Hire a coworker

Hiring adds a new AI coworker to your roster. The wizard is built around an outcome rather than a configuration form, because describing what you want done is something you can do accurately, and specifying how it should be done is not.

The wizard#

Describe the outcome

One field, plain language. “Keep our supplier records current and flag anything expiring in the next 60 days.”

Answer the interview

The wizard asks what it needs to know, one question at a time, based on what you wrote. Skipping a question is allowed. It makes an assumption and tells you what it assumed.

Review the blueprint

You get a readable description of the coworker: its remit, what it is allowed to do, and what it will check with you about first.

Give it a name and a face

Cosmetic, and worth doing anyway. A team of named colleagues is easier to reason about than a list of functions.

The coworker appears on your roster immediately and can be given work straight away.

What you are never asked to choose#

There is no model picker. Your team routes each piece of work to the right capability tier itself, which is why a model improvement reaches your workspace without you re-configuring anything.

A narrow remit outperforms a broad one. Two coworkers with clear jobs beat one that does everything, and they are far easier to judge when something goes wrong.

If something goes wrong#

  • The blueprint does not match what you meant. Go back and change the outcome sentence rather than editing the blueprint. The rest is derived from it.
  • The new coworker is not picking up work. It needs work assigned, or tagged agent-ready. See Tasks.
  • You cannot open the wizard. Hiring needs the right role. See Roles and permissions.
