Define the teammate
Give the Agent a name, role, responsibilities, and the company or team it belongs to.
AI teammates that show up for work.
HQ Agents are persistent company teammates with a role, memory, tools, and responsibilities—not another chat window waiting for a prompt.

Why HQ Agents
A chat waits for someone to open it, explain the task, and keep the conversation moving. That works for one-off requests, but it does not create ownership.
Each HQ Agent has an identity, responsibilities, company context, and approved tools. It can keep continuity across requests and own work that continues over time.
How it works
Give the Agent a name, role, responsibilities, and the company or team it belongs to.
The Agent receives the relevant HQ memory, policies, Skills, and approved connections it needs.
Teammates can reach it in Slack, by email, or through direct assignments.
The Agent can also begin work when a schedule or company event calls for it.
Part of the team
Message an Agent in a channel or thread, bring it into conversations, and keep the work visible to the team.
Every Agent receives an email address, so it can receive requests, reply, and take part in the workflows that already run through the inbox.

Email identity
Give an Agent a real inbox identity so it can receive work, participate in email workflows, and reply as the same persistent teammate people already know from Slack.

Persistent by design
A consistent name, role, and place in the company.
The context to remember its responsibilities and continue the work.
The company tools and connections it needs to do its job.
Ongoing work it can own, not just one request at a time.

Agents vs. HQ Workers
Both are useful, but they solve different problems. Choose an Agent when the company needs a persistent owner. Choose a Worker when an active AI session needs a reusable specialist for one part of the job.
An Agent has a persistent identity, memory, tools, and responsibilities. It communicates in Slack and email and works with the company over time.
A Worker is a file-based, reusable specialist called inside an active AI session for a particular kind of work. It does not have its own Slack or email identity.

HQ Agents
Give every Agent a role, the right context, and a place on the team.
