Tools: What the AI Can Do

The AI doesn't just chat—it can take real actions. Use tools to browse the web, read documents, generate images, manage your calendar, and more. The AI automatically decides which tools to use based on what you ask for.

PebbleFlow uses a read/write access model: Free users get read-only access to most tools, while Pro unlocks full write access across the board.

Everyone Gets These Tools (Free)

Web Browsing (Read-Only)

The AI can navigate your browser, read pages, take screenshots, search Google, and extract content. Perfect for research and data gathering.

What you can ask:

  • "Read this page and summarize it"
  • "Take a screenshot of this"
  • "Find all the prices on this page"
  • "Search Google for the best camping tents"

Google Workspace (Read-Only)

Search and read your Gmail, Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Calendar — no setup beyond connecting your Google account.

What you can ask:

  • "Search my Drive for the Q4 report"
  • "Read my latest emails"
  • "What's on my calendar today?"

Sundial Agenda (Read-Only)

View your calendar events and reminders, check availability, and find free time slots. Works with Google Calendar (and Apple Calendar on macOS with Platform tier).

Web Search

AI-powered search with citations. Ask questions and get sourced answers instead of hunting through search results yourself.

Slate Editor

Real-time AI collaboration for code and documents. See Slate for details.

Calculator

Quick math. The AI can do arithmetic, trigonometry, statistics, and more without using external tools.

API Integration (Read-Only)

Make GET requests to external REST APIs. Useful for fetching data from services we don't have built-in support for yet.

SQL Database

Create and query local SQLite databases. Useful for analyzing CSV data, building lightweight dashboards, or prototyping data workflows.

Sub-Agents

Delegate parts of a complex task to parallel agents so they run independently and report back. Useful when you want research, analysis, and drafting to happen at the same time.

Pro Tier Tools ($9/month)

Pro unlocks full write access to tools that are read-only on Free, plus additional capabilities.

Full Web Automation

Everything in read-only browsing, plus: click links, fill forms, type text, interact with page elements, and execute JavaScript. Perfect for form-filling, data entry, and browser automation.

What you can ask:

  • "Fill out this form with my info"
  • "Click on the Reviews tab and read what people say"
  • "Log into this site and download my invoice"

Full Google Workspace

Create, edit, and manage Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Gmail drafts, Drive files, and Calendar events.

Google Drive — Create folders, move files, manage sharing permissions Gmail — Draft and send emails, download attachments Google Docs & Sheets — Create and edit documents, write formulas, format cells Google Slides — Create presentations, add text/images/tables, edit layouts Google Calendar — Create events and reminders, schedule meetings

Full Sundial Agenda

Create events and reminders, schedule meetings, and manage your calendar across providers.

Full API Integration

POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE requests to any REST endpoint — not just GET.

Document Ingestion

Upload and analyze PDFs, Word docs (DOCX), Excel spreadsheets (XLSX), and images with OCR. Bring your own Mistral or OpenAI key for higher-quality extraction on complex documents.

Image Generation

Create images from text descriptions. Available models include FLUX.2 (Flex, Klein, Max, Pro), Gemini (2.5 Flash, 3 Pro, 3.1 Flash), GPT-5 Image, Seedream 4.5, and Riverflow v2. Perfect for illustrations, mockups, or visualizations.

What you can create:

  • A product mockup for a new design
  • An illustration for a blog post
  • A texture for a 3D project
  • Variations on an existing image

Private Sync

Sync your settings and conversations across devices via encrypted cloud backup. See Private Sync for details.

MCP Servers

Connect to remote MCP servers over HTTP/SSE, or local MCP servers on your machine via PebbleFlow Bridge. Build custom tool integrations or connect to third-party services.

Meeting Recall

Retrieve details from recent video calls — transcripts, action items, and summaries so you can pull meeting context into any conversation.

Messaging

Send SMS, WhatsApp, and other messages from inside PebbleFlow using your connected accounts.
