Real workflows for real roles. Each section below shows how Calanthe fits into a typical day's work — including which model to reach for and what a multi-step workflow actually looks like.
Debug stack traces, review architecture decisions, refactor legacy code, write tests, generate boilerplate. Calanthe pairs especially well with the daily reality of "I half-remember how this should work."
Paste a stack trace and the surrounding code. Calanthe reads both, asks clarifying questions when needed, walks through the call chain, and proposes the fix with reasoning.
Recommended model: Calanthe Standard (or Plus for very large traces)
Drop in a design doc or a directory tree. Calanthe flags the parts that'll bite you later — premature optimization, missing failure modes, abstractions that don't pay rent.
Recommended model: Calanthe Plus (handles large diffs / multiple files in 1M context)
Point Calanthe at a function. It generates a test suite covering the happy path, edge cases, and the boring null-input cases people forget. Outputs in the test framework you already use.
Recommended model: Calanthe Standard
Hand Calanthe a 500-line function and ask for a clean version. It returns the refactor with notes on what behavior was preserved, what was deliberately changed, and where you should look twice.
Recommended model: Calanthe Plus
Drafts, edits, ideation, multiple voices, format transformations. Calanthe treats your voice as the default and adapts to what you've already written.
Paste a draft and tell Calanthe what to cut. It returns a tighter version that keeps your structure and key claims, with a note explaining what it removed and why.
Recommended model: Calanthe Standard
Calanthe reads your draft and proposes 3-5 framings, each with a one-line "you'd write it like this" example. Pick the one that lands and run with it.
Recommended model: Calanthe Plus
Paste sample writing in a voice you want to mimic. Calanthe absorbs cadence, vocabulary, sentence rhythm, and reproduces it on whatever new content you give it.
Recommended model: Calanthe Standard or Plus
Long-form blog → 5-tweet thread. Meeting transcript → action items. Product brief → press release. Calanthe moves your content between formats while preserving the substance.
Recommended model: Calanthe Standard
Long-document analysis, comparative synthesis, literature reviews, structured extraction. Plus is purpose-built for this work — 1M tokens of context lets you load real research bodies in a single conversation.
Drop in 5-10 PDFs. Calanthe identifies points of agreement, disagreement, and what each paper assumes that the others don't. Output is a structured summary you can actually cite.
Recommended model: Calanthe Plus (1M context)
Give Calanthe a topic and a set of papers. It writes a thematic literature review with proper attribution, identifies gaps in the literature, and proposes the questions worth answering next.
Recommended model: Calanthe Plus
"Pull every reported drug interaction from these 12 PDFs into a CSV." Calanthe reads, normalizes, and outputs structured data with provenance.
Recommended model: Calanthe Plus
Walk Calanthe through your study design or analysis pipeline. It plays critical reviewer — flags assumptions, identifies confounds, suggests robustness checks.
Recommended model: Calanthe Plus or Pro
Strategy work, market research, draft contracts, product spec, pitch deck — Calanthe as the senior generalist on your team.
"Here's our tier structure and target margins. Compare to top three competitors. Tell me what we'll get pushed back on."
Recommended model: Calanthe Plus
Tell Calanthe the situation, the customer's relationship to you, what you need them to do. Get back something a human would actually send.
Recommended model: Calanthe Standard
Walk Calanthe through your business model end-to-end. Ask "what am I assuming that probably isn't true?" — it'll list them.
Recommended model: Calanthe Plus or Pro
Drop in three vendor agreements. Calanthe shows the diff in plain language — payment terms, liability caps, termination clauses, anything weird buried in section 14.
Recommended model: Calanthe Plus (long context)
Meeting summaries, action-item extraction, shared prompt libraries, workflow automation. Calanthe as a force multiplier for the work that "doesn't really fit anywhere."
Paste the meeting transcript. Calanthe returns: summary, decisions made, action items grouped by owner, open questions, and a list of who said what (so you can verify).
Recommended model: Calanthe Standard or Plus
Hand Calanthe a folder of internal docs. It produces a starter onboarding brief — what each system does, who owns it, the gotchas, the open questions.
Recommended model: Calanthe Plus
Calanthe helps your team build and maintain a shared library of vetted prompts — "how we summarize a customer call," "how we draft a release note." Living, version-controlled, searchable.
Recommended model: Any tier
Power-plan agents can take repetitive multi-step work off your plate — triage incoming bugs, draft status updates from notes you provide, classify support tickets, review error logs you paste in and draft a clear summary with suggested fixes.
Recommended model: Calanthe Pro (agents available on Power tier)
If you live in your terminal, you'll feel at home. Connect remote MCP servers, build agents, run multi-step workflows — Calanthe becomes the conductor. Bring-your-own-keys support is coming to Power.
Calanthe speaks Model Context Protocol. Remote services that expose an MCP server can be connected by advanced users.
Available on: Power tier
Define the goal, give Calanthe the tools, let it work. Agents handle multi-call sequences — query, decide, act, report. You get the result without the busywork.
Available on: Power tier
BYOK on the Power plan will let you connect your own provider API keys — usage flows through your account, costs land on your bill, Calanthe handles the orchestration.
Status: coming soon to the Power plan.
Pro+ and Power get full Python sandbox — analyze data, generate plots, run simulations, transform spreadsheets. Whatever you'd reach for in a Jupyter notebook, Calanthe can run.
Available on: Pro+ and Power
Start free, upgrade when you need a bigger model or more headroom.
