What Loom can do
Loom agents work on your Mac, in your browser, with the folders and accounts you give them, and only within the rules you set.
Agents
An agent is a helper with a job. Start from a ready-made one, Morning Brief, Research Watch, Scout or Tidy a folder, or make a plain agent and describe the job in your own words. Each agent has its own instructions, rules, memory and dashboard. Talk to it like you would to an assistant.
Routines
Give an agent a schedule, every morning at 7 or Mondays and Thursdays, and it does the job on its own. Routines keep going when Loom's window is closed. Run now runs one straight away, and Home tells you if anything didn't run.
A real browser, on your Mac
Agents read the web in a real browser on your own Mac and connection, so sites see an ordinary visitor. For each site you choose whether an agent may look and read, fill in forms, or submit, book or pay. You sign in to sites yourself; the agent never sees your password, and the sign-in stays on your Mac. When a site asks you to prove you're human, Loom hands the check to you.
Memory
Agents keep notes as they work: what you like, what they found, what to do next time. Share a note with every agent or keep it with one. See where a note came from and earlier versions, and Forget for good anything you don't want kept.
Connections
- Gmail: read your mail and write drafts.
- Google Calendar: see your events, and add them if you allow it.
- Weather: forecasts, no sign-in.
- Folders: read and save files only where you allow.
- The Vault: membership, loyalty, policy and account numbers kept in your Mac's Keychain, for the agents you choose.
- Custom connections for services that offer one.
Pictures
Ask an agent to make a picture from a description: a card, a poster idea, an illustration. It's saved in the agent's Library and can go on its dashboard. Agents can also look at a picture you give them and describe it.
Dashboards
Each agent keeps a dashboard of widgets up to date: lists, tables, charts, prices, a week view, forecasts, maps, galleries and more. Pin the ones you care about to Home. See every kind of widget. Tables live in the agent's Library, where you can edit them; the agent never overwrites what you set.
You stay in charge
Each agent has Rules: for using the web, changing or deleting files, sending, sharing, posting, paying and signing in somewhere new, choose Always, Ask me or Never. Questions wait under Needs you with Allow once, Always allow or Not now. Every step an agent takes is recorded, and its spending is shown per agent and per run.
