Skills

A skill is a capability you switch on. Out of the box Carae answers, remembers and reminds; skills are how it learns your routines, your tools and your quirks. There are over 150 built-in AI skills, and together they define what your assistant can do.

What a skill is

Each skill is one focused ability with a clear job: a morning brief, a habit tracker, your to-do lists, a weekly review. Install the ones that match your life and ignore the rest. Browse the full catalogue at carae.ai/skills, type /skills in chat for a menu you can tap, or just ask: "what skills do you have for travel?"

Installing and uninstalling

Tell Carae in chat and it's done:

• "Set up a habit tracker." Carae installs the skill and asks what you want to track.
• "Uninstall the news brief." Gone, no hard feelings.

The same buttons live on the web catalogue and on the Skills page of your dashboard. You can install a healthy number of skills per day (12 on Companion, 16 on Pro), so a rainy Sunday of setting up your assistant is entirely possible.

Now and then Carae suggests a skill that fits what you just said, on a card with an Install button: at most two a day, and only what your plan includes. Skills that message you on a schedule ask once before they send anything.

Configuring in plain language

No settings screens. Schedules are sentences: "send my weekly review on Fridays at four" just works.

The Morning Brief goes further with custom sections. Tell Carae "add a section to my brief with the top three AI headlines" and tomorrow it is there, alongside your calendar and the weather. You can keep 3 custom sections on Companion and 5 on Pro.

Here is what one looks like landing in your chat:

The catalogue, by life area

Skills cover the whole of your week, not just work:

• Daily life and home: reminders, to-do lists (with groceries, packing, deadlines and reading modes), meal planning, home maintenance, birthdays.
• Productivity: morning brief, calendar assistant, free-slot finder, weekly review, focus timer.
• Knowledge: web research, reading list, idea capture, flashcards, news digests.
• Health: habit and sleep tracking, hydration, medication reminders, workout summaries.
• Money: spending pulse, savings goals, budget coaching, invoice tracking.
• Travel: trip planner, flight tracker, packing (a to-do list mode).
• Writing and creative: editor, translator, image and music studios.
• Work, developer and CRM: standups, GitHub, Linear, Slack digests, HubSpot and Salesforce briefs, and more.

What the plans unlock

Every plan includes the everyday essentials, free-slot finding and budget coaching among them. Companion opens the health integrations, team tools and the creative studios. Pro unlocks the developer suite and building your own skills in The Forge. Community skills from The Forge install on any plan, from the Community Skills tab of the catalogue.

A day with skills on

You wake to a brief that already knows about the 9am standup. At lunch, "log that I drank a litre of water" updates your hydration streak. On the walk home, "add socks to the packing list" lands on Friday's trip list. None of it felt like using software.
