Daily Streaks
Your AI workforce is only as good as the boss managing it. Streaks track the weekdays you show up, review work, and steer your employees, and award a badge at each milestone along the way.
Opening the workspace on a weekday counts toward your streak, no chat or task required, just showing up to review work, give feedback, or check in on your employees. Weekends are yours: they're tracked for your stats but never extend or break a streak.
Miss a weekday and the streak resets, so it stays an honest signal of how consistently you're actually running the business rather than a number that inflates itself. Hit a milestone and you earn a badge that stays on your profile for good.
There is nothing to press. The first page you open on a given day is what records the day, and opening the app again later that same day changes nothing, so the count cannot be inflated by refreshing. If the streak update itself ever hits a problem, your visit carries on exactly as normal and the app never stops on account of a counter, because a scoreboard should never be able to get between you and your work.
The point of tracking this at all is that an AI workforce quietly stops delivering when nobody is steering it. Employees keep running and tasks keep completing, and nobody notices for two weeks that the output drifted from what the business actually needed. The streak makes an absent fortnight visible while it is still easy to fix.
Milestones are earned once for the lifetime of the account, so a reset never puts a badge back on the table. That is a deliberate choice rather than a limitation. A reward you can farm by resetting and rebuilding is a game, and the number stops meaning anything the moment it can be played. Earning each badge exactly once keeps your profile an honest record of what you have actually sustained.
When a milestone carries credits, those credits arrive immediately and leave a trail: a notification in your bell, a line in your credit history alongside every other grant, and an email confirming it. You never have to claim anything, and you can go back later and see exactly when each one landed.
Milestones And Badges
The ladder runs Walking the Floor at two days (badge only), In Every 1:1 at five days (250 credits), Hands-On Boss at seven days (500 credits), Active Operator at fourteen days (750 credits), and Founder Mode at thirty days (1,000 credits). Every earned badge stays on your profile permanently, even after a later streak reset, so the history of what you have hit never disappears.
Your profile also shows the badge and day count for the next milestone still ahead of you, along with how many more weekdays of activity you need to reach it. Once every milestone on the ladder has been earned, that forward-looking marker simply stops showing, since there is nothing left to work toward.
Where You See It
A compact pill in the app header shows your current streak count at a glance from anywhere in the workspace. Your profile page has the full picture: a ring showing today's progress, a Monday-to-Sunday week strip marking which days you showed up, your longest streak on record, your lifetime active-day total, and the full milestone roadmap with earned badges and credits paid to date.
Nothing about the streak requires setup. It starts tracking from your very first login, and a brand-new account shows a clean zero-state card rather than nothing at all, so there is never a question of whether the feature is turned on for you.
On Your Phone As Well As Your Desk
Plenty of check-ins happen on a phone between other things, so the streak has to work there too. The full milestone roadmap becomes a single rail you swipe sideways on a small screen, with every milestone still on it and the labels wrapping rather than being cut short. Nothing is hidden or collapsed away on mobile just because the screen is narrower.
That matters more than it sounds, because a visit is a visit. Opening the workspace on your phone on a Tuesday counts exactly the same as opening it on a laptop, so a day spent away from your desk does not quietly cost you a streak you have been building for weeks.
How It Works
Every weekday visit is checked against your last active day and either extends, resets, or starts your streak
The first time you open the workspace on a given calendar day, that visit is recorded and checked against your streak. If your last active weekday was the prior workday, your current streak count goes up by one. If it was earlier than that, the streak resets to one, this visit becomes day one again. Later visits on the same day do not re-trigger anything, so there is no way to game the count by refreshing the page.
Weekday math treats Friday and the following Monday as consecutive, since the two weekend days in between are not workdays and were never expected to have activity. A visit on Saturday or Sunday is still logged, it counts toward your lifetime total-active-days and shows on the week strip on your profile, but it does not extend or reset the streak either way.
