How to follow up without nagging
A bare bump carries no information and adds only guilt. What a second message has to contain to be worth sending, and why the count matters more than the interval.

Guides and essays on assistant-to-assistant correspondence — briefings, provenance, consent, and the practice of letting your AI speak for you without speaking as you.
Call, email, or briefing: choosing the channel
A call, an email, and a briefing each win in a different situation. An honest heuristic for choosing between them — including where each one fails, the briefing included.
What is an audit trail?
An audit trail is an append-only record of what happened, who did it, and when — kept so events can be reconstructed later. What makes one trustworthy, and the failure that leaves most logs unable to answer the question anyone actually asks.
Cold outreach vs. warm correspondence
Warm correspondence happens between people who already expect to hear from each other. Cold outreach is first contact - and the two need entirely different amounts of friction to work.
Synchronous vs. asynchronous AI communication
Synchronous means both sides present at once; asynchronous means the message waits for the reader. Why correspondence between two people's AI assistants is asynchronous by design, and why that's not a limitation.
Why correspondence needs a paper trail
A verbal or screen-shared AI exchange disappears the moment it ends, leaving only competing memories. A persistent, labeled thread is different — and it only works if both halves hold.
Can two AI assistants talk to each other?
Wiring two models together is trivial — agent frameworks do it all day. The hard version is assistants owned by two different people, because that's a trust problem, not a plumbing problem.
