What is Pickaxe Wingman?

Pickaxe Wingman is an AI assistant that lives inside your Pickaxe workspace as a floating action button (FAB). Open it from any workspace page, describe what you want in plain English, and it makes the change for you — no terminal, no coding agent setup, no API keys to copy.

Under the hood, Wingman uses the Pickaxe CLI to talk to your account. The CLI is what lets it do real work: build agents, manage knowledge bases, set up access groups, deploy embeds, write custom-coded pages, and more. The difference is that everything runs from inside Pickaxe, with your workspace credentials already wired up.

Where you'll find it

Wingman is always one click away while you're inside a workspace. You'll see the FAB:

• Inside the Agent Builder while editing an agent
• On Deployments, Access Groups, Users, Documents, Memory, Pages, and Portals
• Anywhere else you're working on the contents of a single workspace

You won't see it on the higher-level account pages like billing, your global account settings, or the workspace picker. Wingman is scoped to the workspace you're currently in — so when you ask it to "add a new agent" or "invite ten users," it knows exactly which workspace you mean.

How it works

You don't have to install anything or paste in a key. Wingman:

1. Picks up your workspace credentials automatically. When you open the FAB, it inherits the API key for the workspace you're already viewing — no auth login step.
2. Translates your request into CLI commands under the hood. Ask for "a customer-support agent that knows our help docs" and Wingman runs the right combination of pickaxe build, pickaxe docs add, pickaxe deploy create, etc.
3. Shows you what it's about to change before applying it, so you can review and approve.
4. Has full access to the same surface area as the CLI — agents, deployments, embed scripts, custom pages, portals, actions, MCP servers, knowledge bases, users, access groups (including pricing tiers and upgrade paths), and memory.

If you ever need to fall back to a coding agent for something more bespoke, the Pickaxe CLI doc covers that flow.

Use cases

Wingman is good at almost anything you can describe. Here are some patterns that work well.

Spin up a new agent end-to-end

"Build me a 'Pricing Concierge' agent. Use the GPT-4 class model, give it access to our pricing PDF and the FAQ on our site, and add the 'send email' action so it can follow up after a chat. Then deploy it as an embed on our marketing site."

Wingman handles the agent creation, knowledge base attachment, action wiring, and the deployment in one pass — and shows you the final embed snippet to paste into your site.

Customize a deployment with raw code

The page editor and embed editor both accept custom HTML/CSS/JS. Wingman is genuinely powerful here because it can write that code for you and inject it directly:

"Style my embed so it looks like an iMessage chat — blue bubbles for the user, grey bubbles for the agent, rounded corners, and a subtle 'typing…' animation while the agent thinks."

"On the embed, hide the default header and add a thin top bar that pulls our customer's first name from the URL and says 'Hey {name}, ask me anything about your account.'"

"Make the chat input glow when the user hasn't typed for 30 seconds, and gently nudge them with a suggested question."

Build a custom-coded page

This is one of Wingman's most powerful features. Pages aren't just static — Wingman can hand you a raw HTML/CSS/JS page that does real work, then publish it as part of your portal.

"Build me a Page that shows a multi-step quiz: 5 questions about the user's industry, then routes them to one of three agents — 'Marketing', 'Operations', or 'Finance' — based on their answers. Use our brand colors and embed the right agent on the final screen."

"Make a Page that pulls in a Calendly embed, our pricing calculator, and a small chat widget for our 'Onboarding Concierge' agent — all stitched together into a single onboarding hub."

"Build me a Page with a comparison grid of our three agents, with a 'Try it' button under each one that opens that agent's chat in a popup."

Anything you'd normally hire a developer to glue together — landing pages, gated content, interactive calculators, multi-agent flows — Wingman can ship in a few minutes.

Bulk user and access management

"Invite this list of 47 emails to the 'Premium' access group. Skip anyone who's already a member."

"Find every user who hasn't logged in in 90 days, drop them to the 'Inactive' group, and bump their monthly limit down to 10 uses."

"Set up a new tiered pricing structure on the Member access group: 100 credits for $5, 250 for $9.99, and 1,000 for $29. Make sure the upgrade modal points to the new buy-more-uses flow."

Manage knowledge bases and memory

"Pull every URL listed in this Notion doc and add them to the 'Sales Agent' knowledge base. Tell me which ones failed."

"Create a workspace memory called 'Brand voice' that says 'friendly, expert, never salesy' and attach it to all of our customer-facing agents."

Triage and review

"Show me the last 24 hours of conversations from the 'Support' agent, group them by topic, and flag any where the user seemed frustrated."

"Diff what's in my workspace right now vs. what was here a week ago and summarize the changes."

Quick fixes you'd otherwise do by clicking

"Rename the 'demo-bot' agent to 'Sales Demo Bot,' make it private, and unpublish it from the marketing portal."

"On the 'Recipes' agent's direct link, raise the daily usage limit to 200 and change the upgrade message to 'Upgrade to Pro to keep cooking.'"

Tips for working with Wingman

• Be specific about scope. Wingman acts on the workspace you opened it from. If you want to copy something between workspaces, switch to the destination first.
• Review before you apply. Wingman previews the changes it's about to make. Skim the diff, especially when it's touching live agents, paid users, or deployment scripts.
• Lean on it for the boring stuff. Bulk user invites, repetitive knowledge base updates, and "match the styling on the other embed" are the kinds of jobs it eats in seconds.
• Use it for prototypes. Ask Wingman to build a rough version, then iterate. "Make it more playful," "tighten the prompt," and "swap the model to a faster one" all work as follow-ups.
• Pair it with OpenClaw. If your workspace is on OpenClaw, Wingman can take advantage of multi-model routing, isolated execution, and the full action library.
