Radar briefings and morning briefs: your AI day-opener

What Current's AI reads overnight, what it writes for project managers and for sellers, when each piece refreshes, and how to act on it.

AI is built into the platform. There is no add-on licence and nothing to enable. While you're asleep, Current reads your portfolio and your book and writes two different briefings: Radar, for the people delivering the work, and the morning brief, for the people selling it. Both are grounded in records you can click through to. Neither one changes a record for you, no opportunity stage moves, no ticket closes, no task reschedules, no customer email.

Radar, for project managers and engineers

Every night, Current looks at each active project's real signal, its tasks and tickets (including their descriptions, notes, and resolutions), recent comments, the notes people wrote on their time entries, and the project's health factors, and produces three things: a short status summary written to be skimmed in seconds, a trend (improving, stable, or worsening), and a list of concrete risks ordered most severe first. It only asks the AI again when something on the project changed since the last read, so a quiet project keeps its last overview.

A finished task closes the risks its own notes raised. If a task's notes said a cancellation was unconfirmed and the task is now done, with a time entry saying it was confirmed, the risk goes away. It only stays when something written after that says the problem is still open.

Each risk carries a severity, a plain-language note on the likely impact, and (this is the part that matters) an evidence line naming the specific task, ticket, comment, or metric it came from. A risk with no real record behind it doesn't get written.

You'll meet Radar in two places. On My Day it's the dark band across the top: the three highest-severity risks across your own projects as cards, tiered ACT NOW / WATCH / NOTED, with the rest a click away in a drawer. The project chips in the band filter the work queue below them, so you can go from "what's on fire" to "the rows it lands on" without leaving the page. On a project's overview, Health brings that project's assessment and risks together with its live Current Score. See "My Day: your personal cockpit."

Read Health on a project overview

Health shows the live Current Score beside Current’s read, the latest AI assessment and its date. Read full summary opens the complete assessment. What to fix combines score deductions with AI risks, with the first three items shown initially. Choose Show more for the rest, or open a risk row to read its full impact and evidence.

  1. 1
    Open task
    When a risk is about one task, Open task opens that task in the drawer so you can act on it right away.
  2. 2
    Dismiss
    If a risk isn't real, press Dismiss. It leaves the overview for everyone, including the digest emails, and Current won't raise it again unless something new is written about it. Undo puts it back.
  3. 3
    Refresh
    Anyone working on the project can press Refresh to have Current read it again now. Each person gets 10 refreshes a day, the button shows how many are left, and they reset at midnight in your workspace's time zone. The nightly read doesn't count against them, and a press within two minutes of the last read just shows the latest one without using a refresh.
Note
Radar hides itself when it has nothing to say
If your projects genuinely have no risks worth raising, the band disappears rather than manufacturing something to fill the space. An empty Radar is good news, not a broken feature.

The project digest email

You don't have to open the app to hear about trouble. Each morning, Current sends one email per person covering only the projects they're assigned to that are actually going wrong, an AI trend of worsening, a high-severity risk, slipping dates, over budget, or a poor health score. One email with a section per project, not a fragment per risk.

"Assigned" means the same thing it means on My Day: project lead, task assignee, or the linked primary or secondary PSA resource. If none of your projects are worsening, you get no email. That's the design. Weekends are skipped entirely, and it respects your at-risk alert preference, turn the at-risk event off (account menu → Notifications), and it stops. See "Notifications in Current: the bell, email, and Teams."

Note
Offboarded people stop getting it
Disabling a member in Users & roles is the offboarding switch, and the digest now follows it. A disabled member is dropped from the nightly email, so project names, risk summaries, overdue counts and health scores stop going to their old address. Nobody else's digest changes.

The morning brief, for sellers

Sellers get a different artefact, composed from the same night's work: a two-column brief on Sales home. The left column is opportunities to move on; the right is accounts needing attention. Each bullet carries its evidence and links straight to the company or the opportunity it came from. Sales managers get a third element, a short team summary with each rep's pace, open pipeline, and at-risk account count.

