Built around your control
More capable. Still accountable.
Your knowledge deserves careful handling. Oribula gives your assistant written rules for reading source material, reviewing changes, and checking its work.
Keep the original.
Knowledge files link back to their sources. Original documents are preserved, so you can revisit the details whenever you need them.
Review what matters.
New knowledge files and uncertain changes pause for approval. Routine updates can proceed when they meet the rules and have an undo record.
Keep the instructions yours.
Documents and connected content are treated as information to analyze. Oribula instructs your assistant to question embedded requests that try to direct its actions.
Expect confirmation.
Your assistant is instructed to verify results before calling work complete—and tell you when something couldn’t be checked.
Check its health anytime.
One click runs Oribula’s health checks and tells you what it found, including anything it couldn’t check. Missing folders can be recreated without touching your files.
Update without the worry.
Updates leave your Projects, Areas, and Archive alone. Oribula backs up first, checks the result, and puts everything back if the check fails.
