Apollo
Published Updated
What is Apollo?
Apollo is Orbit’s built-in co-pilot: a chat and planning surface that knows your projects’ live state and can run real Orbit operations, such as queueing a prompt, after you confirm.
Orbit's built-in AI assistant. It runs in a floating window, knows your project state in real time, and handles operational tasks via natural language.
Apollo is always available as a floating window (always on top) and connects to Orbit through the internal service layer. You can ask Apollo to check project status, generate images, queue prompts, manage builds, or answer questions about Orbit. Apollo is covered by your Sivants subscription for default model use (GPT-5.6 Luna, Sivants' own covered model); using premium models (Sonnet, Opus) requires BYOK from the Vault.
How it relates to Orbit
Apollo is Orbit’s built-in assistant; it reads live project state and can run Orbit operations after any required confirmation. See Apollo, the Co-pilot for details.
When you would use it
You open Apollo for fast, conversational Orbit operations — anything where typing a sentence is faster than navigating through menus. For deep planning sessions, Orbit Chat or external Claude Chat is more appropriate.
Common operations
- Quick status checks across projects
- Queuing prompts conversationally
- Triggering image generation or builds
- Answering questions about Orbit features
Frequently asked questions
Can Apollo queue work for my coding agent?
Yes. Apollo drafts the prompt, and when you confirm it queues it for the project. See Run Operations with Apollo.
Do I have to paste project status into Apollo?
No. Orbit injects live project context into Apollo, so it already knows what is queued, running and shipped.
Can I use Apollo from my phone?
Yes, including by voice, through the Orbit phone app. See Orbit on Your Phone.
