🧰 Addons
MCP servers link the agent to a service, such as GitHub, Gmail or Asana. Install one, set it up, switch it on. Browser tools are here too, under the Browser filter.
🌐 Browser: choose the one the agent drives
Extensions add abilities to the engine itself. Install one and switch it on; its setting decides whether it runs in every chat or only in chats where you tick it in 🧩 Extensions.
Installed and switched on. The trigger on each row decides when it actually runs.
Skills are playbooks the agent follows. Install one and switch it on, then tick it in ⚡ Skills in a chat's header to use it there, or set it to run in every chat.
Install a skill to make it available to the agent. Use the ⚡ Skills menu in the header to activate skills for a specific chat.
The engine's own tools: shell, files, search, browser and more. Switch one off and the agent cannot use it. Connections and extensions add tools of their own; switch those in their tabs.
Configure
📝 Custom Prompt
Role & custom instructions are injected at the top of every message the agent receives. (Skills are in 🧰 Add-ons → ⚡ Skills.)

🧑🤝🧑 Run in parallel
Two ways to work in parallel: let the assistant split big jobs on its own, or list specific tasks to run at the same time. Any number - they all start together unless you set "Max agents at once" in Settings → Multi-Agent & Swarm (the rest then wait and start as others finish).
⚠️ Helpers can run commands on their own in this folder.
