Core concepts

Tasks

A task is a conversation with Adam and everything produced during that conversation, including attached and generated files.

Keep related work in one task so Adam can use the earlier conversation and files. Start a new task for unrelated work or when you want to share it with different people.

Progress, questions, and approvals

After you send a message, Adam shows its progress in the task. It may ask a question or wait for your approval before continuing.

Task status is summarized in the task list:

• Running means Adam is still working.
• Needs input means a question or approval is waiting for someone who can respond.
• Completed means Adam has finished the current request.
• Scheduled means the task is set to run later or repeat.

Models

Lite, Pro, and Ultra are model families for different levels of work. Each family can include several models. Choose a family through the preset slider to use its default model, or open Advanced → Model to choose a particular model within it.

All models in a family share its plan requirements and usage limits. The models can still differ in how much allowance a request uses, and some support Fast mode.

If you connect Codex, its available models appear in a separate Codex section. They use your Codex plan limits instead of your monthly Adam usage.

Files and outputs

Files include anything you upload and anything Adam creates. They can include CAD files, drawings, documents, images, spreadsheets, presentations, code, and data.

The right-hand file panel keeps task outputs close to the conversation. The global Files page searches across tasks and lets you preview or export files.

Teams

Every account starts with a personal team. Shared teams add seats and roles, and share plan usage across members.

Team roles are Owner, Admin, and Member. A task's sharing permissions are separate: a person invited to one task can have Can edit or Can view access without changing their team role.

Integrations

Integrations let Adam work with supported products and accounts.

• Connect Onshape or Arena to work with documents and records in those accounts.
• Install the Fusion add-in to work with a design open in Fusion.
• Use Adam Desktop with supported applications such as SolidWorks, Revit, Blender, SketchUp, and Unreal Engine.

Scheduled work

A scheduled task stores instructions and runs them once or on a recurring schedule. Open Scheduled to see upcoming runs and previous results.

Memory

Memory lets Adam remember useful information across tasks. Open Settings → Memory to review or remove what Adam remembers.

Your memories are private to you, even in a shared workspace. Removing a memory deletes it permanently. In a shared workspace, owners and admins can turn memory off for everyone under Admin → Team Scope → Memory; turning it off permanently deletes every member's memories, and the team's memories, in that workspace.

In a shared workspace you can also ask Adam to remember something for the whole team, such as "remember for the team that our drawings use ISO 2768-m". Team memories reach every member's tasks and appear under Settings → Memory → Team. The member who saved one, and owners and admins, can remove it.

Skills

A skill is a reusable workflow Adam can load in future tasks. Ask Adam to save one from a chat, and it goes into your own library. Settings → Skills → Yours lists your skills, and you can delete any of them.

In a shared workspace, owners and admins can also save a skill for the whole team by asking Adam to save it as a team skill. Every member's tasks can then use it. Settings → Skills → Team lists the team's skills; the member who saved a skill, and owners and admins, can delete it. If you have a skill of your own with the same name, yours is used.
