# Every tool your people use, in one place

> Substrait gives every employee a Home page with their own tools on it, and an Explore directory of what colleagues chose to share. Finding a tool never grants access to it.

A company that lets people build gets thirty tools in two years, built by different people. Substrait gives every employee one Home page with their own tools, and an Explore directory of what colleagues chose to share, instead of a wiki of links nobody keeps.

## Home

Home holds the tools you own, hold a role on, are named on, or pinned.
Each one says why it is there.
Hiding a tool tidies your page and changes nobody's access.

## Explore

Explore lists the tools whose owners chose to make them discoverable.
Discoverable is off by default and set for each environment.
Explore shows each tool's owner, so people know whom to ask, and filters by country, tag and kind: agents, web apps, knowledge bases and Slates.
When an owner makes a tool discoverable, Substrait drafts its description with AI for the owner to edit.

## Discovery grants nothing

Home and Explore only show and arrange tools.
Who can open a tool stays with that tool's own sign-in.
Pinning cannot widen access, and hiding cannot narrow it.

## The inbox

Notices and approvals reach each person through Substrait's communications centre, whose inbox sits on Home.

- [Right-sized authority for every person](https://substrait.build/capabilities/roles-and-access/): Substrait keeps four kinds of access apart: data groups for what a person may see and read, capability groups for what they may do on the platform, app roles for what they may do on one tool, and each tool's own sign-in.

Every tool built on Substrait calls it, so no tool builds its own. The company hooks in its own Slack, Google Chat, Teams, email or WhatsApp, and each person chooses the channel.
