Hey Pact

Talk to Pact hands-free — ask about your pipeline, draft an email, book a meeting, and take it back if you change your mind.

Hey Pact is the assistant that listens in your browser. Say what you want in plain language; Pact works out which part of your workspace you mean, does it, and tells you what it did.

Starting it

Tap the mic in the corner. It opens right away, waits a moment for your first words, and re-arms after each answer — so you can keep talking without tapping again.

The microphone is only live while a conversation is open, and the indicator stays on screen the whole time. Tap it again, or press Esc, to switch it off.

Desktop: an optional wake phrase

If you'd rather not tap at all, turn on Wake mode in Settings → Voice (desktop only — mobile browsers can't run a background listener reliably, so this option isn't offered there). Once it's on, arm the listener and say "Hey Pact" before your request instead of tapping each time. It's off by default: an always-open microphone is a choice you opt into, not one Pact makes for you.

Things to try

Ask about your workspace

  • "What's my pipeline looking like?"
  • "What are my biggest deals?"
  • "Who works at Northwind?"
  • "Anything at risk this month?"

Get something done

  • "Draft a follow-up to Sam Reyes."
  • "Move the Northwind renewal to negotiation."
  • "Remind me to send the contract on Monday."
  • "Set up thirty minutes with Northwind tomorrow at two."
  • "Log a note on Northwind — they confirmed budget."

Change your mind

  • "Undo that."

Nothing is sent without your say-so

Anything that leaves your workspace or changes a record — an email, a meeting invite, a CRM edit — is read back to you first on a confirmation card. Nothing happens until you answer.

You can answer out loud ("yes" / "no"), or use the card:

  • Yes — go ahead.
  • Edit — reword the message first, then send.
  • Cancel — drop it.

Silence is a no

The card times out after 15 seconds and cancels itself. If you walk away, get interrupted, or the tab sleeps, nothing is sent. The safe outcome is always the default.

Emails and meeting invites are marked can't be undone on the card, because they can't be. CRM edits can — see below.

Pact asks rather than guesses

If you do not say who you mean, Pact asks. "Send a follow-up email" gets "Who should I send it to?" rather than a guess — and the confirmation card shows both the person's name and their email address, so you can tell two people with the same first name apart before you say yes.

Taking something back

Say "undo that" and Pact reverses the last change it made — the stage it moved, the field it set, the task it created. It restores the previous values and records the reversal in your audit log.

Some things cannot be undone, and Pact tells you so on the card before you confirm rather than after: an email that has already sent, a calendar invite that has already gone out.

When something isn't connected

Hey Pact only offers what your workspace can actually do. If email is not connected, asking it to send one gets an honest "Gmail isn't connected yet" and a link to set it up — not a failure halfway through.

Daily limits work the same way: if you have used up the day's sends, Pact says so up front and offers to schedule it for tomorrow, instead of asking you to confirm something it cannot deliver.

Your audio

Speech is captured in your browser and transcribed by your workspace's configured provider, starting only when you tap the mic (or, on desktop with Wake mode on, only after your device matches the wake phrase locally — nothing is streamed before that). Everything Hey Pact does is recorded in your workspace's audit log with its cost, so an admin can see what ran and what it spent.

On your phone

Everything above works on mobile — tap-to-talk, the same as desktop. Wake mode isn't available on phones (see the callout above), so what changes is how you get to the mic quickly.

The fastest way: your home screen

Install Pact to your home screen, then long-press the icon and pick Hey Pact. That is one gesture from anywhere.

On Android this is built in. On iOS, long-press shortcuts are not available for web apps, so use the Siri Shortcut below — it is better anyway, because it works without unlocking to the right screen.

iOS — "Hey Siri, Hey Pact"

Takes about thirty seconds, once:

  1. Open the Shortcuts app → + to create a new shortcut.
  2. Add the action Open URLs.
  3. Paste https://app.pact.place/hey.
  4. Tap the shortcut's name, rename it to Hey Pact, and tap Done.

Now say "Hey Siri, Hey Pact" from anywhere — the phone opens Pact and the listener is already armed, so you can talk straight away.

Why you build it rather than download it

Since iOS 15 a .shortcut file has to be signed by the device that made it, so a downloadable one either refuses to import or warns that it is untrusted. Four taps in the Shortcuts app is faster than working around that, and you can see exactly what it does.

Ask a question in one breath. Duplicate the shortcut, change the URL to include your question, and rename it — for example https://app.pact.place/hey?q=what%27s%20my%20pipeline named "Pipeline check", so "Hey Siri, pipeline check" opens Pact and asks.

Android — home-screen shortcut

In Chrome, open https://app.pact.place/hey, then ⋮ → Add to Home screen. Tapping that icon arms the listener.

If you use Tasker, there is a ready-made profile that responds to the spoken phrase "Hey Pact": download hey-pact.tasker.xml, then in Tasker go ☰ → Data → Restore → XML and pick the file. Edit the %HeyPactHost variable if your workspace is on a custom domain.

https://app.pact.place/hey is the whole mechanism — it works from the address bar, a bookmark, a Shortcut, a home-screen icon, or any automation tool that can open a URL. If you are not signed in it takes you through login first and arms afterwards.
