Luma Extensions

Intro to Extensions in Luma

An extension links Luma to a tool where your work already lives — Google Drive, Dropbox, Frame.io, Box, or Airtable — so Luma can bring that material straight into your workflow instead of you downloading, re-uploading, and copy-pasting between tabs.

Read-and-add

Extensions are built on a read-and-add model. Luma can read, import, create, upload, and save work — but it can never delete, rename, or overwrite anything in your connected account.

  • ✅ Find and read your files
  • ✅ Pull media and documents onto the canvas
  • ✅ Save finished work back to the connected service
  • ✅ Create or update records (Airtable)
  • ❌ Delete your files
  • ❌ Rename your files
  • ❌ Overwrite existing files

Those destructive actions simply aren't available to the Agent. This is the core trust principle: extensions help Luma work with the material you choose — they don't take control of your storage.

The five extensions

Google Drive

Best for: Specific Docs, Sheets, Slides & individual files you pick for Luma

Dropbox

Best for: Finding files across your storage by name (best search)

Frame.io

Best for: Footage, cuts, and timecoded review feedback

Box

Best for: Enterprise folder storage (browse-based import/export)

Airtable

Best for: Structured records — trackers, asset lists, databases

How connecting works

  1. Go to the Extensions page to manage extensions.
  2. When you connect, Luma sends you through the service's normal sign-in (standard OAuth). You log in on the provider's own window and approve a permission screen there.
  3. Luma never sees or stores your password — it receives an access token scoped to what you approved. Each connection card shows which account it's tied to (usually the email).

Good to know:

  • Connections are personal and per-team. Your teammates don't share your connection or see your files, and connecting a service in one Luma team doesn't carry over to another.
  • Admins control availability. Every extension is off by default; a team admin decides which are available. On enterprise teams an extension may appear grayed out until an admin enables it.

Pause vs. Disconnect

  • Pause = a temporary off switch. Hides the extension's tools from the Agent but keeps the connection alive — resume later with no new login.
  • Disconnect = removes access. Revokes Luma's access (usually at the provider level too).

Use pause when you just want the Agent to leave it alone for now. Use disconnect when you want access gone.

Use Extensions With The Agent

No special commands. Talk in plain language:

Read the Google Doc I picked and turn it into a shot list.

Find the file called 'Q3 brief' in my Dropbox and make a 5m slide deck with speaker notes.

Summarize the review feedback on my latest Frame.io cut with the timecodes.

Pull the product list from my Airtable and make a visual for each record.

Save this finished image back to my Box folder.

What each extension can (and can't) do

Google Drive

  • Can: Search and read files you've picked for Luma; read Docs/Sheets/Slides as text; import files to the canvas; save new files back; create new native Google Docs.
  • Can't: See your whole Drive; modify, delete, rename, or overwrite files.
  • Know this: Drive uses a narrow permission model — Luma only sees files you explicitly pick in the Google file picker (plus files Luma created). The #1 confusion is "why can't Luma find my file?" — usually it just hasn't been picked yet. Fix: pick the file, don't reconnect. Google-native files come in as editable Office equivalents (Docs→Word, Sheets→Excel, Slides→PowerPoint).

Dropbox

  • Can: Search your whole Dropbox by file name (the strongest search of the five); browse folders; read files; import to canvas; save files back. Same-name saves are auto-renamed, never overwritten.
  • Can't: Modify, delete, rename, or overwrite files. On free plans, can't search inside file contents (a Dropbox tier limit).
  • Know this: Dropbox grants whole-account access at connect time, which is why it's great for "find that file" workflows.

Frame.io

  • Can: Browse accounts, workspaces, projects, folders; import video/media to the canvas; upload finished videos back; read review comments with exact timecodes; see version stacks. Ideal for creative review.
  • Can't: Search (navigate via folders/projects instead); interpret drawn annotations (it knows one exists but not what it depicts).
  • Know this: Freshly uploaded media may still be transcoding — importing immediately may need a retry. On reconnect, Adobe may skip the permission screen (it remembers prior approval) — that's provider behavior.

Box

  • Can: Browse folders; read files; import to canvas; upload new files back; large/chunked uploads (above 50 MB).
  • Can't: Search (browse-only); delete, rename, or overwrite.
  • Know this: Box adds an extra security layer — each session Luma uses downgraded, short-lived credentials without delete/rename permissions, so the read-and-add guarantee is enforced by Box itself. Freshly uploaded files may need a moment (the Agent retries).

Airtable

  • Can: Read bases, table schemas, records, and comments; create and update records (up to 10 per operation); download attachments to the canvas; upload new attachments.
  • Can't: Delete records; free-text search (filters by field values instead); return more than 100 rows per request.
  • Know this: Updates are additive and controlled. The 100-row cap is intentional — for big tables, filter to the relevant records. Rate-limited to 5 requests/sec per base (auto-handled). On disconnect, Airtable has no remote-revoke API, so the app may linger in your Airtable settings up to 60 days — remove it manually to speed that up.

Which extension should you use?

  • Google Drive — work with specific Docs, Sheets, Slides, or files you've picked.
  • Dropbox — have the Agent find files across your storage by name.
  • Frame.io — bring in footage, review cuts, and summarize timecoded feedback.
  • Box — enterprise folder storage with browse-based import/export and strong permissions.
  • Airtable — structured records: trackers, asset lists, production databases.

Common questions

Do I need to be technical? No. If you can pick or share a file and describe what you want, you can use extensions.

Is my material safe? Yes — Luma never sees your password, access is scoped to what you approve, extensions can't delete or overwrite anything, and you can pause or disconnect anytime.

Why can't Luma find my file? Usually extension-specific: on Drive, the file hasn't been picked yet; on Frame.io/Box there's no search (browse instead); on Airtable, filter by field values. It can also be provider permissions or file size.

Can Luma change or delete things in my account? No. Extensions are read-and-add — they can add and save work, never delete, rename, or overwrite.

Key takeaway

Extensions let Luma work with files, media, review notes, and structured data from the tools you already use — while keeping access personal, permissioned, and non-destructive. Each one is tuned for a different job: picked Drive files, Dropbox search, Frame.io review, Box storage, or Airtable records.
