Does Orbit replace Claude?
No. Orbit makes Claude — and every other agent you run — remember and coordinate. Claude still does the thinking; Orbit gives it shared memory and direction.Do I need to be a developer to use Orbit?
No. Connecting Claude takes a few clicks. Most value — decisions, the Vault, the Briefing, the Inbox — needs no code. Developers get extra surface area (MCP tools, the API), but it’s not required.What tools can I connect?
Claude, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Codex, Cursor, n8n, ChatGPT, and Gemini today, with more coming. Any MCP-capable tool can connect. See How to connect your tools.How is a decision different from a message?
A decision is a standing rule every relevant agent reads on every run. A message is a one-off instruction for the next run. Decisions persist; messages don’t.What’s the difference between a Report, a Note, and Knowledge?
All three live in the Vault. Notes are exploratory/rough. Reports are finished outputs. Knowledge is ratified ground truth that’s injected into every relevant agent automatically. The difference is trust level.Can two different AI tools share the same memory?
Yes — that’s the point. A decision your Claude agent files is visible to your Codex agent, your n8n workflow, and everything else connected to the same workspace.What happens if two agents contradict each other?
Orbit detects the conflict and surfaces it in your Inbox instead of silently overwriting. You decide which version is canonical. See How to handle a conflict.Is my data used to train models?
No. See Security & privacy.Can I self-host?
Yes, on request, for enterprise requirements. See Self-hosted.Compare Orbit to alternatives
