Agents and cyberprograms: These are used in cyberdecks and are explained in Programs, p. 243 CRB.
Datasofts: Datasofts encompass a wide variety of information files, databases containing information on everything from hydraulic fracturing to 18th century romantic poetry. An appropriate datasoft gives you a +1 bonus to your Mental limit on related Knowledge Skill Tests.
Mapsoft: Mapsoft programs feature detailed information about a particular area, from streets to business/ residential listings to topographical, census, GPS and environmental data. An interactive interface allows you to quickly determine the best routes and directions, locate the nearest spot of your choice, or create your own customized maps. If a wireless link is maintained, the map automatically self-updates with the latest data from GridGuide. Of course, this feature also means that the mapsoft can be used to track your location. At the gamemaster’s discretion, mapsofts provide a +1 limit bonus to Navigation Tests made to navigate the area they cover.
Shopsofts: Shopping apps like Clothes Horse, Caveat Emptour, and Guns Near Me provide pricing breakdowns and user reviews for comparison shopping purposes, both for standard goods and black market purchases. Shopsofts self-update regularly to stay current. An appropriate shopsoft—one exists for each type of product like electronics, firearms, melee weapons, armor, et cetera—provides a +1 bonus to your Social limit for all Availability and Negotiation tests you make to buy and sell those items.
Tutorsofts: These virtual private tutors aid you in learning a specific skill. The tutorsoft makes Instruction Tests with a dice pool equal to its Rating x 2. Tutorsofts cannot teach skills based on Magic or Resonance.
