Until now, Alfred lived in two places: Ask Alfred and Second Brain. Everywhere else, asking him something meant leaving the page you were working on. He now comes with you.

## Alfred on Citations, My documents, and the manuscript editor

- **Open him from the page you are on.** An Ask Alfred pill sits at the bottom of Citations, My documents, and the manuscript editor. Select it, or press Cmd+J (Ctrl+J on Windows and Linux), and Alfred opens beside your work. Press the shortcut again to close him.
- **He sees what is on the page.** Alfred reads the library, folder, or draft in front of you, so you can ask about it directly instead of describing it first.
- **He suggests, you decide.** When a request calls for a change, such as inserting a citation, tidying your references, or renaming or deleting a folder, Alfred proposes it as a card. Nothing changes until you confirm the card.

## References in the manuscript editor

- **An inline marker, nothing more.** Inserting a citation now places only the in-text marker where your cursor is. Your paragraph stays whole.
- **One References section.** The draft ends in a single References section in the citation style you chose, titled Works Cited for MLA.
- **Tidy references.** Drafts written before this change may carry full references scattered through the text. Tidy references gathers them into the one section at the end.

## A larger daily allowance

- **Pro**: 500 AI messages a day, up from 50
- **Lab**: 1,500 AI messages a day, up from 150

The allowance is still shared across Ask Alfred, voice dictation, and rewriting or humanising text in a manuscript, and it still resets each day. With Alfred now on more of your pages, a long working day should rarely come near it.
