## How It Works

Orbit understands three things about your work:

* **People & Companies** — Your network, relationships, and interaction history
* **Apps** — Your tools like calendar, email, notes, and tasks
* **Workflows** — Patterns for how you get work done

When you ask Orbit to prep for a meeting, it pulls together attendee info from your contacts, past meeting notes, and recent company news — then gives you a ready-to-use brief.
