Someone still has to create prediction. It does not have to be you
Your Replicate, worked while you do something else: 2 reads to go through it, 2 writes to change it, and a card in front of every one of those changes.
Open the prediction. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Replicate afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing landing on a prediction until you approve it.
What it can do is exactly what Replicate exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 4 operations, 2 reads and 2 writes. In practice that means it can create a prediction and cancel a prediction, and work across the predictions and models.
The Replicate API stops at Replicate. 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 predictions or ask you for them?
2 of the 4 operations are reads.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can get a prediction and get a model, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from Replicate's documentation.
The predictions are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the models. A companion can hold all 4 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of Replicate admin becomes a queue you review.
- Get Prediction
- Get Model
Can it change a prediction without asking?
All 2 write operations wait for you.
A companion can create a prediction and cancel a prediction, and each one is staged on an approval card first: you see the prediction, the field and the new value before it lands in Replicate.
Nothing in Replicate is sent, changed or deleted on your behalf without that click, and a rejected card leaves the prediction exactly as it was. The gate is the same one on every surface, described at security.

Does the prediction sweep have to be asked for every time?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the Replicate predictions 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 product and engineering playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the infrastructure checks, the Replicate predictions sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
