How UFO works
UFO is an AI teammate designed to do real work. It is chat-first, so ask for what you need.
Conversations
Section titled “Conversations”Use one conversation for each task. Continue in the same conversation when you want to answer a question, change the result, or add a related task. Start a new conversation for unrelated work.
You can leave a conversation while your UFO works. Return to read its progress and result.
Tools and access
Section titled “Tools and access”Your UFO can use a browser, a terminal, connected accounts, synced knowledge, and tools for files and websites. It only uses accounts and sources that are connected and granted to it.
Some actions need your approval. Follow the approval steps in UFO’s reply. Enter secrets in the private credential form. Never put a password, key, or token in a chat message.
Results
Section titled “Results”Your UFO can return an answer, change a connected system, open a pull request, or share a file or website. Its result states what happened and what it verified.
Ask for a specific check when it matters. For example:
Find the cause of this checkout error. Reproduce it, fix it, and test the customer flow in a browser. Open a pull request, but do not merge it.
Work that repeats
Section titled “Work that repeats”Ask your UFO to repeat a task on a schedule. It creates a task that you can inspect, pause, edit, or delete. Each run has its own conversation. See Scheduled work.
Work across conversations
Section titled “Work across conversations”Your UFO remembers preferences and decisions across conversations. Some memories are private; others are shared with the workspace or a channel. It can also search connected sources. See Knowledge and memory and Synced sources.
