Spark Steward
The Steward sheet is Spark's conversation surface for filing relationship memory and drafting reviewed outreach.
What Steward is for
Steward is the fastest way to work with Spark. Instead of finding the right form, you can type or speak what happened and let Spark decide whether it should become a note, reminder, contact detail, important date, relationship, interaction, or draft.
The structured tables are still there, but they are Spark's filing cabinet more than the user's primary input method.
- Use global Steward for broad capture: "I met three people at the event tonight."
- Use contact-scoped Steward when the context belongs to one person.
- Use Steward from Today when you want to act on or explain a suggestion.
Text, voice, and images
You can type, speak, or attach an image when that is the easiest way to capture context. Voice is useful after a meeting or while walking out of an event. Images are useful when the relationship context is already in a screenshot, business card, invite, email signature, or handwritten note.
Spark may ask follow-up questions when the input is ambiguous. That is better than silently filing the wrong thing.
- Say what happened in normal language; you do not need to name the database field.
- Attach images when retyping would be annoying or error-prone.
- If Spark asks a clarifying question, answer with the missing fact rather than starting over.
Tool cards and approvals
When Spark takes an action, it shows a tool card summarizing what it filed or drafted. Destructive or sensitive operations require explicit confirmation, and supported actions include undo for a short window.
This visibility is important. Spark should be helpful, but every AI action needs to be understandable and auditable.
- Review tool cards before moving on.
- Use undo when a filed note, reminder, or detail is wrong.
- Expect explicit confirmation for destructive changes.
Drafting and reviewed outreach
Steward can draft texts and emails, including revisions to Today suggestions. It can use contact notes, relationship history, About Me context, channel preferences, and your edits to get closer to your voice.
Spark never sends outreach by itself. Drafts open in a reviewed flow, and you decide whether to edit, send, dismiss, or ask for a different version.
- Ask for a draft when you know the intent but do not want to start from a blank page.
- Regenerate with specific direction, such as "warmer," "shorter," or "mention the conference."
- Dismiss or reject drafts that are wrong so Spark learns from the miss.
Good prompts
The best Steward prompts include the fact, the person, and what should happen next. They do not need to be polished.
If you are not sure what should happen, say that too. Spark can help turn rough context into a reminder, note, or draft, but it should not invent facts you did not provide.
- "Log that I called Jordan today. He is moving offices in August and I should check in next month."
- "Add Maya's husband Alex and note that their daughter starts kindergarten this fall."
- "Draft a quick email to Priya thanking her for the referral, but keep it low-key."
