Control levels: Autopilot, Copilot, Signal-only, Off
How each skill can be configured per team. Set it once, applies everywhere.
Updated1 min readbuddies
Each skill on each Buddy has one of four settings. The default is conservative — Copilot or Signal-only.
The four levels
| Level | What happens | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| 🟢 Autopilot | Buddy acts end-to-end. Shows up in activity feed. Undoable for 24h. | Reversible, low-stakes work where confidence is high (AR digest, commission ledger). |
| 🟡 Copilot | Buddy drafts. Human approves in Inbox before anything writes. | Most things — chases, drafts, schedules. The safe default. |
| ⚪ Signal-only | Buddy raises a flag (task or notification). Human does the work. | Judgment-driven work where the wrong autonomous write would damage data (photo gaps, missing fields). |
| ⚫ Off | Paused for your team. No execution. | Skills you don't want at all. |

Each card lists the Buddy's skills with the current setting.
Pick a new level per skill
Changes apply immediately. Pending Copilot drafts for that skill are NOT auto-approved when you switch to Autopilot — you'll still need to resolve them manually.
Recommended starting setup
- Keep everything at Copilot for week 1
- Move skills to Autopilot once you've approved 20+ of their drafts without a correction
- Move skills to Signal-only if the drafts are too noisy or too often wrong for your context
