Run your life, not your tools. Now from your pocket. Orb is the AI that works like a thoughtful chief of staff. It tells you what matters and prepares the work before you even ask โ so you can stop switching between six tools and a separate AI chatbot, and focus on what only you can do. Why people use Orb Stay on top of your day. Orb helps you triage your inbox, summarize long threads, and turn scattered notes into clear next steps โ all in one place. Think out loud, get real answers. Ask Orb anything, from a quick fact-check to a full first draft, and get a response that's actually useful, not generic. Keep your context. Orb remembers your projects and preferences across conversations, so you don't have to re-explain yourself every time. Work the way you already do. Orb fits into your existing workflow instead of asking you to change it โ connect your calendar, documents, and favorite apps, and let Orb handle the busywork. Manage what matters Orb connects to the tools you already use โ Google Calendar, Gmail, Google Drive, Slack, Notion, Microsoft Teams, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and Telegram โ and brings the important parts of each into a single view, prioritized and ready to act on. Your data is yours, only Orb never trains AI models on your data. Your information is never shared, not even within your own workspace. Every connection is secured, everything is encrypted, and data is hosted in Europe. No action is ever taken without your explicit approval โ you're always in control. Built for people who run on too many tools If your day is spread across a calendar, an inbox, three chat apps, and a notes tool, Orb brings it back into one place โ prioritized, prepared, and waiting for your yes.

DronePermit works out whose permission you need before you fly a drone in the UK, and prepares the request for you. Enter the venue and it checks the spot against every Flight Restriction Zone around the UK's 160 aerodromes, from major airports to island airstrips and military bases. If you are inside one, it tells you who to contact, how much notice they need and the deadline for asking, then fills in that aerodrome's own paperwork with your operator and pilot details, drone, times and height, ready for you to check and send. - Airspace check for any UK postcode or location - Requests prepared in each aerodrome's own format: email, form answers, Word form or call sheet - Every request in one place with its status and reference - Reminders before each deadline, and before your Flyer ID or Operator ID runs out - Warnings when a temporary restriction covers your venue - Print any request, or share the completed Word form DronePermit is a guide, not an authority. Always confirm on the Drone Assist map before you fly.
