Gentlybot docs

Make your first useful thread.

Start with what you want to do. You can use a project your team has already connected, try a template, or bring your own app.

Use Gently with your team

Open a project, ask a real question, and inspect the result. Start here if your team has already set things up.

Start your first thread

Connect your team’s app

Connect the repositories, ask Gently to set up the app, and invite your team. Every thread gets its own environment.

Set up a project

Just exploring? Use a starter template to try a preconfigured app without connecting GitHub.

Ask for an answer, explore an idea, or request a change directly. These are different ways to use Gently; you do not have to move through them in order.

Understand

Get a sourced explanation of your product’s behavior. The answer can be all you need.

Explore

Work through an idea, inspect the scope, and decide whether to build it.

Build

Make a change in a working copy of the app, then inspect the evidence before review.

Writing great prompts

Describe the outcome and give Gently the context it needs.

Choosing a mode

Choose Ask, Plan, Implement, or Auto for the work at hand.

Reviewing and iterating

Test a teammate’s work and review previews, checks, and pull requests.

Playbooks by team

Useful starting requests for product, design, engineering, and customer teams.

Automations & triggers

Start recurring and event-driven work in normal threads.
