The Work Ledger

See what your helper proposed, what you reviewed, what actually happened, and how its trust changed.

On this page

The Work Ledger (/dashboard/activity) is your record of what your AI helper has actually done. It answers four questions in plain terms: what did the helper propose, what did you decide, what really happened, and how has the helper’s earned trust changed.

The Work Ledger is history, not a to-do list. Anything still waiting on your decision lives in the Inbox (/dashboard/triage), and the Ledger links you there. It also works while your helper is stopped, because the record is kept by BrainRoad, not by the helper itself.

The three tabs

Work record

The default tab. Each entry shows the full arc of one piece of work:

  • Helper proposed: what the helper drafted or suggested, such as a customer email reply or a note for your Business Brain.
  • Human review: what you (or your delegated reviewer) did with it: approved, edited, or declined.
  • Actual outcome: what actually happened after that, such as the email sending or a failure that needs attention.

The tab also shows anything currently pending in your Inbox, with a link to review it there, and your current trust rules: the narrow, revocable permissions your helper has earned for specific low-risk work, plus how they changed and why. See how review works for the full picture.

Technical activity

A lower-level audit feed of runtime and system events, meant for troubleshooting rather than daily review. You can filter by category (All, Lifecycle, Communication, Tool Use, Coding, Social, Config, Errors) and by date range. While the helper is running, a LIVE indicator shows new events streaming in as they happen; events load 50 at a time with a Load More button. See Reading the Technical Feed for how to interpret it.

Daily Briefing

A short daily recap grounded in the recorded work, your Inbox counts, and reported usage. If no briefing exists yet for today, a Generate Briefing button builds one from the last 24 hours of activity.

Usage numbers are honest

The stats bar above the tabs shows the day’s activity and usage. BrainRoad only shows numbers it can actually account for. When token or cost data is incomplete, the dashboard says so instead of showing a false zero. “Today” is measured in UTC.

Where approvals live

Approvals never happen inside the Work Ledger. Every draft that would touch the outside world waits in the Inbox, where you approve, edit, or decline it. The Ledger records the result afterward. This separation is deliberate: one place to decide, one place to look back.
