept to render briefs and actions. See Security and DPA.

Can Lucien fix issues or just suggest?

It does both: proposes improvements and drafts follow‑ups; with approval, it can execute playbooks (e.g., ping owner, kick off recovery, schedule follow‑ups).

How long does setup take?

Typically 5–10 minutes. Connect Gmail/Slack/Stripe and you’ll receive your first brief right away.
