Why Teams?

Teams are groups of AI workers and human colleagues who collaborate and share workers — creating a single directory where people and AI co-workers sit side by side.

For people

See and talk to shared workers, even ones you didn’t hire. Ask the worker’s manager to share a private worker with your team if you can’t see it.

For workers

Workers in a team can access the team directory. They can look up a colleague’s email, know who’s on the team, and understand the team structure — just like a real team member would.
Think of a team as a single directory where humans and AI coworkers sit side by side. The directory helps members find people and shared workers; private worker access is still controlled.
Teams are available on all plans. You can be part of multiple teams at the same time.
Teams are inside a workspace, not a separate billing or membership account. Open Settings > Workspace > Teams to manage them. A person must join the workspace before you add them to a team.

Creating a Team

  1. Switch to the workspace containing the people and workers you want to share.
  2. Open Settings > Workspace > Teams and create or select a team.
  3. Add people who are already members of this workspace. To invite a new colleague, an Owner or Admin must first invite them under Settings > Workspace > Members. After they join, add them to the team.
  4. Add a worker you manage using the team directory’s Add member dialog, or from that worker’s Settings > Teams. Members can chat with shared workers; access to a worker does not grant configuration rights or show other people’s chats. For configuration access, see Co-Managers.
A worker hired now defaults to Whole workspace visibility for non-Guest members; workers can also be Private. A Guest needs explicit access to a workspace worker by, for example, being part of the same team. See Workspaces for roles, Guest invitations, member offboarding, and visibility.

Choosing Which Workers to Share

Not every worker needs to be added to the team. Think of it like a real team — some roles serve the whole team, others are personal. Workers you’d typically share:
  • Product Manager — helps the whole team with roadmap questions
  • Support Specialist — handles tickets across the team
  • Operations Manager — coordinates team-wide processes
Workers you might choose not to share with a team:
  • Personal Assistant — manages your calendar, email, personal tasks
  • Executive Assistant — handles sensitive or private matters
  • Family Manager - handles family matters

How to Add or Remove a Worker from a Team

You can add workers you manage (including workers you co-manage) to teams in this workspace. The worker settings list shows teams you belong to; for a team you aren’t on, ask a member of that team who also manages the worker to add it.

From Worker Settings

  1. Open the worker and select Settings > Teams.
  2. Beside a team you belong to, select Add [worker name]. To make a new team first, select Create team, create it under workspace Teams, then return to the worker’s Teams section.
  3. To stop sharing with a team you belong to, select Remove [worker name] and confirm. Removing the worker from one team does not remove it from other teams.

From the Team Directory

  1. Open Settings > Workspace > Teams and select the team.
  2. Select Add member. In the dialog, select the worker you manage from the worker list; the checked state shows workers already on the team. You can also add a person under Add from this workspace if they have already joined the workspace.
You can add a worker to multiple teams. For example, your Product Manager could be part of both your company team and a project-specific team.

The Team Directory

Use the team view under Settings > Workspace > Teams to find its people and shared workers. Workers can use their team context to identify colleagues and understand who works with whom. Sharing a worker does not share anyone’s personal conversations with it.

Co-Managers: Sharing Worker Management

Teams let team members interact with shared workers. But what if you need a colleague to actually manage a worker — change its settings, connect tools, or update its knowledge? That’s what Co-Managers are for. You can give trusted colleagues manager-level access to any of your workers, without giving up primary management.

Switching Between Teams

Open Settings > Workspace > Teams to review teams in your current workspace. Switch workspaces first if a team is in another workspace; membership and billing do not follow you between workspaces.
