FAQ

Weekly operations questions

Common answers about connectors, recurring runs, and owner review.

Which tools can Orkas connect to?

Orkas connects to GitHub, Notion, Slack, Gmail, and Google Workspace — Google Calendar, Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Tasks — over OAuth. You connect a service, and your agents discover and call the actions that connector exposes. Actions are limited to what each connector's OAuth integration offers, and every connector is opt-in per service.

Can it run recurring automations?

Yes. You direct the agent team by chat across your connected tools — draft and send email, triage your inbox, post to Slack, create or update Notion pages, open or triage GitHub issues, manage calendar events and tasks, or compile a weekly report from several sources — and you can run that work on a recurring basis.

Is connecting my accounts safe?

Connections use OAuth, connector tokens are stored encrypted on your machine, and each connector is opt-in. Connector actions are tool calls and are not guaranteed to pause for a separate approval prompt, so review access before external actions. Use Orkas-managed official models, or connect your own provider; own-provider model calls go direct. Optional sync stores the data you choose to sync on Orkas servers, and the free edition sends limited usage metadata, not your content.

Is Orkas an AI workflow automation tool?

Yes. Orkas turns repeatable work into reusable sub-agents and skills you can summon by chat. It is best for workflows that need reading, reasoning, tool calls, approvals, and follow-up across files, code, or connected workspace apps.
