# What is Orbit Pilot

**Orbit Pilot** (Orbit Copilot) is a **chat-only control plane for Stellar DeFi**.

Stellar DeFi is powerful and fragmented: each protocol has its own UI, wallet flow, and mental model. Orbit collapses that into one conversation.

## What it does

You type what you want (swap, lend, farm, predict, open a perp, mint an NFT, bridge USDC) and Orbit:

1. **Reads** live balances and positions from Horizon, Soroban, and protocol APIs
2. **Plans** the intent (deterministic commands first; LLM for free-form questions)
3. **Builds** the unsigned transaction
4. **Asks you to sign** (Freighter or Orbit embedded wallet)
5. **Confirms** from the chain, never from a fake local ledger

## What it is not

* Not a custodial exchange: you keep the keys
* Not a single-protocol UI: protocols are adapters behind chat
* Not mainnet (yet): practice freely on **Stellar Testnet** with Friendbot funds

## Why it matters

Capital and attention sit across wallets and apps. Orbit makes Stellar strategies reachable with one sentence:

```
swap 10 XLM to USDC
```

```
supply 50 USDC on Blend
```

```
bridge 5 USDC from Arc to Stellar
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://orbit-pilot.gitbook.io/orbit-pilot-docs/product/what-is-orbit-pilot.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
