The Nutshell companies nobody wants to work through
Your Nutshell, worked while you do something else: 6 reads to go through it, 6 writes to change it, and a card in front of every one of those changes.
Open the company. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Nutshell afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing landing on a company until you approve it.
What it can do is exactly what Nutshell exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 12 operations, 6 reads and 6 writes. In practice that means it can update a lead, update a contact and update a company, and work across the companies, contacts and leads.
The Nutshell API stops at Nutshell. 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 companies or ask you for them?
6 of the 12 operations are reads.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can search leads, search contacts and search companies, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from Nutshell's documentation.
The companies are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the contacts. A companion can hold all 12 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of Nutshell admin becomes a queue you review.

What happens before it can update lead?
All 6 write operations wait for you.
A companion can update a lead, update a contact and update a company, and each one is staged on an approval card first: you see the company, the field and the new value before it lands in Nutshell.
Nothing in Nutshell is sent, changed or deleted on your behalf without that click, and a rejected card leaves the company exactly as it was. The gate is the same one on every surface, described at security.

Does the company sweep have to be asked for every time?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the Nutshell companies 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 Nutshell companies sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
