Bring connected context into a task
When relevant information lives in an app, copying it into a chat adds extra work and can leave out context. Orlino can connect to supported apps, use relevant information within the permissions you grant, and help carry out actions there. The available apps and actions are shown in the product, so you can choose what to connect and authorize.
A request might involve reviewing a thread, preparing a reply, finding a detail, updating a supported workflow, or following up after a delay. Orlino can coordinate those steps around your goal instead of requiring you to switch tools for every small action.
Let longer work continue in the background
Research and multi-step tasks do not always finish in one sitting. Orlino can continue longer work in the background after you leave the app, then notify you when the task is done or when it needs your decision. You can check back for the result instead of keeping the task open on screen.
A clear task instruction helps: name the desired outcome, the apps or sources that may be used, any time or budget limits, and the actions that need approval. Orlino can keep moving through authorized steps while asking before consequential actions such as sending, booking, or buying.
Describe the handoff before you begin
Use this task brief with connections that are actually available in your account. It is a workflow example, not a screenshot of an active task.
| Part of the brief | Example |
|---|---|
| Source | The project material in a supported, authorized app. |
| Output | A one-page status update with source references. |
| Progress | Continue the supported research and drafting steps. |
| Decision point | Ask when a missing fact changes the report. |
| Completion | Return the draft for review; ask before sharing it. |
Available connections and actions are shown in Orlino. Confirm the particular source and operation there; one connection’s abilities do not establish what another can do.
A connected-app task prompt
Use [connected app or source, if available] to help me [goal]. Work only within the permissions I grant. First [research / summarize / prepare], then [next step]. Continue longer work in the background and notify me when it is complete or you need a decision. Show me the details and ask before sending messages, confirming a booking, or making a purchase.
Connected work, with clear checkpoints
Connected apps help Orlino bring context and action closer together. Background execution helps the task keep moving. Together, they make it easier to delegate work without losing visibility into important decisions. Explore Orlino and see which connections are available in your app.
