Pillar 01 — Teammates

Software teammates for the age of AI agents.

When you put an AI agent in a workflow, it needs help. It needs a teammate that remembers the long arc of a project, knows the team's conventions, and hands off cleanly to a human. We build that teammate.

What we mean by a workmate.

A workmate is the persistent, coordination-aware layer that lives between humans and one or more AI agents. Agents do tasks; workmates make those tasks fit into the rest of someone's working life.

A workmate remembers what the agent forgot. It speaks the team's vocabulary. It hands off, follows up, and keeps the thread going across days, projects, and people. It is the difference between an impressive demo and software a team actually relies on.

The emerging multi-agent coordination research, including work like Anthropic's notes on building a multi-agent research system, points at the same gap from a different angle: agents alone are not enough.

Where workmates earn their keep

Two places we focus.

01

Role and persona orchestration.

Configurable agent personas with consistent behavior across tasks. Same voice, same conventions, every time.

02

Handoff and continuity.

Smooth transitions between agents, and between agents and humans. No lost context, no awkward restarts.
