Once Rilo starts a task, you don’t have to wait in silence. You can send follow-up messages at any point — in the same Slack channel or thread — and Rilo will pick them up.

​
Adding Context

If you remember something relevant after the task starts, just say it:
Rilo incorporates the new information without restarting. The additional context flows into the work that’s still in progress.

​
Changing Direction

If you want to shift what Rilo is focusing on:
Rilo will acknowledge the change and adjust.

​
Checking Status

If you want to know where things stand:
Rilo will give you a quick update on what it’s done so far and what’s left.

​
Stopping a Task

If you no longer need the task completed, tell Rilo to stop:
Rilo will stop as soon as it reaches a safe stopping point. Depending on where the task is, this may take a moment — it won’t stop mid-action in a way that could leave something in a broken state.

​
A Note on Timing

Rilo checks for your messages at natural pause points in its work, not continuously mid-action. If it’s in the middle of a multi-step operation, your message will be picked up at the next break. For most tasks this happens quickly — typically within seconds to a minute.
