Grant model

How granting works

A skill is a permission you hand to an agent — not a silent preload.

1Pick it in SkillsAll 24 built-in skills live in one list. App Guide is there on day one — nothing to install.
2Grant it per agentA skill is a permission, not a preload. Each agent only carries the skills you've granted it, and you can take one back any time.
3It reaches only what's declaredThis one declares no access at all — the ledger below is the receipt.

Skills

WeatherCurrent conditions + a multi-day forecast for any place or your current location, shown as a shareable weather card. Multiple providers sit behind one surface — free Open-Meteo (no key) by default, or your own OpenWeather key when connected in Weather Providers — auto-picked by whichever key is set. Weather is a per-agent skill: assign it to the agents that should have it (the Executive Assistant always does).

Web SearchLet an agent search the web and read pages with the native web_search / web_fetch tools. Multiple engines sit behind one surface — DuckDuckGo (basic, no key) plus Brave, Google CSE, SerpAPI, Exa, Tavily, Parallel, and a self-hosted SearXNG when configured. The owner selects ONE active engine (DuckDuckGo by default) in AI Search Tools. Web search is a per-agent skill: assign it to the agents that should have it (the Executive Assistant always does).

Agent AdminBuild and run your own team of sub-agents — create a focused agent for a recurring job, give it a persona and an FAQ, grant it skills and business access, test it, and clean it up.

App AutomationsBuild and run reusable app automations — your AI opens an app and taps, types, and scrolls through a flow for you (post to LinkedIn, search & play on YouTube, summarise Instagram activity, book an Uber up to payment, and more). Give it a topic and it writes the post — you pick from a few drafts before it publishes. Describe the flow once and your AI walks it on the real screen to learn the steps, then replays them fast and deterministically; it self-heals a step if the app changes, and hands off to you at logins and payments. Manage them from any chat. Schedulable. On-device, with your confirmation.

App BuilderBuild, edit, and run on-device React web apps & websites — scaffold a project, edit its source with read-before-write safety, compile it with esbuild, and style it from 14 curated design presets with preloaded fonts.
