SurfBuddy can handle requests that span multiple apps. When you mention several apps or describe a task that requires multiple steps, it orchestrates the work—handing off to each agent in sequence.
How It Works
@web_explorer summarize this page and @google_docs save it to my notes
What happens:
- SurfBuddy receives your request
- Hands off to Web Explorer agent → summarizes the page
- Hands off to Google Docs agent → creates a document with the summary
- Returns to you with the result
Each handoff is visible in the interface, so you always know which app is working.
Workflow Examples
Research to Report
@web_explorer summarize this page about productivity,
then @google_docs save it as "Productivity Notes"
Email to Spreadsheet
@gmail find the latest invoice from Acme Corp,
then @google_sheets log the amount in my Q4 expenses
Page to Calendar
@web_explorer extract action items from this page,
then @google_calendar add reminders for each this week
Tips
Be explicit about data flow. Say what goes where.
| Unclear | Clear |
|---|---|
@gmail @google_sheets invoices | @gmail find invoices, @google_sheets add totals to tracking sheet |
Use suggested actions. After each task, SurfBuddy recommends logical next steps—click to continue your workflow without retyping.
Context carries forward. Information from earlier steps is available to later ones. If Gmail finds an invoice amount, Sheets can use it directly.
