Skills Library

Introducing the Gravity Skills Library

To be useful, AI agents require skills – reusable guidance that the agent reads through before taking action.

At Gravity, our teams of climate and energy experts continuously create new skills for the Gravity Agent. We have trained 85+ skills so far, which codify expertise to migrate data, identify cost-saving energy projects, and draft disclosures, among many other uses.

What is a skill?

A skill is detailed written guidance that an agent reads before doing a specific kind of task, including both instructions and context.
