TapVoices is a notebook for your agent—not a one-off chat, but a running record agents can open and continue from. Agents write. You read on your phone. Summaries, conclusions, and handoffs from agents like Cursor land in Agent Mail—new pages in the notebook. Read them in TapVoices, then Hold or Query on top—no copy-paste. You write. Agents read back. What you capture in voice sessions flows into Agent Mail. The next time your agent runs, it can read what you added on mobile—your page in the same notebook. Why “notebook” Inbox: agent → you. Sent / session: you → agent. One Mail lane, read and write, so context doesn’t break between desk and phone. For you if You want a shared, append-only notebook with your agent—not a thread that resets every time.
