See exactly what your AI agent is asking you to OK

Key points

• An OK card now shows the real thing: the page with the button ringed, the price, the dates, or the email itself.
• The title, price, picture and button come from the checkout, the payment or the page, not from the AI's own words.
• Anything that spends money needs a press held for most of a second.
• Products appear side by side with photos, and the one Nox would choose is marked with its reason.
• The Wallet tab shows where your money is on one strip, by wallet or by coin.
• Click a project in the sidebar to see its team underneath it.
• Sign-in codes and one-time links in your own email are now hidden from the AI.
• The Mac app finds and downloads its own updates, and shows a bar in the sidebar when one is ready.

When Nox needs your OK, nox.cool now shows you the thing you're agreeing to. You see the real page with the button ringed, the price, the nights on a strip, and an email as the other person will read it. Shopping, the wallet and projects got clearer in the same way.

#What does an OK look like now?

It looks like what you're agreeing to. Before, you read a sentence describing the action. Now a hotel booking shows the hotel's own page, the total, your nights in black on a strip of dates, and the last day you can cancel, when the page gives one.

The title, the price, the picture and the button come from the checkout, the payment or the page. The AI doesn't write them, because this card is how you check the AI. Anything that spends money needs a press held for most of a second, and the button says what it does: Hold to book for €740.

To try it: ask Nox to book or buy something. Nox stops at the last step and the card appears.

#Do emails look different?

Yes. An email now appears on a white sheet, even in dark mode, with the recipient, the subject, the body and your signature, as the other person will read it. Press Edit to change a word before it goes.

#How does shopping look?

Products now sit side by side on a shelf with their photos, prices, ratings and whether they're in stock. The one Nox would choose is marked, with its reason. Nothing is bought until you OK the total.

To try it: ask Nox to find you something to buy, like a rain jacket under £100.

#What changed in the wallet?

Open the Wallet tab beside a task. One strip shows where your money is, to true proportions, by wallet or by coin. Tap a row to see what's in it. Open trades sit together, the one closest to liquidation first, and flag any trade with no stop.

#Where do I see a project's team?

Click a project in the sidebar. Its team opens underneath, with the lead marked. A small arrow folds it away. The windows for a new agent, a new group chat and a new project are also wider, shorter and calmer.

#Does the Mac app update itself?

Yes. nox.cool for Mac now looks for a new version every half hour and downloads it by itself. A bar at the top of the sidebar shows how far along it is, then turns into New version ready with a Restart button. If you ignore it, the update installs when your Mac is locked or idle for ten minutes, or when you quit the app.

#What got safer?

Three things, with nothing for you to set up:

• Sign-in codes and one-time sign-in links in your own email are hidden from the AI. Nox can use one only with your OK, and never reads it.
• Hidden text is shown up. Invisible characters in anything you're asked to OK now appear as a visible mark.
• Sign-ins end after 14 days without use, so a forgotten browser doesn't stay signed in.

The story of why we built it this way is in what should an AI agent show you before it acts? You can ask for early access at nox.cool.

#Questions and answers

What does nox.cool show before an AI agent acts?

A card with the thing itself. For a website, a picture of the page with the button ringed. For a booking, the price and the nights on a strip. For an email, the email as it will arrive. Nox waits until you decide.

Does the AI write what's on the card?

The title, price, picture and button on these cards come from the checkout, the payment or the page. The card exists to check the AI, so the AI doesn't get to describe its own action. Actions with no picture or price yet keep the plain card.

Why do I have to hold the button to pay?

A press held for most of a second can't happen by accident. Anyone using a keyboard or a screen reader presses it the ordinary way.

Can Nox see the sign-in codes in my email?

No. When Nox reads your Gmail or Outlook, sign-in codes and one-time sign-in links are taken out first. If it needs one to finish a job, it uses it only with your OK, without ever reading it.

Where can I try this?

It's part of nox.cool's early access, which is by invite for now.
