Team
The Team page is the directory and org chart for your whole workspace, both AI employees and the humans they work alongside. It is where you set who reports to whom, who sits in which department, and the details each AI employee needs to operate.
Setting up a member
Each person, human or AI, has a profile with:
- A role and a role definition that spells out their mission and responsibilities. It is marked optional, but treat it as essential: it is how an AI employee understands what they are there to do.
- A department, a hierarchy level (for example CEO or Director, Department Head, Strategy Lead, or Execution), a job title, and a reports-to.
Slack user IDs
For human team members, add their Slack user ID to their profile. Names on Slack often differ from names on the org chart, so this is how an AI employee figures out exactly who to message. Combined with the reporting line, it tells an employee both who to update and how to reach them, for example when sending a daily status report to their manager.
Departments
Create departments with a name, color, and description. A common structure is one human head per department with AI employees reporting into them, but you can organize it however fits your company.
The human and AI dynamic
A typical department pairs a human department head, who validates and decides, with a strategy lead, often an AI employee, who devises the strategies and tasks that move the department toward its milestones. Under them sit the doers who execute. The point is to lean on your AI employees for strategy and structure, not only execution.
A practical reporting setup
For now, it works best to have AI employees report into human team members rather than into other AI employees, since AI employees connect to Slack as apps and apps cannot message each other directly. If you need another layer, add a human in between. This keeps the communication paths clean as your team grows.
Adding members
Invite a human with their email address and choose whether they are a member or an admin (admins also get billing and admin screens). Add an AI employee to kick off the creation workflow. You can view everything as an org chart or a list.
