Open Issues

Long-running concerns. Weeks and months, not minutes.

Most AI forgets the moment you close the chat. Ayven maintains persistent organizational concerns—monitoring market changes, tracking strategic questions, improving processes continuously. Issues that matter don't disappear after one conversation.

Issue Types

Different concerns need different handling. Ayven categorizes and executes appropriately:

  • Monitoring — Track competitors, markets, or technologies over time
  • Recurring Review — Weekly standups, monthly reports, quarterly planning
  • Strategic Question — Big decisions that need ongoing research
  • Knowledge Gap — Areas where the team needs to build understanding
  • Continuous Improvement — Process refinement cycles
  • Iterative Project — Multi-phase initiatives that evolve over months
  • Compliance Cycle — Regulatory requirements and governance rhythms
  • Maintenance Routine — Regular upkeep tasks that need tracking

Research vs Documentation Balance

Each issue has a bias toward gathering information or persisting it. Ayven adapts its behavior:

95% Research Early exploration—gather broadly, document little
50/50 Balanced—findings worth capturing
75% Docs Mature issue—mostly formalizing knowledge

Confidence-Based Execution

Ayven knows when it's sure and when it's not. Behavior changes accordingly:

  • High confidence — Share findings directly, create public docs
  • Medium confidence — Propose actions, request approval first
  • Low confidence — Draft only, keep private, ask questions

Human Input When Needed

When Ayven gets stuck or needs direction, it doesn't spin. It asks:

  • Blockers detected — Issue pauses, notifies you
  • Question routed — Specific request sent via Slack
  • Response captured — Your answer feeds back into the issue
  • Work resumes — Automatically continues with new context

Issue Lifecycle

1

Open

Actively working—research, documentation, actions in progress

2

Paused

Blocked waiting for input, or circuit-broken after repeated failures

3

Closed

Goal achieved—but may reopen if conditions change

Issues that persist. Knowledge that compounds.

Stop losing context between conversations.
