Autopilot

Autopilot is how Orbit keeps growing without another CSV. Pro · Mac desktop for Screen; Meetings & email also work on web once accounts are connected.

What it watches

Sense	Needs	What it catches
Meetings & email	Google connected (Outlook when available)	People you meet and email
Screen	Mac desktop · Screen Recording	Names and profiles you encounter while working

For Apple Messages (iMessage / SMS), use Connect → Messages — that path reads chats on your Mac to add people, summaries, and tags. Turn senses on from Connect / Autopilot settings on Mac. Start with Meetings & email if you want the calmest path.

What you should expect

Suggestions for people to add or update — not a silent CRM rewrite of your life
Better timeline context on people you actually interact with
Pair with Signals so job changes and reminders stay visible

Requirements

Pro plan
Mac desktop app for Screen
For Meetings & email: connect Google first
