Tools are the individual functions Orbis executes when using a skill. A skill such as “email follow-ups” is composed of a few tools — search email threads, read a thread, look up a contact — and the assistant chooses among them as it works.

​
Built-in tools

Orbis includes tools that power its core functionality:

Contact lookup

Search and retrieve contact records by name, email, company, or domain

Company lookup

Look up company details by domain, including enrichment data

Email threads

Search and read threads from a connected mailbox

Note creation

Create notes on contact or company profiles

Web search

Search the web for public information about a person or company

Calendar read

Access upcoming and past calendar events for a contact

​
Connected tools

The Tools page in the sidebar lists the services Orbis can connect to — Google, LinkedIn and more — and whether each is connected. In chat, /tools shows the same list. A skill that needs a service you have not connected will say so.

​
Tools and scouts

Scouts use a fixed, narrow subset of tools — the ones their skill names — and never anything that sends email or creates a draft. What a run found, with its evidence, is on the scout’s page; see Scouts.
