Tools let Babbily do things a model cannot do by itself, such as search the web, run deeper research, make QR codes, generate media, or use a connected app. Skills are reusable instructions that help Babbily follow a repeatable workflow.

​
Skills

Skills are reusable instructions for common workflows. They can help Babbily format work consistently, choose helpful tools, or coordinate with connected apps when you ask. You can manage skills in Settings > Skills:
  • Turn Babbily skills on or off.
  • Search verified skills.
  • Add your own markdown skill.
  • Trigger a skill with a slash command in chat.
Built-in skills can include workflows such as Research Brief, Meeting Prep, Writing Polish, Data Analysis, and Code Review. The skill catalog can change over time, so use Settings > Skills as the source of truth for what is available in your account. Markdown skills support a name, description, slug, and markdown instructions. Keep markdown skills focused and avoid adding secrets or credentials.
A skill can guide Babbily, but connected-app actions still follow connector permission rules. If an action requires approval, Babbily asks before running it.

Visual replies in chat

Ask Babbily for maps, charts, stat cards, weather, QR codes, citations, and media.

Task recipes

Start from common workflows and adjust the prompt for your work.

Finance

Use market overviews, company pages, watchlists, earnings, prediction markets, and Finance research.
