# What Orbit is and where it works

Orbit is Quely's AI layer. It retrieves, reasons over, and synthesizes the work and context you can access.

## Home Orbit

Home Orbit searches across every Space you can access. Use it to find work, draft a Knowledge document, prepare a meeting, or create supported external work.

## Unit Orbit

Unit Orbit works with the open Unit. It can use the Unit title, description, Threads, Attachments, Relationships, activity, time, estimates, Documents, Diagrams, meetings, and connected provider data.

Inside a Unit, select **Ask Orbit** and use the Orbit rail to move between **Chat** and **Lenses**.

## Meeting Orbit

Meeting Orbit works with one meeting and its available recording, transcript, notes, chat, and Lenses.

## Why scope matters

The same question can produce different answers in Home, a Unit, or a meeting because the accessible sources are different. Choose the narrowest scope that contains the evidence you need.

## Human control

Orbit can retrieve, recommend, draft, and prepare actions. A person chooses what is sent to a Thread, Document, meeting, Lens action, or provider.
