Skills are ready-made instructions that change how Viro answers, like "polish this email" or "turn these notes into action items." Use one by typing / in the message box. Viro has 19 built-in skills, and you can create up to 30 of your own.
- Type / in the message box. Keep typing to filter, then pick the skill. It appears as a pill above your message.
- Use the + menu. Select + > Skills to see My skills and All Skills.
- Start from the gallery. In Customize > Skills, select a skill to open a new chat with it ready to go.
Then add what you're working on, like your draft or your notes, and send. A skill applies to that one message. Pick it again to use it on the next one.
- Writing: General Writing, Email Writing, Email Polish, SEO Blog Writing, Social Post Writing, Caption Generator, Story Starter
- Work: Plan My Week, Planning, Resume Tune-up, Meeting Notes → Action Items, Roast My Idea
- Analysis: Document Analysis, Docs Q&A, Data Extraction, Spreadsheet Analysis
- Thinking: Reasoning, Math, Explain Like I'm 5, Coding
Browse them all in Customize > Skills, where you can search and filter by category. Select Make a copy on any built-in skill to start your own version of it.

Sometimes. If your request clearly fits a built-in skill or one of yours, Viro may apply it without you picking it, so a request like "clean up this email" can get Email Polish automatically.
- Be specific. Say what "better" means: tone, length, structure, format.
- Define the output. For example, "Use sections for Decisions, Action Items, and Open Questions."
- One skill, one job. Focused skills are easier to reuse.
- Write for a new teammate. Someone with no context should be able to follow it.
How many skills can I create?
Up to 30 of your own, in addition to the built-in skills.
Does a skill stay on for the whole chat?
No. A skill applies to the next message you send. Pick it again to use it on another message.
Can Viro use a skill without me choosing it?
Yes. If your request clearly fits a built-in skill or one of yours, Viro can apply it automatically.
