Proactive AI Agents that check in before you ask.

Questions

What is Orbit?

Orbit is StellarFirm's name for AI Agent Assistants that work on their own. You turn on Works on its own for an assistant, give it a brief, pick the connected services it watches and say how often it checks. On that schedule it looks at what is new, does what the brief asks and tells you when something needs you. Each assistant you turn it on for joins your Orbit.

What can a check do, and what can it not do?

A check only reads. It looks at what is new in the services you picked, does what your brief asks, such as summarising, triage or planning, and answers in the assistant's updates chat. Where the assistant can write a draft, the draft waits on its card for your Send; where it cannot, it puts what it would send in its answer.

A check never sends, posts, spends, publishes or deploys, and it changes nothing in your services, so it cannot acknowledge, page or resolve an incident. It does not open web pages, search the web or use the assistant's computer.

What you ask the assistant to do afterwards in its chat follows your approval rules: anything that sends, posts, spends or deploys waits for your Approve unless you switched on auto-approve for that kind of step, and money always asks.

Which services can an assistant watch?

Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Google Calendar, Google Drive, GitHub and Linear, and for production work Vercel (deployments, build and runtime logs), Better Stack (uptime monitors, incidents, logs), incident.io (incidents and alerts), Sentry, Datadog, PagerDuty and UptimeRobot. A service has to be connected on Integrations first, and the assistant's role has to be able to read it. GitHub connected only with a token reads issues, not pull requests or failing checks, and the setup form says so beside it.

Which models can the assistants use?

Any model, on every assistant. Each assistant runs on the model you choose for it, or on Auto, which picks for each task, and its checks run on the same setup. Claude, GPT, Gemini and Grok come with a paid plan, open models work on every plan, and you can use your own key too.

Where does Orbit run?

Checks run in StellarFirm cloud, so they go on while your computer is off. You set Works on its own up on StellarFirm web, and the updates appear in the assistant's chat there. The bell lists what a check found, and a step that waits for your Approve also reaches you by push on your phone and in your browsers and by the desktop app. Each of those has its own switch in Settings.

What does it cost?

Each check uses credits, like any message you send an assistant, so the more often it checks, the more it uses. You can set a spend limit for the company or for one assistant in Settings. When a limit is used up, new work pauses until it resets or you raise it.

Is Orbit an alternative to Claude Duet or Grok?

Yes. Claude Duet is one proactive personal assistant, on Claude, working on its own cloud computer. Grok's teammates are agents you set up yourself, and they share one cloud computer with its files and logins. Orbit is a team of ready-made assistants with roles, each on the model you choose, Grok included, and a check only reads through the connections you made: anything that sends, posts, spends or deploys waits for your Approve. Claude Duet details are from claude.com/product/claude-duet, and Grok's from xAI's launch post and documentation, as of 27 October 2026.
