# Expert Capabilities

> What Braintrust experts can do, where they can run, and practical limits.

Not every expert has every capability. Use this page as a high-level checklist.

## Common Platform Integrations

| **Google Chat**       | Respond in DM and group Spaces                            |
| **Notion**            | Read/update pages and databases                           |
| **Custom APIs (MCP)** | Call external/internal services through custom connectors |

## Input and Output Types

| Type       | Supported                                                                               |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Input**  | Google Docs/Sheets, PDFs, text files, common images, selected attachments               |
| **Output** | Text responses, structured summaries, links to created docs/sheets, tool-driven actions |

## Conversation and Collaboration

| Capability               | Notes                                                       |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Streaming responses**  | Replies appear progressively in chat                        |
| **Multi-turn context**   | Recent context is used for follow-up questions              |
| **Group Space routing**  | `@BrainTrust` routes to best-fit expert in that group Space |
| **Multi-expert support** | Multiple experts can coexist in one group Space             |

## Automation

| Capability            | Notes                                                |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **Cron triggers**     | Run tasks on schedules                               |
| **Calendar triggers** | Run tasks based on calendar events                   |
| **DM/Space delivery** | Trigger output can be delivered to DM or group Space |

## Practical Limits

* Tool access depends on configured credentials.
* Behavior quality depends heavily on prompt quality.
* Large/complex requests may take longer to complete.
* Some capabilities are expert-specific, not global defaults.

## Code Execution (Sandbox)

Experts can execute Python code in an isolated sandbox environment.

| Aspect            | Details                                                                                         |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Language**      | Python                                                                                          |
| **Isolation**     | Fully sandboxed — no access to host system                                                      |
| **Use cases**     | Data processing, calculations, chart generation, file transformation                            |
| **File handling** | Sandbox outputs files back to the agent filesystem; files can be exported as downloadable links |
| **Input files**   | Sandbox has access to `input_files` passed from the agent workspace                             |

The sandbox is ideal for tasks that need computation beyond what the LLM can do inline — number crunching, data visualization, or transforming file formats.

## Memory and Context

| Type                     | How It Works                                                                                                                              |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Conversation history** | Recent turns are included in context automatically. The number of turns is bounded by the session history setting.                        |
| **Long-term memory**     | Experts use Mem0 to remember user preferences, past decisions, and context across sessions. Memory is per-user.                           |
| **Knowledge base (RAG)** | If a Google Drive folder or knowledge base is configured, relevant documents are retrieved via semantic search and injected into context. |

Long-term memory allows experts to personalize over time — remembering your preferred report format, your team's naming conventions, or decisions from past conversations.
