AI-Native LabOS Basics
Understand the shared dashboard shell, page-aware Ask TARE, voice controls, and confirmation model.
TARE is designed to feel like one operating system for the lab, not a pile of disconnected modules. Every dashboard page now exposes consistent route context, breadcrumbs, primary actions, Ask TARE affordances, and voice prompts.
Ask TARE is page-aware
The assistant understands whether you are viewing inventory, locations, scan intake, notebook, or settings and suggests actions for that surface.
Voice remains opt-in
Enable voice-first LabOS in Preferences. TARE does not surprise-start microphone listening before permission and explicit opt-in.
Core operating surfaces
- Dashboard Home: command-center overview, active context, hazards, and quick action state.
- Inventory: Add Item, Scan Intake, Import, Locations, and Reconcile entry points.
- Locations: hierarchy, containment, assigned-item counts, deletion blockers, and next-step guidance.
- Scan Intake: photo, video, and manual intake with retryable evidence finalization.
- Notebook: AI-native workspace for entries, data lake references, templates, and audit-safe records.
Safety model
Voice and AI can help draft, navigate, and fill forms, but high-risk mutations such as deletion, inventory adjustment, location moves, scan finalization, custody, and signatures require explicit confirmation.
