Orbit Lumen

An assistant that cites, respects and asks first

Lumen answers from the live data of four products, as the person asking, with numbered sources. It changes nothing without a click, and on Orbit’s cloud it answers with Claude Haiku 5.5 from Anthropic. How many questions an organization can ask is set by its plan.

Orbit Lumen

Every fact has a source and a date. Nothing changes without your click.

Lumen reads Orbit, Forge, Pulse and Folio through their APIs as the person asking, so permissions always hold. Every statement carries a numbered source with product, date and author, sources older than a threshold are marked as possibly outdated, and when nothing supports an answer Lumen says so. Changes are proposed as cards that the person runs in their own browser, because the Lumen server has no write path. "Find everywhere" works with no model at all.

Why it is better

Why you can trust Lumen’s answers

Every fact with a source and a date

[n] citations to what was actually read, server-side removal of unread references, "may be outdated" marks and conflicting sources shown side by side.

Exactly what you may see

No separate index. Lumen reads through each product’s API as you, and a two-user test proves someone outside a project gets nothing from it.

Nothing changes without a click

Changes are cards run by your browser. The Lumen server has no write path to any product.

Predictable cost

How many questions an organization can ask is set by its plan, and warnings come at 80% and 100%. Find everywhere works without any model.

Resistant to prompt injection by construction

Tool results travel as untrusted data, with no external images or HTML, and an attack set runs on every delivery.

Generated configuration is validated first

JQL, Pulse queries, automation rules, CI files and monitors pass the product’s own validator before they are shown or run.

Answers with sources

  • One panel everywhere

    A button and Ctrl+J in Orbit, Forge, Pulse and Folio. Streamed answers you can stop.

  • Cited answers

    Statements carry [n] sources. Links to anything the model did not read are removed by the server.

  • Source dates and conflicts

    Each source shows product, date and author. Old Folio pages are marked "may be outdated". Conflicting sources show both dates.

  • Honest "not found"

    No fabricated facts. A hint where to look, checked by an evaluation set.

  • Conversation history

    Continue, rename and delete. Visible only to the author, with retention of 0 to 365 days.

  • Feedback and comment in Orbit

    Thumbs up or down with a reason. Post an answer as a work item comment after confirming.

Find everywhere and query generation

  • Read tools for four products

    Orbit, Forge, Pulse and Folio data read through each product’s API.

  • Find everywhere without a model

    Parallel search over all products with each product’s permissions. Partial results are marked when a product is down.

  • Text to JQL

    Orbit validates the query, errors go back to the model and you see the final JQL before applying it.

  • Text to Pulse query

    Validated by Pulse, fixed by error position and opened in Logs.

  • Per-person permissions enforced

    Someone without access to a project gets none of its data in answers, sources or search. A two-user integration test checks it.

Context in the products

  • Knows what you have open

    The current entity and selection are published by every section, with suggested questions per entity.

  • Summaries and reviews

    Work items with discussion, Folio pages, merge requests with line comments proposed as cards, failed pipelines with the cause, incidents.

  • Writing help

    Draft a description, improve or translate selected text and insert into the Folio editor.

  • "What broke?"

    Incident, deployment, commits, related Orbit work and the Folio runbook in one cited answer. "Draft a status update".

Actions with confirm cards

Lumen proposes. You decide.

  • Cards show the exact change

    Product, fields and preview. Run, edit or dismiss. Nothing changes without a click.

  • Your browser performs the change

    It calls the product API with your session. The Lumen server has no write path.

  • Orbit actions

    Create work honouring required fields, comment, transition, link, field updates refused on stale versions and approval requests.

  • Work breakdown

    Sub-tasks from a description or epic, editable before creation, created after one confirmation with a report per row.

  • Generated configuration checked by the product

    Automation rules, .gitlab-ci.yml (through CI lint) and Pulse monitors are validated before the card can run.

  • Action log

    What was proposed, confirmed or dismissed and the result, visible to the author and administrators.

Models, providers and cost

  • Claude Haiku 5.5 on Orbit’s cloudIn development

    On Orbit’s cloud, Lumen answers with Claude Haiku 5.5 from Anthropic, with tool calling and streaming. How many questions an organization can ask is set by its plan.

  • Your own model on a customer-run installationPlanned

    For self-hosted installations: an open-weight model through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or a paid provider chosen per function with effort levels, only when an administrator adds a key and a budget ($0 by default). The key is stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM) and shown masked.

  • Token and cost accounting

    Tokens and cost are recorded for every request. On a customer-run installation, the monthly paid budget is $0 by default and stops paid requests with a clear message.

  • Honest "not configured"

    When no model is available the panel says what is missing, and Find everywhere still works with no model.

Security and trust

  • Tool results treated as untrusted data

    Product content goes to the model apart from instructions. An instruction found in data never runs without a card.

  • Safe rendering

    Markdown without HTML, no external images, external links marked.

  • Attack test set on every run

    Injections in work items, pages, logs and commits. 9 of 9 cases passed twice with no leak and no unconfirmed change.

  • Minimal data to the provider

    Only the question, page context and manifest fields. No session, email or user id.

  • Per-person limits

    Questions and tool calls limited per person, and the origin is checked on every write.

Administration and quality

  • Administrator console

    Providers and models, effort per function, enable per product and project, budgets and limits, retention.

  • Evaluation sets and regression reports

    Run reference questions from the console on any model and compare the last 30 runs.

  • Usage dashboardIn development

    Calls, tokens and cost by model, function, person and agent. The live data check is ahead.

  • "Why does this person have no access"In development

    Administrator-only tools over roles and work item security.

  • Explain settingsIn development

    Workflow, screens and pipeline explanations with a "what changes after publication" preview.

Agents and extensibility

  • Custom agents

    Name, instructions, allowed tools, projects, visibility and versions, with a test console before you publish.

  • Your own product through a manifestPlanned

    A product publishes a manifest and Lumen reads it. Orbit’s products use built-in manifests that are validated; joining a new product is a Lumen setting that Orbit controls, so it is not available on Orbit’s cloud yet.

  • Built-in agentsIn development

    Issue triage, release notes, code reviewer, pipeline doctor, incident analyst, doc writer and administrator helper.

  • Agents on eventsIn development

    Run on new work items, incidents, triggered monitors, opened merge requests and failed pipelines with the owner’s read-only grant.

  • MCP server for coding agentsIn development

    Read-only tools for Claude Code and Codex with a per-person token limited to chosen projects.

    Answers come from Claude Haiku 5.5 with tool calling and streaming. The number of questions is set by the plan.
