Connect Your AI ClientWhat This Command Does
Managers and administrators use this command to get a real-time status snapshot of their workforce without opening the DeskMonitor dashboard. It is the most-used morning routine command — ask it first thing to see who is active, what the current hours tally is, and whether any alerts need attention.

Use when a user wants a quick overview of current workforce status, active employees, and key metrics.