Accounts needing attention are listed per customer. When a customer's sites form a customer group, its at-risk sites appear as one bullet naming the group and linking to its page, and the team summary counts that customer once. See "Customer groups: one customer with several sites".

Ticking a bullet off marks it done for today (a personal view preference, not an action on the record). Refreshing the card regenerates your brief and brings every bullet back. The same composed brief is what gets emailed. The in-app card and the email can never disagree, because there's exactly one of them.

Note
Turning the emailed brief off
Open the account menu → Notifications, and under Sales switch off "Morning sales brief." That stops the email only: the brief card stays on Sales home, and the rest of your Current email keeps arriving. The other Sales switches cover lead, opportunity and campaign alerts. They never governed the brief, so turning those off on their own leaves it coming.

The sales coach tile

Alongside the brief sits a small set of coaching insights, and its architecture is worth understanding because it explains why it stays useful. Deterministic rules find the candidates; the AI only ranks and phrases them. Eight kinds today:

  • Stale opportunity, an open opportunity with no logged activity for more than 14 days, weighted by amount.
  • Opportunity risk, an open opportunity past its projected close date, or sitting in a stage more than twice that pipeline's median opportunity duration, or, when the pipeline has too little history to compute a median, more than 30 days.
  • Renewal risk, a renewal opportunity whose contract ends within 45 days with nothing logged in the last 14.
  • Whitespace pitch. A customer missing an offering that similar customers hold, scored by what it's worth. See "The whitespace grid: find every cross-sell gap."
  • Partner pulse. A sustained, multi-signal drop across the last 14 days against the account's own baseline: the account has gone quiet.
  • Champion risk. The relationship runs almost entirely through one contact and that contact has stopped answering; urgent when a renewal is close.
  • Stale thread. You emailed and nobody replied for five business days on an open opportunity.
  • Afterglow. A healthy project just finished, so the moment to pitch the next step is now.

The cap is the point: no more than three active insights per seller per day, and a dismissed insight stays quiet for three weeks. It writes nothing to your PSA, and it never messages a customer. The insights show on Sales home, and the same bullets feed your morning brief (in-app and the Mon/Wed email). One kind (champion risk) also drops a multi-thread to-do on your CRM task list, which syncs to Microsoft To Do if you have that connected. Too much noise and people stop looking, and a coach nobody reads is worse than no coach.

When each piece refreshes

BriefingRefreshesRefresh it yourself
Radar (project insights)NightlyRefresh in the project's Health card: anyone working on the project, 10 times a day each, at most once every couple of minutes.
Project digest emailEach weekday morning, with a later backstop pass if the first one hits an email outageNot manually sendable. It follows the nightly read.
Company AI readMonday and WednesdayRefresh from the company record, throttled to once every couple of minutes.
Morning briefComposed daily; emailed Monday and WednesdayThe refresh control on the brief card, throttled to once every couple of minutes.
Sales coach insightsMonday and WednesdaySales leadership can trigger a refresh; throttled to once every five minutes.

The exact clock for all of these (and for every integration sync underneath them) is in "How often does Current sync? Every schedule, in one table."

What it reads

  • PSA tickets, projects, tasks, and contracts or agreements, as synced into Current (fresh to within one poll cycle).
  • Your synced Microsoft 365 email threads and meetings with known CRM contacts.
  • CRM activity notes, opportunities, and their renewal-defence scores.
  • CrewHu satisfaction scores, when connected.
  • The nightly signal ledger, the deterministic daily counts of tickets opened, meetings, hours logged, seats, and Current Score.
Tip
Most nights, most of this costs nothing to run
Before calling the AI, Current fingerprints exactly what the model would see. If nothing meaningful changed since the last read, it skips the call and keeps the existing write-up rather than paying to regenerate an identical one. That's why a quiet project's summary can be a few days old and still be correct, and why a busy one is always current.
Heads up
The AI proposes; a person decides
No briefing ever changes an opportunity stage, closes a ticket, reschedules a task, or emails a customer. Everything it drafts (a plan, a message, a sequence, a review) waits for a human to approve it. If you see the AI claim something, you can click through to the record it read.
