People, Apps & Workflows

Orbit is built around a simple idea: to be genuinely helpful, an assistant needs to understand three things about your work.

​

People & Companies

Orbit knows your network — not just names and emails, but your actual relationships. For each person, Orbit tracks:

• How well you know them (familiarity level)
• When you last talked or met
• What company they work for
• Important dates like birthdays

Companies are groups of people. When you’re prepping for a meeting with Acme Corp, Orbit knows everyone you’ve talked to there and what you’ve discussed. Reference people with @ — Type @sarah and Orbit suggests matching contacts. Reference companies with # — Type #acme to pull up the organization.

Apps

Orbit connects to the tools you already use — calendar, email, notes, tasks, and more. When you run a workflow, Orbit can:

• Check your calendar for meeting details
• Look up contacts in your CRM
• Search your notes for past discussions
• Create tasks in your task manager
• Research companies on the web

Reference apps with {!} — Type {!todoist} to use that app in a workflow.

Workflows

Workflows are saved automations that combine people, companies, and apps. Instead of manually researching attendees, checking past notes, and looking up company news before every meeting — save that as a workflow and run it with one click. Orbit comes with 45+ built-in workflows for common tasks:

• Meeting prep and follow-up
• Weekly planning
• Relationship check-ins
• Research and email productivity

Reference workflows with / — Type /meeting-prep to run that workflow.

How They Work Together

The magic is when all three combine:

1. You have a meeting with @Sarah at #Acme Corp
2. You run /meeting-prep
3. The workflow uses to get meeting details
4. It looks up @Sarah in your contacts
5. It searches for recent #Acme Corp news
6. You get a complete prep document

That’s Orbit: your people, your apps, your workflows — working together.
