# Let Mida do it on the board

> Mida Autopilot works the board for you with its own cursor: it clicks, types and moves things the way you would, asks before anything that matters, and can undo the whole run in one click.

When you ask Mida how to do something in MockFlow, Mida can do it for you instead of only explaining. **Mida Autopilot** works the board with its own cursor, the way a person would:

- It clicks, types, drags and opens menus.
- It shows each step in the Mida panel as it goes.
- It asks before anything that matters, and the whole run can be undone in one click.

## Have Mida do a task

1. Open Mida and ask how to do something on the board, for example _How do I make these notes green?_
2. Under Mida's answer, click **Do it on the board**.
3. Watch the Mida cursor do the task. Each step appears in the Mida panel, with what was done next to it in grey.

When it finishes, Mida says what changed, how many steps it took and how long.

**Good things to ask for:**

- _Make these notes green_ or _Line these items up in a row_
- _Turn on the grid_ or _Change the board background_
- _Lock this frame_ or _Group these items_
- _Add a timer for 10 minutes_

**When the button appears:**

- Mida's answer explains how to do something in the app.
- Or Mida can't do what you asked from chat, but it can be done by working the board.

**When it doesn't appear:**

- For content Mida makes itself, such as a diagram, a mind map or a wireframe. Mida builds those directly.
- For anything about your account or payments.

## Use Mida in team chat

In [team chat](/docs/chat-with-your-team-on-a-board), mention **@mida** and Mida answers in the chat for everyone. It reads the conversation and the board, so you can ask about both. Some things to try:

**Show someone how**

- _@mida show me how to add a sticky note_. Mida answers in a sentence or two, with a **Show me** button under the reply. Whoever clicks it watches Mida do the task on their own screen.
- _@mida show @Ana how to export this board as a PDF_. Mida mentions Ana so she gets a notification, and she clicks **Show me** when she is ready.

**Ask what an app or game holds**

- _@mida who is leading in this game?_ Mida reads the game's saved scores and turns, matches them to the people on the board and answers with names.
- _@mida how did the team vote in the poll?_ or _@mida which option won the test?_
- _@mida what's left on the tracker?_

Mida reads the full saved data before it answers, so it gives real numbers, not a guess. Select the game or pin your message to it to make clear which one you mean.

**Find things on the board**

- _@mida where is the latest wireframe?_ Mida answers with link cards. Click one to jump to that item.
- _@mida what are the open comments?_
- _@mida what changed on the board today?_ or _Who added the pricing table?_

**Catch up and follow up**

- _@mida catch me up on what I missed_. When only you need the answer, Mida shows it to you alone instead of posting it to the team.
- _@mida what did we decide yesterday?_ or _List the action items from this discussion_. Mida can also look further back in the chat history.
- _@mida ask the board owner to review this_. Mida mentions them so they are notified.
- _@mida what time is it for everyone here?_

**Make something from the discussion**

- _@mida create a mind map of this discussion_ or _@mida add a game for our retro_. Mida hands the request, with what was said in the chat, to the board assistant. It runs on your session, and the result appears on the board for everyone.

**Look something up**

- _@mida what does our competitor charge?_ Mida searches the web or reads a link someone shared, and names the source.

The person who mentions @mida uses the AI message for that answer.

## Approve steps that matter

Mida stops and asks before a step that would:

- remove or overwrite something already on the board,
- make something visible to other people,
- send something outside the board, or
- cost money.

The same card shows beside its cursor and in the Mida panel, as in the picture at the top.

- **Allow** does that one step.
- **Allow for this run** lets Mida repeat the same step on the same item without asking again until the task ends. It isn't offered for steps that delete or remove something.
- **Skip** leaves the step out, and Mida carries on without it.

Mida may also ask you something:

- **Mida needs your input:** information only you have. Pick an answer, or type one and press Enter.
- **It's done** or **Keep going:** when Mida can't tell from the screen whether the task is finished, for example with a drawing.

## Stop or undo a run

- **Stop:** click **Stop Autopilot**, the **X** next to the working line in the Mida panel. Everything done so far stays on the board.
- **Undo:** click **Undo all** under Mida's summary. All of the run's changes come off together.
- **Content along the way:** if a task needs new content, such as a mind map or a flowchart, Autopilot hands that part to Mida, which builds it as usual. Answer any choices Mida asks for in the Mida panel and the task carries on.

## What others on the board see

- A cursor labelled **Mida** moving with the work, beside your own.
- The changes arriving as they would from any editor.
- Your own cursor stays where you left it.

## Limits

- **One board:** Autopilot works only on the board it started on. If a step would open another board, the dashboard or a new tab, Mida asks whether you want to **Take over** from there, or it stops. Opening another board or reloading the page ends the run.
- **Never:** it never enters passwords or payment details, deletes your account or changes billing.
- **60 steps:** a run stops after 60 steps, and Mida says the task may be only partly done.
- **Who can use it:** editors on MockFlow boards. It isn't available to viewers, on public links, during a presentation, on board files opened from your computer, or without an account. It isn't part of Classic WireframePro.

## AI credits

- A run counts as one Mida request and uses AI credits as it works.
- When the whole task is creating content, it counts as an ordinary Mida request instead.
- If you have used all your AI requests for now, Mida tells you before it starts.

See [AI credits](/docs/ai-credits).
