Agent
Agent is Norbital's in-workspace AI assistant, hosted on Core. It helps people explore data, navigate apps, summarize records, and — for builders — draft workspace source under review.
Core only
Agent is a Core product surface — not part of
@norbital-ai/pod. Pod exposes the ai facility port; Core provides the agent implementation.Who can use Agent
- Builder — Agent plus Workspace Studio authoring
- Executive — Agent for operations, no builder or release controls
- User — no Agent access
AI usage is metered separately from seat licenses. See pricing.
Two main modes
- Chat — questions, retrieval, analysis, and drafting assistance
- Navigation — jump to apps, Workspace Studio admin, tasks, and approvals
Draft edits
When Agent helps with structural changes, work stays in the edit source zone. Builders still sync preview and go live manually — Agent cannot release to production. Workspace Studio release controls are builder-only; Agent respects the same boundary.
What Agent can do
- Answer questions about collections, fields, and workspace structure
- Retrieve and summarize records (within policy grants)
- Navigate to apps, admin screens, and approval queues
- Draft workspace source for builder review
Policy boundary
Reads and writes go through collection remotes with full pod policy evaluation. Agent cannot bypass approval gates, record locks, or redaction. Usage is reported to billing after each turn.
Example prompts
- "Show me all projects created this week that are marked urgent."
- "What fields exist on the Suppliers collection?"
- "Take me to payroll approval settings."
- "Summarize open tasks assigned to my team."
Best practices
- Use precise collection, team, and app names in prompts.
- Review draft source before sync and go live, even when Agent authored it.
- Assign Executive seats to managers who need AI without builder access.
