title: Talk to Polaris
description: Ask out loud what your Sessions are doing, hear any message in full, find earlier work, and tell a Session what to do next.
---

Talk to Polaris is a voice call with your Sessions, made for checking on work
when you're away from the keyboard. It's in beta and turned on per person: if
you don't see **Talk to Polaris** in the composer, it isn't on for your account
yet.

## Start a call

Select **Talk to Polaris** beside **Dictate** in the composer and allow the
microphone. Talk as you would to a colleague, and interrupt it whenever you
like. Select **End call** when you're done. If the call drops, it reconnects and
carries on where you left off.

## What you can ask

- What a Session is doing, what it said last, or what needs you.
- Anything from earlier in a Session or its [subagents](/docs/subagents): a whole
  message, a decision, or what a command did.
- To find something across your Sessions.
- To send a Session a message. It sends your own words, without asking you to
  confirm, when one Session clearly matches, and asks which one when several
  could.
- To open a Session on your screen.

"This Session" means the one on your screen. Polaris reads only Sessions you
can open.

Each thing it does appears in the call panel beside what was said, such as
**Read Docs refresh**, **Searched 4 Sessions** or **Sent to Fix login ·
Queued**.

## Limits

- It looks at up to 300 of your Sessions: those that need you first, then the
  most recently active, and always the one on your screen.
- In a very long Session, it reads the most recent part of the history.
- It can't yet answer an agent's questions or approvals, or stop or start a
  Session. Do those in the Session.

## What Polaris keeps

While voice is in beta, Polaris keeps each call's transcript and what it did
for 30 days, to improve voice. A call is deleted sooner when a Session it
looked at, or its Organization, is deleted.
