AI teammates

An AI teammate is an agent you can hand work to the way you would hand it to a colleague: it has a name, a role, memory of how you like things done, the tools for the job, and a place in your chats where it reports back. Krafty Bot is built around that idea.

What makes an agent a teammate?

Six things. Take any one away and you have a tool; keep all six and you have something you can brief on Monday and hear back from on Tuesday.

A name and a role

A Bot is created with a name, a job, and working instructions it saves from a short setup chat. You message it by name, alone or in a group.

Memory

A Bot keeps the notes you ask it to save, separate from chat history, and uses them in every later chat. You can read and edit them.

Its own tools

Connected apps through your sign-ins, web research, and a cloud computer with a desktop and browser for sites that have no integration.

Time

A task keeps running after you close the browser, and routines run on a schedule in your timezone.

Handoffs

A Bot can brief another Bot and pick up the result, and Bots in one group chat pass work between themselves. You can follow every handoff in the thread.

A way to say no

Writes to connected apps and committing steps on the computer wait for your approval. The teammate asks; you decide.

What does a day with an AI teammate look like?

Here is an example of a Chief of Staff Bot's morning routine, as the starter prompt describes it. It is an illustration, not a transcript. At 7:30 the routine posts its prompt into the Bot's chat. The Bot reads your unread Gmail, Slack DMs, and today's calendar, writes a three-bullet brief on each attendee from past emails, drafts replies to the mail that needs an answer today, and lists the threads you promised to follow up on. The drafts stay in Gmail as drafts. Sending you the brief in Slack is a send, so it asks every morning; Krafty never lets a send or post be always allowed. You tap Approve on your phone, read the brief, and send the two drafts that are ready.

Teammate, assistant, employee, or agent?

People use these words for overlapping things. Here is how we use them.

Chat assistant

Answers in a window while you watch. It explains and drafts; it doesn't go and do the thing.

Autonomous agent

Plans and takes multi-step actions toward a goal. Says what the software can do, not how it fits into your work.

AI employee

An agent that owns an ongoing job with a role and a brief. Describes the shape of the work.

AI teammate

An agent with a name, memory, tools, and a place in your chats, that hands work to and from others and asks before it commits. Describes how it fits in.

How do AI teammates work together?

Two ways on Krafty. In a group chat, you put several Bots in one thread, give them the job, and they pass work between themselves while you watch the handoffs. In a brief, one Bot sends another a task and picks up the result when it is done, inside its own turn. Either way, all the Bots on your account share one cloud computer, so a file one Bot downloaded or a site one Bot signed in to is there for the next. Delegated work goes through the same approval gates as anything else, and a handed-off task never gains a permission the original turn did not have.

What an AI teammate still can't do

  • Notice what you did not ask it to look at, or remember what you did not ask it to save.
  • Approve its own work. Nothing in a web page, email, or document can approve an action either; only you can.
  • Keep going forever. A task stops at your usage allowance or step limit, or when a provider is down, and tells you.
  • Guarantee a site will cooperate. Some sites block automation, expire sessions, or need a human step such as a code from your phone, and the Bot hands those to you.

How to start with one teammate

Pick one job you keep putting off. Create a Bot, answer its setup questions, and give it the job in plain language, or paste a starter prompt from the use-case library. Connect the one app it needs when it asks. Check the first result, then say "do this every Friday" and it becomes a routine. Add a second Bot when there is a second job. The free plan includes three bots, three connected apps and three routines, with AI usage and 20 minutes of computer time that renew every month. Pro is $20 a month for up to 50 bots, unlimited connected apps, up to 50 routines, and 50 hours of cloud computer time each billing period, and it starts with a 7-day free trial.

FAQs

An AI agent with a name, a role, memory, its own tools, and a place in your chats, that takes a job, works through it in your apps and on a cloud computer, hands work to and from other Bots, and asks before anything goes out. On Krafty, each Bot is one.
