Orbit AI Agent
Ask about your infrastructure and your bill in plain words. Orbit reads your estate, answers, and drafts changes that still go through approval.
Orbit is the AI agent built into OrchesTerra. It reads the same estate, plans and cost data you see in the workspace, and answers questions about them in plain words.
What you can ask
- "Why did our AWS bill go up last month?"
- "What would this change cost?"
- "Where are we paying for things nobody uses?"
- "What has drifted, and what would fixing it change?"
Orbit answers from your connected accounts and workspace data, not from generic documentation. Its tools for reading spend, estimating cost and scanning for waste are read-only. Spend questions cover AWS billing today.
Changes go through approval
When an answer calls for a change, Orbit drafts it as a plan. The plan then follows the same path as any other change:
- it is priced before deploy,
- it is checked against your policy packs,
- it waits in the approval inbox for the reviewers you configured.
Orbit never applies anything on its own: it has no apply or destroy tool. A fix runs only after a person approves it, and Orbit works inside your workspace with your permissions.
Why it matters
Many questions about an estate are easy to ask and slow to answer: they need someone to open three consoles and a billing export. Orbit shortens that to one question, while keeping write access behind the same controls as everyone else.
FAQ
Can Orbit change our infrastructure?
Only by drafting a plan. Applying it needs the approvals your workspace requires, the same as a plan written by a person.
