The Prophet computer
The isolated environment where Prophet browses websites, runs code and creates files — on Prophet’s infrastructure, not on your computer.
What it is for
When a request needs more than talking — opening a website, running code, building a spreadsheet — Prophet uses a computer of its own, isolated, running on its infrastructure. Nothing runs on your computer.
What it does
Opens websites, clicks, fills in forms and reads what is on the page.
Python, JavaScript and terminal commands, to analyze data, generate reports and process files.
Documents, spreadsheets, code and charts, which you open and download.
Seeing what it is doing
In a conversation, the computer opens in a side panel with three tabs — Actions, Files and Browser. To open it:
- Click one of Prophet’s actions in the conversation
- Use the files button at the top of the conversation
- Or press ⌘I (Ctrl+I) with the cursor outside the message field
Security
- Isolated — one conversation’s computer cannot see another’s
- Secrets by name — the keys you saved in Secrets are available to Prophet by name; the value does not appear in what Prophet reads back from the output
- Separate from your computer — faulty code only affects Prophet’s environment
In automations
Each automation run starts on a fresh computer. That is why Prophet keeps the scripts an automation reuses separately, and they come back on every run.
Limits
- Websites with bot protection may block access
- A sign-in with two-step verification may need you
- An automation run stops after 30 minutes
