Apollo StrawberrySomeone still has to create or update opportunity. It does not have to be you
Your Apollo, worked while you do something else: 6 reads to go through it, 4 writes to change it, and a card in front of every one of those changes.
Open the contact. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Apollo afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing landing on a contact until you approve it.
What it can do is exactly what Apollo exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 10 operations, 6 reads and 4 writes. In practice that means it can create an or update opportunity, create an or update contact and create an or update account, and work across the contacts, accounts and opportunities.
The Apollo API stops at Apollo. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Does it read the contacts or ask you for them?
6 of the 10 operations are reads.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can search contacts, search accounts and list a metadata, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from Apollo's documentation.
The contacts are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the accounts. A companion can hold all 10 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of Apollo admin becomes a queue you review.

- Enrich Person
Can it change a contact without asking?
All 4 write operations wait for you.
A companion can create an or update opportunity, create an or update contact and create an or update account, and each one is staged on an approval card first: you see the contact, the field and the new value before it lands in Apollo.
Nothing in Apollo is sent, changed or deleted on your behalf without that click, and a rejected card leaves the contact exactly as it was. The gate is the same one on every surface, described at security.

Does the contact sweep have to be asked for every time?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the Apollo contacts pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The sales pipeline playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of pipeline work, the Apollo contacts sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
