Chat with the AI assistant

Chat is where you work with Growth Method’s AI assistant, Ada. Ask her about your campaigns, goal and connected data, or hand her a whole job: finding, planning, launching or analysing a campaign. This guide covers starting a chat, running skills, catching up on what changed, approving actions, and getting back to earlier chats.

Chat here or in your own AI app

Chat in Growth Method is built for one job: working on your campaigns, with your goal, strategy, memory and integrations already loaded. It isn’t trying to be a general AI assistant, and Claude, ChatGPT and other AI apps will always be ahead on the chat experience itself.

If you already spend your day in one of those apps, connect it to Growth Method and work there. The MCP server gives it your campaigns, skills and connected integrations, and anything that would change something still waits for your approval.

Chat here is still the quickest way in: there’s nothing to set up, and the Chat buttons around the app open a chat that already knows which campaign, integration or agent you mean.

Start a chat

Select Chats in the sidebar. A fresh chat opens with Ada’s greeting.
Type your message and press Enter.

Ada names the chat once she has replied to your first message, and the chat gets its own address at the same time, so you can bookmark it or send the link to a team-mate.

Many pages also open a chat with the right context already loaded: the Chat button on a campaign, the chat icon next to an integration, or Start a chat on an agent. Those chats already know which campaign, integration or agent you mean, so you don’t need to explain. A chat attached to a campaign names it above the chat title: select the name to go back to the campaign.

Run a skill

Skills are ready-made jobs. Type / in the message box to see them, or type the command:

/create-campaign finds a campaign idea grounded in your data
/prioritise-campaign explains or re-runs a campaign’s priority score
/catch-up tells you what changed in the workspace while you were away
/plan-campaign, /launch-campaign and /analyse-campaign take a campaign through its next stage
/remember adds, updates or removes something in the team’s memory
/usage shows this month’s AI credit usage
/feedback sends feedback to the Growth Method team
/clear starts a new chat

Your workspace’s own skills are in the same menu. Type the name followed by the task, for example /copy-editing tighten this page.

The stage skills also sit on the campaign itself: the buttons on a campaign page open a chat and run the matching skill for you.

Catch up on what changed

Back after a few days off, or starting your week? Type /catch-up and Ada tells you what changed in the workspace over the last 7 days. Add a period to change the window, for example /catch-up last fortnight or /catch-up since Monday. It looks back up to 30 days.

The reply opens with the dates it covers, then two sections:

For you: comments that mention you, and changes and comments on campaigns you own.
Across the team: new campaigns, campaigns that moved stage (Live first), archived and edited campaigns, comments, and the changes agents made in your connected tools, naming any that failed.

Each campaign links to its page. In a busy week Ada groups the smaller changes, for example “6 more Backlog campaigns edited”, so the important ones stay visible.

Catch-up reports only what Growth Method recorded. It tells you a campaign was edited, but not which field changed, and it never guesses why something happened. Ask a follow-up about any campaign to see its full detail.

The weekly summary email has a Catch me up link that opens a chat and runs it for you.

Ask about your workspace’s activity

Ada can also answer questions about your own campaigns, comments and agent actions, such as “How many campaigns went Live in October?”, “Who commented most this month?” or “How many campaigns does each person own?”. She counts and groups them by stage, owner, channel or month, so a simple report needs no export. These questions only read your data; nothing changes.

Ada can search the web and read public pages. Paste a link into your message, for example a competitor’s pricing page or a Google Sheet shared with anyone who has the link, and ask what you want to know. She also searches the web herself when a question needs it, up to 10 searches and 10 pages per reply.

She can only read pages anyone can open without signing in. For a private sheet, site or tool, connect it as an integration instead.

Approve actions in connected tools

Reading your data never needs approval. When Ada wants to change something in a connected tool (publish a page, edit a file, create a record) she stops and shows an approval card that says what she is about to do. See How approvals work for how Growth Method decides.

Approve runs the action and the chat continues.
Reject skips it; nothing changes in the tool.

When Ada proposes several actions at once, each shows its own card, and an Approve all button appears below them. It approves everything still waiting in one click; anything you rejected stays rejected.

When the action edits a file, the card names the file and how many changes it makes. Select Show changes to see each one, with the old text above the new.

Only an accepted Autonomous agent running on its own schedule works without these prompts. In chat, you always decide.

See what Ada did

While Ada works, each tool she uses appears as a line above her reply, so you can follow along rather than watch a blank pause. A tick means the tool answered; a cross means it failed, and shows why. An amber ⊘ means the action didn’t run: you rejected it, or a Growth Method tool declined to act, for example a campaign save held back as a possible duplicate, and names what it found. An amber ⏸ means the action is waiting for your approval.

Some steps run inside the AI provider rather than in one of your connected tools. Those steps carry plain names: finding the right tool, searching the web, or reading a page.

The steps stay with the chat. Reopen it later and select the Based on 2 queries summary above a reply to expand the same list, so you can see which tools produced an answer and what each one looked at. When a reply needed several approvals, all of its steps sit under that one reply.

If a reply stops with an error before Ada has written anything, the chat shows a short note saying so. Send your message again to try once more.

Stop a reply

If Ada is heading the wrong way, or taking longer than you need, select Stop while she replies. It takes the place of the send button. She finishes the step she is on, usually within a few seconds, then tells you in one line what she did and what is left. The reply stays in the chat like any other, so you can steer her with your next message.

You can type your next message while she is still replying, then send it once she has finished.

Find an earlier chat

Select Chats in the sidebar.
Your recent chats are listed under the greeting, grouped by day: Today, Yesterday, Previous 7 days and Older.
Select a chat to reopen it, or Show more to see older ones.

The list shows your own chats in the current workspace. A campaign you have chatted about appears once, titled with the campaign name and with your latest chat on it underneath. Opening it shows that chat with the campaign’s earlier chats above it, read only. Those chats are also reachable from the campaign’s page, where the whole chat history sits with the campaign.

A chat where Ada is waiting for you to approve an action is marked Waiting for your approval in the list, so a paused chat doesn’t get forgotten.

Your agents’ runs are listed separately, under Agent runs, below your own chats. It shows the workspace’s five latest runs, newest first, and everyone on your team sees the same list. A run waiting for someone to approve an action is marked Waiting for approval. Agent runs have no bin icon: they are your team’s record of what each agent did. See Automate campaigns with a custom agent for more on runs.

Rename: open the chat and select the pencil next to its title.
Delete: in the recent chats list, hover a chat and select the bin icon. This removes it for you; it can’t be undone. Chats attached to a campaign have no bin icon: they are that campaign’s record, read by the history shown above its later chats and by any share link you’ve sent, so deleting one would take a stage out of the story for everybody. To keep a campaign chat to yourself, set it to Private instead. Archiving the campaign keeps its chats with it.
Private or shared: a chat attached to a campaign shows a Private / Shared toggle at the top. Shared chats are visible to your team from the campaign; private ones only to you. Chats created by an agent always stay visible to the team.
Share: creates a read-only public link to the chat for people outside your team, in the same way as campaign sharing links. When the chat belongs to a campaign, the link also shows that campaign’s earlier chats above it, so the page reads as the whole campaign rather than the single stage you shared. Chats set to Private stay out of it, and a shared page never shows the tool-by-tool detail or approval cards your team sees in the app.
