# Inbox

The Inbox is your central hub for managing AI agent sessions that need your attention. It shows sessions where Athena is waiting for your input and sessions you're following.

**Open session** - Click the external link icon to open the session in a new tab and interact with Athena directly.

**Filter by channel** - Use the filter dropdown in the top-right corner to show only sessions from specific channels (SMS, Slack, Email, or Web).

**Unsubscribe** - For sessions you're following, hover over the row and click the X icon to stop receiving notifications.

## Following Sessions

To follow a session and receive notifications when it completes, click the bell icon in the top-right corner of the chat interface. The session will be added to your Inbox under "Following."

<Info>
  The Inbox auto-refreshes every 5 seconds. Sessions that are automatically resumed (like deep research tasks) are filtered out to reduce noise.
