How-to guides
Task-oriented — a recipe for a specific goal. These assume you've done the Getting started tutorial and just need the steps.
Voice & conversation
- Train a wake word — teach ORBIS a custom wake phrase.
- Choose a speech-to-text backend — Whisper, Parakeet, hosted.
- Choose a voice (TTS) — backend + voice selection.
- Set and manage reminders — by voice + the bell.
- Voice isn't working — troubleshooting.
The orb
- Customize your orb — variant, palette, fine-tuning.
- Create custom orbs — author your own orb in the browser editor and import it.
- Author orbs with an AI agent — drive the editor over WebMCP to build orbs conversationally.
Agents & delegates
- Configure the LLM — choose or switch the brain model.
- Add a delegate — wire up an A2A or OpenAI-compat agent.
- Voice-drive a coding agent — proto, OpenCode, Claude Code, Codex over ACP.
Personalization & memory
- Personalize ORBIS — names, persona voice, verbosity.
Desktop & access
- Run ORBIS as a menu-bar agent — show, hide, quit.
