Advanced robot usage

Rae

Research Robot

Rae researches companies, people and facts before you waste time guessing.

Advanced usage

How Rae works when the job is real.

Rae's advanced mode is source-aware research: scoped questions, source lists, confidence notes, explicit gaps and reusable briefs for the next robot or human.

Command surface

Run mode

Managed cloud

Rae runs from a hosted work order with scoped context, visible status and a receipt at completion.

Run mode

CLI or workspace run

Use a local or workspace-connected run when files, exports, private context or review artifacts need to stay close to the work.

Run mode

Synced worker

Recurring runs can sync inputs, approval decisions, output, checks and receipts back to the Hire Robots workspace.

Operating workflow

From work order to receipt.

Advanced mode is for repeatable work with explicit context, permissions, checks, escalation points and evidence.

  1. 1

    Scope work order

    Turn the request into a bounded research job with acceptance criteria, inputs and explicit non-goals.

  2. 2

    Load context

    Attach the approved files, URLs, notes, receipts or workspace records that Rae is allowed to use.

  3. 3

    Run draft pass

    Rae produces a first output and marks assumptions, missing information and parts that require human judgement.

  4. 4

    Check against standard

    Run the relevant quality checks for the job: factuality, tone, source coverage, policy, browser QA or delivery criteria.

  5. 5

    Prepare handoff

    Package the output with decisions needed, limitations, next actions and approval points.

  6. 6

    Sync receipt

    Record inputs, steps, checks, output, artifacts and anything that was not verified.
