Rhythm AI Connector — Tools & Skills Reference

The Rhythm AI Connector gives your AI assistant two layers of capability: Tools (direct actions it can take inside Rhythm) and Skills (guided, multi-step workflows your AI has been coached to run). This page covers both.

ℹ️ These Tools and Skills are available to users who have connected the Rhythm AI Connector. To get access, email help@rhythmsystems.com.

Overview

Tools are the building blocks — individual actions the AI can take in Rhythm, like reading your goals or creating a task.
Skills are pre-built workflows that combine multiple tools to accomplish a bigger job, like drafting your weekly check-in or rescuing red goals.
You can trigger Skills with natural language — no technical knowledge required.
