Dashboard Basics
Your Pithy dashboard brings together all your information panels in one place.

Main area is a flexible grid where your panels and the assistant live.
Edit Mode

- Move panels by dragging their headers
- Resize panels by dragging the orange handle (bottom-right corner)
- Delete panels via the panel’s delete button
Click Done Editing to save your layout and exit edit mode.
Panel Behaviour
Hover expansion: If a panel’s content overflows, hovering over it briefly expands it so you can see more.
Auto-refresh: Panels can refresh automatically at intervals you set (e.g., every 5 minutes).
Live updates: Some changes (like new emails) appear in real-time via WebSocket connection. The lightning bolt icon in the header shows connection status.
Panel Controls
Hover over a panel to see its controls:
- Refresh - Fetch latest content
- Settings - Edit panel configuration
- Delete - Remove from dashboard (in edit mode)
Tips
- Put your most-used panels in prominent positions (top-left is where eyes go first)
- Use different panel sizes: small for quick glances (weather), larger for content that needs space (email)
- The assistant panel can answer questions about your other panels’ content
