Allow All & goal runs

Maintained by Mariia IvakhnenkoCo-founder

By default Literess proposes and you approve. Two switches change that pace. Allow All skips the per-change approval click, and a goal run lets her keep working on a big job turn after turn until it’s done. A Stop button keeps you in charge the whole way.

What does Allow All change?

With Allow All off (the default), every change Literess proposes waits on a confirmation chip until you approve it.

With it on, her proposals apply the moment she makes them: new block translations, glossary and style guide edits, document moves, workflow runs, workspace settings. She keeps working through the task in the same breath instead of stopping after each proposal.

The chip still appears in the chat, already marked “Applied automatically”, so you keep a record of everything she did.

When she changes several blocks of one document this way, the card offers Review in one screen: her applied edits beside the earlier text, each with Keep or Revert to previous. See the review screen.

Two exceptions hold no matter what:

  • inviting a teammate always asks first, because an email leaves your workspace
  • deleting a saved workflow always asks first, because there is no undo.
Allow All on: the change lands already applied.

How do I turn Allow All on and off?

Two places flip the same setting: the switch under Settings → Notifications, and the sparkle button in the header of the Literess panel, lit while the mode is on. You can also just tell her to turn it on. That request arrives on a chip you approve, so the mode can never switch itself on without one deliberate click from you. Turning it off works from anywhere, mid-task included.

Does Allow All cover what Literess suggests on her own?

No. When she writes to you without being asked (a failed run, a faster way to do something), whatever she proposes waits for your click, even with Allow All on.

To let those apply too, turn on Allow All on her own, just below Allow All in Settings → Notifications. Taking the chat to another document always asks for confirmation, whichever switches are on.

Warning. Beware that turning this setting on may lead to Literess spending all your balance doing whatever she finds suitable.

Allow All on her own sits just below Allow All.

How do I stop Literess mid-reply?

While she works, the send button in the composer becomes a square Stop button. Press it and she halts where she is: whatever she already applied stays applied, the words she already wrote stay in the chat, and anything she hadn’t started is dropped rather than left half-done. This works in every conversation, and if a goal run is underway it pauses the run too.

Stop halts her where she is; what she already applied stays applied.

What is a goal run?

A goal run is how Literess handles work that spans many blocks or pages: translate the whole document, chase one recurring mistranslation through all six chapters, check every block against the style guide.

Instead of doing one step and waiting for your next message, she sets herself the goal and keeps working turn after turn until it’s reached.

There’s no command to learn: describe the job and she takes it on.

While a run is open, a thin strip sits above the composer with the objective, the turns she’s used, the words she’s written, and a small bar for the run’s allowance. Pause on that strip stops the run once the current turn ends. Resume picks it back up.

With Allow All off, a goal run doesn’t wait for you between batches. She keeps working while her proposals wait, and each one appears on the review screen as she makes it, so you can accept or reject them while she writes the rest. Once 30 are waiting she pauses, and she carries on as you decide them. Each proposal is billed when she writes it, whether you accept it or not.

Her edits reach the review screen while she keeps working.

For bulk translation she normally reaches for the pipeline first: start a translate workflow, watch it run, then put her own effort into reviewing and fixing the result.

Her hand-written work is the expensive, careful layer, so she saves it for the places it beats the pipeline. If you want her to write everything herself, say so once and she will.

How does a goal run end?

  • She reaches the objective, declares the goal complete, and closes with a summary of what she did.
  • She hits something she can’t work around, says so plainly, and tells you what would unblock her.
  • The run uses up its built-in allowance of turns and compute. She finishes the turn cleanly and reports how far she got. A fresh goal continues from there.
  • You press Stop or Pause. The run waits until you resume it.

What do Literess’s actions cost?

Allow All and goal runs change who presses the button, never the price: the same work bills the same credits from the same balance. On a team document her work bills the team pool, like any run there.

What spends credits when Literess acts
ActionCost
Each of her turns on Starter and Pro: an answer to your message, and every step of a goal runThe credits the turn’s AI work takes; a goal run also stops at its own allowance
Writing a block translation you asked forOn Starter and Pro, part of the turn’s cost in the row above, with nothing charged per word on top. On Free, 3 credits per source word, charged when she writes it, whether you accept it or not
Running a workflow she set up, or a built-in templateThe run’s normal estimated cost
Re-activating wording a block already has, or switching versionsFree
A block translation she suggests on her own, unaskedOn Starter and Pro, part of the turn’s cost, so accepting it adds nothing. On Free, 3 credits per source word, only if you accept it; the price shows on Confirm
Reading, searching, navigating, filling in dialogsNo charge of their own
Common questions✦

Does Allow All let Literess spend credits without asking me each time?

Yes, for the actions she proposes in chat. A workflow she starts or a translation she writes bills exactly what it would have billed had you pressed the button yourself, and the resolved chip still shows what ran.

If you’d rather approve spending case by case, leave Allow All off (the default), or switch it off mid-task. The change takes effect on her next turn.

Can Literess translate my whole document on her own now?

Yes. Describe the job (“translate this whole document”) and she sets a goal run. Usually she starts a translate workflow for the bulk and then reviews the result herself.

If you want every block written by her hand, say so and she will. It usually has higher quality and is generally more creative.

The workflow route bills that run’s normal price. On Starter and Pro, her hand-written blocks are part of what your message costs, and the range under the message field covers them. On Free they bill 3 credits per source word.

What keeps a goal run from running forever?

Each run has a built-in allowance of turns and compute. When it’s used up she finishes the turn she’s on, reports her progress, and stops. You can start a fresh goal to continue. Your credit balance is a second brake, since her writes stop when it runs out, and Stop and Pause are always one click away.

Does pressing Stop undo what Literess already did?

No. Changes she already applied stay applied, the part of the reply she already wrote stays in the chat, and only the work she hadn’t started yet is dropped. Nothing is rolled back.

If you want a block back the way it was, its earlier versions are still in the block’s history.

Why did my goal run pause on its own?

Four causes:

  • You pressed Stop, which pauses the run along with the turn.
  • She finished a turn without finding anything left to act on, so the run parks instead of spinning.
  • 30 of her proposals are waiting for you. The run carries on as you accept or reject them.
  • An error interrupted a turn.

Press Resume on the goal strip to continue, or tell her what to do next.

With Allow All on, can she also press buttons in dialogs for me?

Yes, when you ask.

With Allow All on, she can press the button that starts or applies the work in an open dialog, such as a merge or a generation, and Accept or Skip on a review card. With it off, she sets the dialog up and tells you which button to press.

Two things still wait for you.

  • A block edit she makes while the review screen is open waits on its card for your Accept.
  • When she reaches out on her own, she presses a button only if Allow All on her own is on too.
