# Lucy AI: Your In-Simulation Coach

> Get personalized coaching, strategic reflection, and next-step guidance from Lucy AI — your meta-level advisor built into the Nebula workspace.

Lucy AI is your personal coach inside the Nebula workspace. Unlike the AI personas you interact with through email and chat — who play roles within the fiction of your scenario — Lucy operates at a higher level. She is not a character in the simulation; she is an advisor who can see the full picture of your session and help you think more clearly about what you are doing and why.

Use Lucy when you want perspective, when you feel uncertain about your next move, or when you want to reflect on a decision you have already made.

<Note>
  Lucy is aware of your session context, including your scenario, your role, your decisions, and your current progress. The coaching she provides is personalized to your specific situation — not generic advice.

## Lucy and Mission Control awareness

Lucy's insights are surfaced in the Awareness section of Mission Control under **Lucy AI**. This panel shows:

* **Reflection** — a summary of how your session is going and what your choices reveal
* **Blind spots** — specific areas or considerations you may not have addressed yet
* **Next steps** — concrete, prioritized recommendations for moving forward

You do not need to open a Lucy conversation to see these insights — they update automatically as your session progresses.

## Starting a conversation with Lucy

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Lucy AI">
    Select Lucy AI from your workspace desktop or navigate to it from the Mission Control Awareness panel.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start a new conversation">
    Create a new conversation. You can give it a title to help organize multiple sessions with Lucy, or leave the title blank.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send your message">
    Type your message and send it. Messages support up to 12,000 characters, so you can share as much context as you need. Lucy responds with personalized coaching based on your session.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Continue the thread">
    Each conversation keeps its full history. You can return to any past conversation to continue where you left off, or start a new conversation for a different topic.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Managing conversations

Lucy supports multiple named conversations so you can organize your coaching sessions by topic or phase. For example, you might have one conversation focused on stakeholder strategy and another on how to approach a particular decision checkpoint.

Your conversation history is preserved for the duration of your session.

<Tip>
  If you feel stuck or are not sure what to do next in your simulation, open Lucy and ask directly. Describe where you are and what is unclear — Lucy will give you actionable guidance grounded in your specific scenario context.

## Lucy vs. persona chat

It is worth understanding the distinction between Lucy and the AI personas you interact with elsewhere in your workspace:

|                  | Lucy AI                        | Persona chat                                |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------- |
| Role             | Meta-level coach               | Character in the simulation                 |
| Awareness        | Full session context           | Character's in-world perspective            |
| Purpose          | Reflection, strategy, guidance | Relationship building, information exchange |
| Affects scenario | No — coaching only             | Yes — responses can advance the simulation  |
