Working with Cerebro
Cerebro isn't a chatbot you visit — it's an operations hub you command. Most of the time you just sit in the chat page and tell it what you want. Here's how to get real leverage out of it.
The chat page runs the whole platform
Everything Cerebro can do — memory, agents, browser control, automations, your device network, trading — is reachable from one place: the chat. You don't hop between dashboards. You ask, and Cerebro picks the right tools and does it.
› “What did we decide about the pricing page last week?”
› “Spawn a researcher to compare the top 3 vector databases and report back.”
› “Open my broker, screenshot today's P&L, and save it.”
› “Every Sunday at 9pm, summarize the week and file it under my goals.”
Under the hood: managed Claude sessions
Every chat and every agent is a real Claude Code session running on your machine, using your existing Claude subscription. Cerebro's job is to house and manage them in one tidy place — giving each session persistent memory, the right tools, a browser, and a way to talk to the others.
So instead of a terminal full of disconnected sessions that forget everything when they close, you get a control room: sessions you can name, organize into projects, pause, resume, and revisit — all sharing the same long-term memory.
Run many chats at once — and connect them
Open as many chats as you like and let them work in parallel. Because they all share one memory, you can:
- Point one chat at another — Reference what a different chat figured out and keep building on it — no copy-pasting.
- Pull threads together — Ask Cerebro to gather findings from several sessions and synthesize one answer.
- Divide and conquer — Run a research chat, a coding chat, and a trading chat side by side — each focused, all aware of the bigger picture.
Capability Packs — quick tips
Capability packs are bolt-on skill sets. Turning one on gives Cerebro a focused set of abilities and instructions for a domain — trading, device control, a specific project, a workflow. A few tips:
Enable only what you need
Active packs shape how Cerebro behaves in a chat. Keep the relevant ones on so it stays focused and sharp.
Different packs per chat
Your trading chat can run the Trading pack while your dev chat runs Self-Improve — each chat is tuned for its job.
Roll your own
Ask Cerebro to create a capability pack. It can author new packs to extend its own abilities for your specific workflows.
Marketplace is coming
Soon you'll be able to install community packs — and publish your own — in one click.
Manage packs from the chat sidebar, or just ask: “What capability packs do I have, and which should I turn on for this?”
Power moves
A few ways people get outsized leverage out of Cerebro:
Spawn a team, not a tab
Ask Cerebro to deploy researchers, coders, or browser agents. They run in parallel, report back, and everything they learn lands in shared memory.
Put it on the web
“Go to this site, fill the form, screenshot the result.” Each chat and agent gets its own isolated Chrome — no collisions, no babysitting.
Set it and forget it
“Every morning at 7, check my positions and summarize the news.” Automations run on a schedule and drop the results back into chat.
Never re-explain yourself
Cerebro remembers your projects, preferences, decisions, and corrections. Start a new chat and it already knows the context.
Point chats at each other
Reference what another chat figured out, pull threads together, and let Cerebro stitch findings from several sessions into one answer.
Teach it new tricks
Turn on a capability pack to unlock a skill set — or have Cerebro author a brand-new pack and extend its own abilities.
