What each tool does, how ErgoAI and your AI agents differ, and which screens have an AI button of their own.
ErgoAI, inside Ergothiki, and your AI agents — the AI you already use, Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot for example, over MCP — work with the same tools. They act with your role's rights and only in the areas the office has opened. The tables on this page are drawn from Ergothiki's tools themselves: a new tool shows up here on its own.
