Use Scout from anywhere with the floating panel

ToolsUpdated Mar 19, 2026~1 min read

Scout is available as a persistent panel that slides in from the right side of the screen. You can open it from any page in Orbit.

Open Scout:

  • Press Cmd+J (or Ctrl+J on Windows) from anywhere
  • Or click the sparkle button in the bottom right corner

What Scout can do:

Scout has write access to your CRM. You can ask it to:

  • Save a job — "Track a Senior Engineer role at Stripe"
  • Update status — "Move my Google application to interviewing"
  • Add a contact — "Add Sarah Chen as a hiring manager at Acme"
  • Log activity — "I just sent a follow-up email to Stripe"
  • Search your pipeline — "Show me all my interviewing jobs"
  • Find contacts — "Who do I know at Google?"

When Scout takes an action, you see a green confirmation badge showing exactly what changed. Your local data syncs automatically.

Requirements:

  • Pro or Ultra plan
  • AI API key configured in Settings

Tip: Scout reads your current page context. If you are viewing a specific job, Scout already knows which company and role you are looking at.
