Specialized agents handle a specific job, routines run at the scheduled time, and connectors give the AI access to your tools. Nothing is sent, created or deleted in your tools without the approval rule you chose.
The building blocksLink to the The building blocks section
| Building block | What it does | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|
| Agents | Specialized assistants (management, sales, accounting, appointments…) with their own instructions, files and tools. You chat with them or give them scheduled tasks. | Sidebar › “Agents” |
| Routines | A message sent to the AI automatically, at the time you choose or when another service calls it through a webhook. The result lands in a conversation. | “Automate” › “Routines” |
| Connectors | The AI’s access to your services: email, calendar, files, work tools, MCP servers, email inbox, messaging apps. | “Automate” › “Connectors” |
| Approvals | Your approval before each action that sends, creates, changes or deletes something in your tools. Requests wait in “Pending approvals”. | “Automate” › “Pending approvals” |
| Messaging apps and triggers | Write to an agent from Telegram, or start it when an email, a comment or a meeting comes in. | “Connectors” › “Messaging apps”, agent page › “Tasks” |
| Notifications | The bell, browser and iPhone notifications, and the email digest. | “Settings” › “Notifications” |
The “Automate” group in the sidebar collapses and expands with one click; its state is remembered in this browser. When actions are waiting for your approval, their number shows next to “Pending approvals”.
How they fit togetherLink to the How they fit together section
- You connect your tools in “Connectors” (Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion, Slack, GitHub…).
- You chat with Moon AI or with an agent: the AI reads your tools to answer.
- When the AI wants to act (send an email, create a task, post a message), it asks you first, unless you allowed it to act without asking.
- For recurring work, a routine or an agent task does it again on its own, at the scheduled time, and lets you know when it is done.
As a rule, only actions that change something in your tools need your approval; reading happens directly.
Where to startLink to the Where to start section
- Connect a first service: Connectors.
- Add a Moon agent or create your own: Agents.
- Schedule a morning briefing or a weekly review: Routines.
Before you let the AI act on its own, read Approve actions: the setting, the “Pending approvals” inbox and the cases where Moon AI always asks for your approval.
In this section
- AgentsAdd a Moon or community agent, create your own, give it instructions, files and tools, hand it tasks and share it with your workspace.
- Approve actionsChoose when the AI asks before it sends, creates or deletes in your tools, decide in the chat or in Pending approvals, and see when approval is required.
- RoutinesSchedule a message that runs on its own, repeatedly or just once, track its history and share of your usage limit, and see routines and calendars together.
- WebhooksStart a routine from Zapier, Make, n8n or your own code with a signed request: address, headers, HMAC signature, examples, responses and errors.
- ConnectorsConnect Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion, Slack, GitHub and dozens of other services so the AI can read and act for you, then manage their permissions.
- MCP serversAdd a remote MCP server with an access token or an OAuth sign-in, use the official servers on offer, and choose how their tools are approved.
- Email inboxConnect any email inbox with its address and password (OVH, Infomaniak, Gandi, Ionos, iCloud…) so the AI can read, sort and send your emails.
- CAD, BIM and 3DConnect Autodesk Fusion, Archicad, FreeCAD or CadQuery, drive Revit, Blender or Photoshop with Moon CLI, and read your IFC models without any CAD software.
- Messaging apps and triggersTalk to your agents from Telegram through your own bot, and have an agent start on its own when an email, a comment or a meeting comes in.
- NotificationsGet notified when a long answer is ready, an action needs your approval or a routine finishes: in the bell, the browser, on iPhone, Android or by email.
