Common questions
A few things you might be wondering
- How is Orbits different from tools like Ollie, Ohai, Claude, and ChatGPT?
- Orbits isn't just another tool. It's a proactive assistant that doesn't wait for chaos to hit. Bit spots what needs attention, turns everyday conversations and connected accounts into organized action, and follows through across your family's calendars, lists, meals, chores, calls, upkeep, and records. Open any comparison to see exactly where Orbits does more.
- How is Orbits different from Google Calendar + Reminders?
- Google Calendar and Reminders stop at schedules and alerts. Orbits connects the schedule to shared lists, meals, chores, household email, maintenance, pets, vehicles, service requests, and the family members responsible for it all. Bit helps across the entire system.
- Can Orbits make phone calls for me?
- Yes. Ask Bit to book a restaurant reservation, confirm the restaurant, party size, date, time, and booking name, and approve the details. Bit places the call and sends the outcome back in chat.
- Which calendars and email accounts does Orbits support?
- Orbits supports Apple Calendar and Apple Mail through iCloud, Google Calendar and Gmail, and Microsoft Outlook. Connect your existing calendar to keep schedules in sync, and your email so Bit can catch household details like school changes, appointments, bills, and deliveries.
- Can my whole family use it?
- Yes. Create a Home, share its invite code, and family members can join the same calendars, lists, meals, chores, and household records. Items can be shared with the Home or kept personal when they do not belong in the family view.
- How does the AI actually work?
- Chat with Bit to create or update events, tasks, lists, reminders, chores, meals, and household details in plain language. Bit also turns connected email and family messages into useful suggestions, prepares a daily briefing, and shows proposed changes for approval before applying them.
- Can Orbits plan meals and manage chores?
- Yes. Bit can plan a dinner week, keep recipes, build the grocery list, and hand the cart to Instacart. Orbits also manages recurring chores, what is due next, completion history, and family reminders alongside the calendar.
- Can I use Bit by text or in a family group chat?
- Yes. Text Bit directly or add Bit to the family group chat. Bit can help create events, reminders, tasks, chores, and list items, with confirmed results staying organized in the Orbits app.
- Does Orbits have ads?
- No. We hate ads too, so Orbits does not show them. Your attention is yours, and we are not in the business of selling it.
- Is my data secure?
- Orbits uses industry-standard security practices, stores data securely, and does not sell personal information. The Privacy Policy explains what is collected, why it is used, and the choices available to you.
