Loomfield glossary: the Weave, hub, projects, agents, and capabilities
Loomfield uses a few terms that are not everyday words. This glossary defines each one in plain language: the hub, the Weave, projects, sessions, agents, capabilities, methods, earned automation, and private beta. Definitions describe the product as documented in its getting-started guide and site.
What is the hub in Loomfield?
The hub is the Loomfield program running on your main computer. It holds your projects, work history, methods, and AI connections together, launches AI sessions, and gives every screen and supported AI the same place to return for context. Phone, laptop, and tablet access to the hub is rolling out in private beta, and live access needs the hub computer awake and online. See the local AI agent hub guide.
What is the Weave?
The Weave is your private knowledge base inside Loomfield. What you and your sessions create is saved in it, in your home folder on your own computer. The first start takes a few minutes while Loomfield sets it up. It is the place where work and the method behind it stay connected. See AI agent memory.
What is a project?
A project is a body of work whose context stays together: the files, history, decisions, and methods that belong to it. The Projects view exists so that the thread survives the chat. Instead of rebuilding context in each new conversation, a session on that work starts from what the project already knows.
What is a session?
A session is one working conversation with Claude or Codex inside Loomfield. You start it with New session and ask for something real, such as planning your week or summarizing a document. What the session creates is saved in your Weave, so it does not vanish when the chat closes.
What is an agent?
An agent is a helper that runs on its own, usually on a schedule. Loomfield comes with a Weekly Review agent already scheduled for Monday mornings, and you can click Run now to see it work. The Agents page lets you build your own. Anything an agent does remains visible: proposed work, schedules, approvals, and exceptions can be inspected.
What is a capability?
A capability is a named, reusable ability that Loomfield can run, such as reading a source or performing a check, so it does not have to be re-explained each time. Inside Loomfield, agents and capabilities are built on the same underlying building block. The difference to you is mostly how they are used: an agent is a helper that runs on its own, while a capability is an ability that sessions and agents can call on.
What does Loomfield mean by a method?
A method is how a piece of work gets done: where the information was found, which checks were run, what choices and corrections shaped it, and how the result was presented. Loomfield is built to keep the method connected to the finished work, so a related job can reuse it without being forced into the shape of the last one.
What is earned automation?
Earned automation means automation comes last and only for work that has proved stable. The path has four levels: Prompted, Proactive, Supervised, and Automated. You decide how far each kind of work may go, sensitive work can stay hands-on, and routine preparation can run ahead. History, proposed actions, and exceptions stay visible at every level.
What does private beta mean for Loomfield?
Loomfield is not yet generally available. Access is by request, and the app is an early version that is not yet signed by Apple or Microsoft. Some described behavior, including learning from finished work and multi-device access, is in development or rolling out, and the site labels it that way. You can request access from the homepage.
