Skava Skava / Wiki

Navigation and Structure

Skava has the same structure on every device. Once you understand how the app is divided into fixed areas, you'll find your way around the web app and mobile app immediately — and in your team, everyone will refer to the same place when talking about "Chats" or "Tasks".

The Four Tab Areas

In the mobile app, the main navigation is fixed at the bottom as a tab bar. It has four areas that you can switch between anytime with a tap. Everything else happens within these areas.

  • Skava — the AI assistant. Here you ask questions about your projects, get summaries, or prepare text.
  • Tasks — "My Tasks": everything assigned to you, plus time tracking for clocking in and out.
  • Chats — projects, subchats, and direct messages. This is where everyday communication happens.
  • Profile — your profile and status, your companies, and app settings.

Good to know: "Companies" is not a separate tab; it's located in the Profile area. You can also access app settings via the gear icon in the top right of Profile.

The Skava AI Assistant

The first tab — Skava — is the built-in AI assistant. It understands the context of your projects and helps with typical office tasks: summarizing messages, drafting a reply, verifying an address, preparing an email, or listing open items. The assistant doesn't replace chat; it enhances it — you record a voice memo on the job site, and in the evening the assistant helps you turn it into a clean task or an invoice line item.

You use the assistant like you would a chat. At the bottom, you type your question in the field "Ask Skava..."; the blue arrow sends it. The header has four controls:

  • On the left is the menu icon — it opens the chat history with your previous conversations.
  • In the middle is the project selector — here you specify which project your question relates to.
  • On the right is the microphone icon to speak your question instead of typing.
  • The plus icon starts a new, blank conversation.

Instead of just answering, the assistant often suggests several specific actions and asks which ones you'd like to take.

Tap the menu icon at the top left to open the chat history. It shows all your previous conversations with the assistant, each with the timestamp of the last message; the trash icon deletes a conversation, and the plus icon starts a new one. At the very top of the chat history is the entry Scheduled Tasks.

Scheduled Tasks are recurring instructions for the AI. You describe them in plain language — for example, "summarize my hours every evening at 7 PM" — and the assistant runs them automatically at the time you specify. If you haven't created any yet, the page explains with an example how to do it.

Web App and Mobile App

On desktop, the left sidebar is your main navigation. You see projects, subchats, and direct messages at a glance. Administrative tasks — managing members, setting up companies, reviewing many service items — are usually faster in the web app because more fields are visible at once.

Getting Started

If you're using Skava for the first time, this is the shortest sensible sequence:

  1. In Profile, set a profile picture and display name.
  2. In Chats, create your first project (button "Create Project").
  3. In the relevant subchat, send a message or voice memo.
  4. Under Tasks, check what's already assigned to you.

Rule of thumb: Stay in project context. What belongs to a project belongs in the corresponding subchat — not in a direct message.
