# Glossary

This glossary defines the core terminology used throughout the Alludium platform. Use the visible product label when writing documentation, even when older routes or internal names still use legacy terms.

**Agent** - A focused digital worker configured for a specific task. Agents operate under human supervision, use explicitly granted tools and context, and produce draft outputs for review.

**Agent Builder** - The configuration environment where agents are created, tested, deployed, shared, and exported.

**Automation** - A scheduled or configured run that starts agent or workflow work without a manual prompt. Older technical references may call the underlying starter a trigger.

**Connection** - Authenticated access between Alludium and an external system. Connections can be user-scoped or workspace-scoped depending on the integration and sharing model.

**Execution Log** - A record of an automation or workflow run, including status, timing, and available output or error context.

**File** - A durable uploaded or generated document used as context for agents, tasks, and projects. Older technical surfaces may call the underlying object an artifact.

**Inbox** - The workspace entry point for incoming work, task review, and task-driven workflows.

**Integration** - An external system or platform service that Alludium can use, such as Google Drive, Slack, Affinity, Brave Search, or Alludium Docs.

**MCP** - Model Context Protocol, an open standard for connecting AI systems to external tools, data sources, and services.

**My Agents** - The execution environment where deployed agents are accessed, invoked, configured for personal connections, and reviewed through conversation history.

**Pack** - A reusable package of project setup logic and task definitions that powers a project type.

**Project** - A managed body of work that brings together tasks, files, agents, and outputs around a defined objective.

**Project Setup** - The guided setup flow that creates a project from a project type or pack, including required inputs and initial task configuration.

**Skill** - A reusable markdown playbook that teaches an agent how to approach a specific kind of task using a structured method.

**Task** - A unit of work in Alludium. Tasks can be manual, agent-assisted, child tasks, review steps, setup steps, or automation-driven work depending on the workflow.

**Task Type** - A reusable task definition that describes the inputs, agent behavior, expected outputs, and review pattern for a task.

**Template** - A pre-configured agent blueprint that provides a starting point for common workflows.

**Tool** - A specific action exposed by an integration, such as searching documents, listing files, reading CRM records, creating tasks, or drafting messages.

**Workspace** - The isolated team environment where agents, files, integrations, projects, automations, tasks, settings, and permissions live.
