Glossary

The words you meet in your first session, in plain English.

Abort

Type abort and send it to stop the current run.

API key

A long code you generate inside another system (your POS, Metrc, Klaviyo) and paste into Winston to connect it. The key's own permissions decide what Winston may do there.

Approve / Reject

Yes, do what the card says / No. Rejected items are archived, nothing is sent, the chat answer stays.

Credits

What work costs. 100 credits = $1 on Starter, $0.83 on Pro. Bigger jobs use more; free earned credits never expire.

Delivery

Where a scheduled job sends its result. None means Library only. Slack or email means it goes out with no Approve.

Draft / Ready

Library items Winston is still finishing sit under Draft. Approved work moves to Ready.

Learn Winston

The last item in the left menu: starter prompt cards picked for you, each with Run this and What to expect.

Library

Approved files and pages land in the Library; other actions go to the destination named on the Work Audit card. Holds Webpages, Spreadsheets, Reports, Videos, Decks. Team-wide.

Missing fields / limitations

The section at the end of an answer that says what the data could not do. Read it first.

New Chat

Starts a fresh session with fresh context. Winston does not carry the previous conversation over.

Overview

Your home page: an Ask box, the Morning Briefing, Pending Approvals, and Upcoming Jobs.

Padlock (locked prompt)

A prompt that needs a connection you have not made yet. Hover the padlock to see which one.

POS

Point of sale: the system that rings up sales and tracks inventory (Treez, Dutchie, or Blaze).

Prompt

An instruction you give Winston, typed in Chat or run from a card. Starter prompts are the ready-made ones on Learn Winston.

Run this

Start a starter prompt now. It reads data and writes the answer in Chat. Finished files and tasks park in Work Audits.

Scheduled Task

A job Winston runs on a schedule you set by asking in Chat. One card per job on the Scheduled Tasks screen.

Session

One chat thread. Come back any time; Winston remembers its context.

Suggestion

The Work Audits tab for work Winston proposes on its own. Nothing runs unless you act on one; Pending holds the work you asked for.

"Thought for 2m · 12 steps"

Working notes. Click to expand. Safe to skip; open them when you want to see where a number came from.

Work Audit

Winston's "may I?" inbox. Not an audit of you. Finished work that would publish, send, or create something waits here.

Workspace

Your company account: one Winston, one credit balance, one team. Switch at bottom left if you have several.