Each time your current streak crosses a milestone threshold, the system checks it against the milestones you have already earned for your account. A milestone can only be earned once, ever, so hitting five days a second time after a reset does not pay out again. Milestones that carry a credit reward grant the credits to your account's owner tenant immediately, with a bell notification and an entry on your Credit Usage page; the two-day badge is recognition only and carries no credit value.
Use Cases
Building the habit of actually running your AI employees
A founder who hires an AI employee and never checks back in is the most common way an AI workforce stops delivering. The streak turns that daily check-in into something visible and worth keeping alive, so reviewing work and steering employees becomes a habit rather than something that quietly lapses after week one.
Earning free credits just for staying engaged
A user who logs in and reviews their team's work most weekdays earns real credit grants along the way, up to 2,500 credits across the five milestones, without buying a top-up or upgrading a plan. It rewards the exact behavior, consistent oversight, that makes the rest of the platform work better.
Seeing at a glance whether you have been an absent boss
The week strip and longest-streak number on the profile page give an honest read on your own consistency: a string of gaps is a signal to get back in and steer, not just a vanity number. Because weekends are excluded from the streak math, the number reflects actual workday engagement, not padded weekend logins.
Keeping the habit alive across a week away from your desk
Travel, client days, and back to back meetings are exactly when oversight slips. Because any visit counts and the phone view carries the whole roadmap, a two minute look at what your employees produced keeps both the streak and the oversight intact on the days you have no time for anything longer.
Comparison
| Before | After |
| Whether you have actually been steering your AI workforce this month is a feeling rather than a number. | A weekday streak, a longest run on record, and a lifetime active day count give you an honest read at a glance. |
| A quiet weekend looks exactly the same as a fortnight of nobody checking anything. | Weekends are logged for your stats but never extend or break a streak, so the number tracks workdays only. |
| Staying on top of your workforce earns you nothing beyond the work getting done. | Crossing a milestone grants credits to your account with a notification, an email, and a permanent badge on your profile. |
| Any habit tracker asks you to remember to log the thing you were already too busy to do. | The first page you open on a given day counts it for you, with nothing to press and nothing to configure. |
FAQ
Does every visit to the app count, or only certain actions?
Any visit to your workspace on a weekday counts, whether you send a message, review a task, or just check in on an employee. There is no requirement to complete a task or send a chat message; simply being present and looking at your business is the behavior being tracked.
What happens to my streak on weekends?
Weekend visits are tracked for your lifetime total-active-days stat and show on your week strip, but they never extend your streak and they never break it. Your streak only checks weekday activity, so a Friday visit followed by a Monday visit continues the count as if no days were missed.
Do I lose my badges if my streak resets?
No. Once a milestone is earned it stays on your account permanently, even if you later miss a weekday and your current streak drops back to zero. Only the current streak count resets; your milestone history and any credits already paid out are untouched.
Can I earn the same milestone credits twice?
No. Each milestone on the ladder pays out once per account for the lifetime of that account. If you hit a five-day streak, reset, and later hit five days again, the credits for that milestone were already paid the first time and will not be granted a second time.
Do I have to click anything to record my streak for the day?
No. The first page you open in your workspace on a given day records that day automatically, with nothing to press and nothing to set up. Opening the app again later the same day does not change your count, so the streak reflects days you were present rather than how many times you refreshed.
Where do the milestone credits show up once I earn them?
Milestone credits are added to your workspace balance immediately and are recorded in your credit history alongside every other grant, such as referrals and promotions. You also get a notification in your bell and a confirmation email, so you can see exactly when each milestone paid out without hunting for it.
Does the streak roadmap work on my phone?
Yes. On a small screen the milestone roadmap becomes a single rail you swipe sideways, with every milestone still shown and the labels wrapping instead of being cut off. A visit from your phone counts toward your streak exactly the same as a visit from a laptop.
Where Daily Streaks fits
Daily Streaks is part of Where their work lives.
Your AI agents manage their own workspace. Scheduled tasks run daily, weekly, or on custom cron cadences. A built-in kanban board tracks what is in progress. Every document lands in a personal Drive. A daily work journal logs decisions, outcomes, and next steps automatically.

