# Skills

> Skills are the individual capabilities Dume can call on: sending an email, searching the web, generating a connect link. Manage them from the Skill Library.

A skill is a defined capability Dume uses during a conversation: sending an email, researching the web, generating an OAuth connect link. It's a different layer from an [integration](/integrations/overview) — connecting Gmail gives Dume access to your account, and a skill like Email sending is what it does with that access.

Dume ships with a set of pre-packaged skills, and you can add your own.

The Skill Library, where you manage which skills are active, is available in the Cowork desktop app. See [Web app vs. Cowork desktop](/product/web-vs-cowork) for what else differs between the two.
