Assistance operates on the same system
Orbit’s assistant surfaces make it easier to capture and review life activity in the moment. They are interfaces to the Orbit data model, not a separate data product.
Chat
The web app includes a streaming chat experience with named sessions and message history. Users can create, retrieve, rename through update flows, and delete sessions. A chat turn can use Orbit tools to perform structured work, then stream the response back to the interface.
Shipped Chat is a product interaction surface with its own session model and telemetry boundaries.Voice
Voice sessions use a realtime connection model. The API creates a session, handles tool execution, and records hangup state. Voice tool calls carry the same domain context and auditability expectations as other assistant work.
MCP
Remote MCP exposes Orbit to compatible clients such as Cursor and Claude. The toolset provides generic CRUD plus task-focused shortcuts for balance, habit check-offs, mood, journals, tickets, telemetry, and UI coordination.
| Principle | Product consequence |
|---|---|
| One model | Actions from app, chat, voice, and MCP operate on shared goals, habits, entries, and reflections. |
| Explicit tools | The assistant performs named operations instead of relying on untraceable free-form behavior. |
| Correlated activity | Requests, sessions, and tool calls can be traced through product telemetry. |
See API, MCP, and OAuth for the integration boundary.
