Control levels: Autopilot, Copilot, Signal-only, Off

Control levels are set for individual skills. The choices shown can differ between skills.

The four levels

Level	What happens	When to use
Autopilot	A supported action can happen without waiting for an Inbox decision, then appears in Activity. Undo is available only for eligible actions.	Actions your team is ready to run automatically.
Copilot	The Buddy creates a proposal for a person to approve or reject in the Inbox.	Work that needs a person's decision first.
Signal-only	The Buddy shares information without carrying out the proposed action.	Informational work or work that needs human judgment.
Off	The skill is paused for your team.	Skills your team does not want to run.

Autopilot does not bypass team permissions or other safeguards. Approving an action also does not make an irreversible action reversible.

Choose a level carefully

• Use Copilot or Signal-only when a person should review the work before it happens.
• Review proposals and Activity to understand what a skill does for your team.
• Use Autopilot only for actions your team is comfortable running without an Inbox decision.
• Keep external communications under your team's usual review and permission practices.
