PENKRA APPS
Apps make agents useful for your work.
Each App can add an interface you use, capabilities your agents call, and skills that teach them how. Start with Files + Editor and Browser, then install more.
WORK IN PARALLEL
Run tasks in parallel—not one by one.
Each thread runs independently. See what’s working, what needs approval, and what’s done—without opening every conversation.

Apps only see what you hand them.
