You’ve installed BOR and finished onboarding. The orb is on your desktop. Click it — or press Cmd+Option+Space — and try these.

​
Five things to try

​
1. Ask a question

“What’s the weather for a hike near me this weekend?”
BOR searches the web, reads sources, and answers concisely in the bubble. Not everything builds an app — a good answer is a valid result.

​
2. Build an app

“Make me a calorie tracker.”
BOR researches what a good calorie tracker needs, builds a complete app, and opens it as its own Mac window. It’s saved — reopen it any time from the App Library in the bubble header, or just ask. See Building apps.

​
3. Use a connected service

“What’s in my inbox this morning?”
If you linked Gmail during onboarding, BOR reads it through the real Gmail connection — no browser theater. Haven’t linked anything yet? See Connectors.

​
4. Send it to the web

“Find the cheapest direct flight to Lisbon in September.”
BOR opens its own Chrome and works the sites like a person — reading pages structurally, clicking, filling forms — and reports back with verified results. See Ambient browser.

​
5. Schedule something

“Every weekday at 9, summarize my inbox and notify me.”
BOR schedules a real agent run. Results land behind the bell; hit Continue in chat on any notification to pick the thread up. See Background tasks.

​
Reading the thought bubble

While BOR works, the bubble streams live cards: reasoning (its thinking), editors (files being written line by line), terminals (commands with live output), browser sessions, MCP calls to your connected services, images, and media. You always see what it’s doing and why. Useful controls, all in the bubble header:
  • Stop (square) cancels the running task; the button becomes play — press it to resume exactly where it stopped.
  • Minimize collapses a running task to a chip; the work continues.
  • History reopens past conversations with every card intact.
  • App Library, Notifications, and the MCP marketplace live here too.
Drag any file onto the presence to attach it as context, or use the + button. The model chip in the input switches models mid-conversation. See The presence for everything.
