​
Does Ara wait for prompts before working?

No. Ara is designed to be proactive. It identifies the next improvement on its own and turns it into a scheduled run so work can continue without waiting for prompts.

​
What kinds of actions can Ara perform?

During a run Ara can work across different environments, including editing files, using the browser and terminal, opening pull requests, and reviewing the resulting diff.

​
How does Ara decide what to build next?

Ara reads your product and codebase to determine the highest‑value next step. That improvement becomes the next run in the loop.

​
Does Ara learn over time?

Yes. Ara stores what it learns from each run. It remembers what was shipped and keeps useful methods as skills, which helps future runs become more effective.

​
How do I monitor what Ara is doing?

You can watch activity through Mission Control, which provides visibility into chats, files, browsers, terminals, and review panes used during a run.
