# What it can do

> Built-in superpowers every digital employee ships with — live web browsing, image and video generation, voice, a real workspace, and more.

Every digital employee comes with a set of built-in superpowers — no setup, no connections, no skills required. These are things it can do out of the box from the very first message. On top of these, [Connectors](/digital-employees/connectors) plug it into your accounts and [Skills](/digital-employees/skills) teach it how to do specific jobs well.

***

## Browse the web — live

Your employee can read the open web and **control a real browser** in the cloud — the same way you would.

* **Search the web** for fresh information and pull back highlights with citations.
* **Read any page** — articles, docs, product pages, forum threads — and summarise, extract, or compare.
* **Live browsing** — navigate to a site, click buttons, fill in forms, scroll, and watch what happens. Your employee can sign into your accounts (with your permission), download files, and operate apps that don't have an API.
* **Watch it work** — when your employee opens a live browser, you get a link to peek at the session in real time.

Use this when you need anything the public web knows, or when a job involves clicking through a real interface.

## Generate and edit images

Your employee can make images from a text prompt, edit images you give it, or combine multiple images into a new one. Results come back as a clean URL you can drop into emails, decks, or your app.

Examples of what you can ask:

* "Make a clean illustration for the top of my newsletter — bold flat colors, no text."
* "Take this product photo and put it on a beach background."
* "Combine this logo and this hero shot into one social card."

Generated images can also be saved straight into [Google Drive](/digital-employees/connectors) or kept in the employee's workspace for follow-up edits.

***

## Generate videos

Your employee can produce short videos from a text prompt or an image — useful for social posts, product demos, intros, and B-roll. Generation runs in the background and your employee tells you when it's ready.

Like images, finished videos return as a URL you can hand off, share, or embed.

## Voice — speak and listen

* **Text-to-speech** — turn a script into an expressive voiceover with a chosen voice (you can pick from named voices like "Rachel" or "Adam", or supply a custom voice). Supports expressive cues like whispers, laughs, and emphasis.
* **Transcription** — drop in an audio file (mp3, wav, m4a, webm) and your employee transcribes it. Optionally returns timestamps for each segment or word — great for captions, meeting notes, or repurposing recordings.

Use these for voiceovers, podcast workflows, meeting summaries, accessibility, or anything where audio meets text.

***

## A real workspace

Every employee runs in its own private, isolated **sandbox** — a small Linux workspace where it can:

* Create, read, edit, and organize files of any kind.
* Run scripts and command-line tools to crunch data, generate reports, or process files.
* Keep working notes, drafts, and intermediate output between conversations.
* Search across its own files for facts it has saved.

You can browse the workspace yourself any time under the **Files** tab. The sandbox is private to your employee — nothing leaks across employees or accounts.

***

## Talk to your apps and services

Once you authorize a [Connector](/digital-employees/connectors), your employee can read and write through that service from inside chat — sending emails, booking meetings, posting to Slack, updating a CRM, pulling reports, and so on. Don't see a service you need? Your employee can talk to **any HTTP API** through a [Custom integration](/integrations/custom-integrations).

***

## Build and run your BuildAI apps

Your employee can **build brand new BuildAI apps from chat** — a CRM, a content calendar, a daily dashboard — and then run them for you, populating records, updating statuses, and pulling live numbers without leaving chat. Existing apps you've already built work the same way: just point your employee at one and it takes over.

Open any connected app from the **APPS** strip above the chat to see what your employee has been doing. See [Connected apps](/digital-employees/connected-apps) for the full walkthrough.

***

## Learn new skills

Your employee can be **taught skills from a curated catalog** — drop-in playbooks for specific jobs like writing newsletters, vetting leads, building decks, or running QA. Open the **Skills** tab, pick a skill, and click **Teach** — your employee instantly knows the playbook, no extra prompting required. See [Skills](/digital-employees/skills) for the full list.

***

## Remember things and follow up

* **Memory** — your employee remembers facts about you and your work between conversations. See the **Memory** tab.
* **Scheduled tasks** — hand off recurring work and your employee runs it in the background, daily, weekly, or on any cadence. See the **Tasks** tab.

***

## Putting it together

These capabilities compose. A single request can chain several of them without you having to say "now do this, now do that":

> "Find me three recent articles about home espresso machines under \$500, pull the key specs into a sheet, generate a hero image for the roundup, and draft a Tuesday newsletter using my usual voice."

That's a web search, multiple page reads, a Google Sheets write (Connector), image generation, and a drafted email — one prompt. Your employee figures out the steps and uses the right capability for each one.
