Integrations
What Ari can connect to: integrations, your own keys, and the browser
No assistant has an integration for everything. Ari has three ways in: native integrations, your own keys on Ari's computer, and a live browser on the real site.

Native integrations
Connect Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Tasks, Google Drive, Todoist, and Notion from your account. Ari can search your mail and draft, send, or file replies, read and change your calendar, keep a task list in sync, find and share files, and work in your Notion pages, all when you ask.
You can also add any calendar feed link or iCloud Calendar so those events show up in Ari's view of your day. Those are read-only.
Your own keys, on Ari's computer
Many services have an API but no Ari integration. Save the API key or token on your Passwords page, where it is encrypted in your private vault. When a task on Ari's computer needs it, Ari asks first: allow once, always, or deny. The key is passed to the program without being shown in the chat, and you can revoke the permission later.
If a task needs a key you have not saved, Ari sends a link to the Passwords page instead of asking you to paste the key into a message.
Skills that teach Ari a tool
A skill can teach Ari how to work with a service: which endpoints to call, what a good request looks like, what to check before writing. Ari searches the open skills.sh library from chat and installs the one you pick after a safety review, or writes a new skill for you.
Skills with scripts run on Ari's computer, and a script can call a service with the API key you saved and allowed. Skills and your keys together let Ari work with almost any app that has an API.
The browser for everything else
When a service has no integration and no API you want to use, Ari can do the task on the real website with a live browser: sign in with a login from your vault, click through the steps, and fill the form.
You can watch live and take over anytime, and Ari asks you to confirm before buying, sending, or submitting anything.
What Ari does not do
Ari does not connect to MCP servers, and there is no button to register a brand-new integration. Smart-home control is not a product feature today. Strava, Apple Reminders, and more apps are on the roadmap.
Frequently asked questions
Which apps does Ari integrate with?
Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Tasks, Google Drive, Todoist, and Notion, plus read-only calendar feed links and iCloud Calendar.
Can I give Ari an API key?
Yes. Save the key on your Passwords page. Ari's computer can use the key with a program only after you allow it, once or always, and you can revoke that later.
What if a site has no integration?
Ari can use a live web browser on the real site. You can watch and take over, and Ari asks before spending money or submitting anything.
Does Ari support MCP servers?
No. Ari connects through native integrations, your saved keys, skills, and the live browser.
