Product Guide
Understand how Supervity works — core concepts, execution model, and platform building blocks.
This guide explains how Supervity works, independent of role.
Before jumping into use cases, APIs, or advanced configurations, it’s important to understand the core building blocks and how they fit together.
Whether you are a business user, ops/admin, IT, or developer, everyone uses the same underlying primitives:
- operators
- jobs
- auto apps
- integrations
- approvals
- schedules
The difference across roles is what you build, not how the platform works.
How to read this guide
If you’re new to Supervity, follow the order below.
Each page builds on the previous one and establishes a shared mental model.
If you’re experienced, you can jump directly to the section you need — but the concepts remain the same.
Recommended reading order
1. Platform Overview
Start here to understand:
- what Supervity is at a system level
- the execution model of operators, jobs, and auto apps
- how humans, operators, and tools work together
- where integrations, approvals, and schedules fit in
This page defines the language and concepts used everywhere else.
2. Understanding Operators
Learn:
- what operators are
- how operators plan and execute work
- the difference between ad-hoc and saved operators
- how operators interact with workflows, tools, and humans
This explains who does the work inside the platform.
3. Workflows Explained
Covers:
- what a workflow is
- how jobs are executed step by step
- branching, parallelism, and error handling
- human-in-the-loop workflows
This explains how work is structured and executed.
4. Integrations Overview
Learn:
- how external systems are connected
- how integrations are used as tools by operators
- security and permission boundaries
- managing and troubleshooting integrations
All roles rely on integrations, regardless of use case.
5. Scheduling & Automation
Understand:
- how and when workflows run
- schedules, triggers, and webhooks
- retries, failures, and monitoring
- automation patterns across teams
This explains when work runs and how it’s operationalized.
6. Collaboration, employee marketplace & operator chat context
Collaboration, employee marketplace, and operator chat context
Covers:
- organizations, teams, and role-based access
- sharing the same workflow vs sending copies to individuals
- the employee marketplace, review, and employee onboarding into operators, plus operator chat context
- how workspace context affects operator chats, runs, and APIs
Use this when you are ready to operate as a team or to roll out operators to employees from marketplace listings.
What to read next
Once you understand the product guide, you can move to role- or intent-specific sections:
- Guides — approvals, employee marketplace and operators, security, troubleshooting, best practices
- How-to — common workflow patterns and real-world examples
- Reference — APIs, payloads, and platform interfaces
- Tutorials — step-by-step, hands-on walkthroughs
The Product Guide is the foundation all of these build on.
