Everything XIRO can do, on one searchable page.
There are 99 actions in 9 areas. Each one comes with an example of what to say and every option it accepts. For guided steps and more phrases, open the field guide. For how it's built, see the technical overview.
From what you say to what gets done.
Pick a kind of request to see the four steps it goes through.
“Create my resume from these details and save it on the Desktop.”
- Understand the request — What goes in it, which format, and where it should be saved.
- Write the document — Drafted only from the details you gave - nothing invented.
- Ask before writing a file — The first file write in a session asks once; you can always say no.
- Save and say where — The real path is read back, or the exact reason it could not be saved.
Every action carries a permission level.
Never asks
Reading, looking up and opening things run straight away - no prompt slows you down, and nothing on your disk changes.
Plans can't approve themselves: each step of an automatic run goes through the same check. More on the security page.
The right model for each request.
A quick question goes to a fast model
Short, everyday requests use the quick model you picked in Models & Keys, so answers come back in a moment.
Automatic routing is optional. By default XIRO uses the model you chose, and the list of models comes from your own key.

No action matches that.
Try a simpler word, or choose All.
Know what to expect.
Do I have to use these exact words?
No. The examples are there to get you started. Say it your own way, in your own language, and XIRO works out which action fits.
What is a "Backend tool"?
A real action that XIRO's other tools call on, rather than one the voice session picks directly. Whether it's reachable depends on the route a request takes.
Why did an action ask me first?
Because it changes something. Reading never asks, the first change of a kind asks once per session, and deleting asks every time. Press Ctrl + F to see any request that is waiting on you.
Can I add my own actions?
Yes. Ask XIRO to create a skill, then test it before you rely on it. Installing a skill asks every time, because it runs with your access. See the custom skill recipe.
