Action

An open foundation for what the agent does.

An action is what Crab does once it has curated and understood — the output of the whole loop. The agent proposes; you commit. Drafting a reply in your voice is the first action; they install as sets per product, and the catalog is built to grow — the unit you'll one day publish.

How it works

01

Wire it to a label

Pick a label and the action it should trigger. The rule lives with the Signal, scoped to what that label is allowed to do.

02

The agent proposes

When an item matches, the agent does the work and attaches the result — a drafted reply, an archive — as a proposal on the item, tool call by tool call.

03

You commit

Nothing touches the outside world until your click. Grant a kind autonomy when you trust it; everything else waits for you.

An open foundation

Actions install as sets per product. Outlook ships today; the surface is built for more.

Label-triggered

Fires the moment an item matches its label — no babysitting.

You commit, not the agent

The agent proposes; your click sends it. Grant a kind autonomy only when you trust it.