More in Workspace
- Move a Team Member to the Bench: Every workspace has one Bench: a holding area for employees who are not currently on a working team. Remove someone from a team, or delete the team itself, and they land back on the Bench automatically, fully intact and ready to be reassigned. Nothing about them is deleted; only their team membership changes.
- Task Board: A kanban board that tracks what every AI employee is working on, in Backlog, To Do, In Progress, and Done columns. Employees create their own task cards when they do real work, and you can create cards to assign work directly. View it per employee, per team, or company-wide, and it updates live as work moves.
- Set Your Employee's Working Hours: Set how often each employee checks its board and acts on its own, from every 5 minutes up to monthly, without you asking each time. New hires start with a default hourly check-in that you can tighten, stretch, or turn into a specific daily time. The employee pauses itself automatically when there is nothing to do, it is onboarding, or credits run out, and picks back up on its own once that clears.
- Work Journal: Every employee keeps a dated journal of what it did, decided, and got stuck on, written as it works, not after the fact. Open it from the employee's, team's, or organization's Drive tab to see a day's entries without reading the chat transcript. Entries carry a category (task completed, observation, decision, blocker, learning, or handoff) so you can scan for what changed. It starts on hire with nothing to configure.
- Task Comments: Comment directly on a task, Drive file, sprint, CRM contact, or notification, and @mention the person, team, or AI employee who should act on it. The mention lands as a bell notification for a person or a direct work request for an employee, both replying in the same thread. Turn any comment into a tracked task in one click, so feedback never gets lost in a side channel.
- CRM: Every business runs on a CRM, the shared book of the people and companies it deals with. Sistava builds one in, and your AI employees run it for you. They add a prospect the moment one comes up, keep contacts current, open deals and move them down the pipeline as they progress, and write notes so nothing is forgotten. You get one clean place to see who you know, what's in flight, and what it's worth, without paying for a separate CRM.
- Sales Pipeline: Your deals live on a pipeline board, the same shape as your task board: a column for every stage, New, Screening, Meeting, Proposal, Customer, and a card for each deal showing its value and the company behind it. As a deal gets closer to won, it moves down the board. Your AI employees keep the pipeline current, opening deals, moving stages, and updating amounts, so you always know what's in flight and what it's worth, at a glance.
- Let Your Employee Use Any Desktop App: Your employee controls your actual desktop, not just a browser tab. It clicks, types, manages files, and runs terminal commands in real applications on your machine, the same way you would sitting at the keyboard. It works through the free Desktop Companion app and covers native software, file management, and shell tasks in one capability.
- Let Your Employee Work with Local Files: Connect the Desktop Companion app and your employee can read, write, list, and search files on your own computer, scoped to your home directory. Ask it to open a config, tidy a folder, or find every CSV in a project, and it works the files directly instead of asking you to paste their contents into chat.
- Let Your Employee Run Terminal Commands: Once you pair the Sista desktop app, your employee can run real shell commands on your machine: git, npm, brew, ls, grep, and anything else you'd type yourself. Commands run as your own user with no privilege escalation, and a hard-coded blocklist rejects destructive patterns like rm -rf /, disk formatting, or piping a remote script into a shell before they ever execute.
- Let Your Employee See Your Screen: Your employee looks at your actual screen and works from what it sees, not just an API. It captures your desktop through the Sista desktop app, reads the pixels the same way you would, and can click, type, and scroll based on what it finds. That covers any app you have open, including native software, dashboards, and design tools that never had an integration.
- Employee Drive: Every document, generated image, video, screenshot, and daily work log an employee produces lands automatically in its Drive, no saving required. Browse it per employee, per team, or company-wide, as a searchable flat grid or as folders. Files preview inline, from PDFs and spreadsheets to code and video, so you rarely need to download something just to read it. Every update becomes a numbered version that you can preview or restore without losing the original file.
