Inoscope Operator (Bee) ​

Bee is Inoscope's AI operator: it runs assessment pipelines, extracts and prices line items, writes reports, answers questions against your files, and edits anything it created — while showing its thinking, its tool calls and its mistakes. Bee is rebuilt (3.6.0) for steadier, more focused work on long jobs.

Opening Bee ​

  • The bubble bottom-right docks Bee beside whatever you're doing; the dock/float buttons switch layouts.
  • Run in the assessment header hands Bee the next pipeline step.
  • Bee also lives in the Files tab, the Records tab and Pulse projects (3.5.0), with a dedicated Chat tab on mobile.
  • The header shows what Bee is following — the open assessment, file and page — so answers stay in context as you move around.

Bee docked beside a tender assessment — history with user messages, collapsible thinking/tool-call sections, surfaced errors, report UIDs, and the input bar with attachments, voice and ghost suggestions

  1. Header — Bee, the session context, and controls: dock/float, conversation history, clear, copy, minimise.
  2. Honest activity — tool calls and thinking steps collapse into one-line summaries; failures are surfaced verbatim (red), never hidden.
  3. Your messages — teal bubbles with timestamps.
  4. Bee's replies — with file links (toolbox-talk-v10.pdf) and inline warnings.
  5. Jumpable references — Report UIDs and file UIDs open straight into the app.
  6. Input bar — attach files, use voice, accept ghost suggestions (inline completions while you type, since 3.5.4), Tab to accept, send.

Full chat history — prior Bee messages, pagination and continued context

The full-history view is useful when a long assessment session has been collapsed or resumed. It shows the prior message count, continued context, message contents and page controls without losing the active assessment.

What Bee Can Do ​

  • Run pipelines — damage detection, scoping, extraction, costing — inside your chat session so you can follow along and step in.
  • Edit line items — create, price, re-margin, regroup; every change gets a dedicated review step before it lands (3.5.7), and Bee validates its own edits (alpha).
  • Measure — take off quantities from drawings and cite them on line items.
  • Reports — generate, render to PDF, and re-render ("just report success or failure" works too).
  • Files & records — search indexed content (PDFs, Word, Excel, .msg, .rtf, DWG/DXF, zips), summarise, and answer against it.
  • Plans & tasks — Bee shows its plan and task progress right in the session (3.5.2), with richer step-by-step detail while it runs.

Conversation Tools ​

ToolWhat It Does
HistoryBee loads earlier messages when you return, so you continue where you left off (3.6.4)
Rewindlong-press one of your own messages to roll the chat back to that point and take a new direction (3.6.2)
Queued messages (Beta)write now, send when the moment is right — behind file indexing or on a delay (3.6.5)
Ghost suggestionsgrey completions in the input; Tab accepts
Attachmentsdrop files straight into the chat; Bee indexes and cites them
Voicedictate; recordings transcribe and join the session
MemoryBee reads your user, company and assessment memories on every run

Extending Bee: MCP Servers ​

Connect your own Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers at user or company level and Bee gains your tools and integrations (3.5.0). Manage them under Settings → MCP Servers — see Settings.

Good Habits ​

  • Say what good looks like: "price this as provisional", "report success or failure".
  • Queue messages behind uploads so Bee acts the second files are ready.
  • Rewind instead of re-explaining when a direction goes wrong.
  • Watch the review step — Bee gives its own edits a second look; you get the final say.
