Bots
What a bot is, and the capabilities you can turn on for each one.
A bot is an assistant you configure once and keep. It has a name, a model, standing instructions, and one continuous chat with you. Unlike a chat thread you throw away, a bot builds up memory and skills over time.
Bots don’t share much by default. Each one has its own chat, its own workspace, and its own private memory and skills. What they can share, you turn on.
Capabilities
Capabilities decide what a bot is allowed to do. Every bot can run automations and run code in code mode. Turn on the rest per bot in its settings:
| Capability | What the bot can do | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Memory | Save facts to its private memory and to memory shared with your bots. | Memory and Skills |
| Messaging | Ask your other bots questions, or hand work to them. | Messaging Other Bots |
| Coding | Edit files and run commands in its workspace, itself or in coding jobs. | Workspaces and Jobs |
| Bot desktop | Use a graphical desktop with a browser in its workspace. | Workspaces and Jobs |
| Integrations | Use tools from MCP servers you connect. | MCP Integrations |
| Web search | Search the web and read pages. | Web Search |
| Create bots | Propose new bots, which you edit, approve, or decline in the bot chat. | Request Cards |
Coding and bot desktop also need a server that supports workspaces. See Set Up Workspaces.
Visuals and Reactions
Bots can show stats, tables, and charts inline in the chat. When a reply would be overkill, they react to your message with an emoji instead.
