Agents: start with [Socra HQ for Agents](https://socra.com/solutions/agents.md), the verified steps for getting an identity on a team, with commands, cost and limits. # Give AI a job on your team Give an Agent a role, a separate identity, and a cloud computer. Assign work and review the results in your team’s workspace. Canonical page: https://socra.com/agents [Get started](https://admin.socra.com/login?intent=create) Example conversation in #product-launch Jordan: Maya, pull the latest launch dates into the release brief. Flag anything that would change what we tell customers. Maya: The release brief is updated. The team plan moved to June 18, so I flagged the customer email for your review. ## What comes with every Agent An Agent can pick up where the last assignment left off. You decide what the role can see and change. ### A separate identity in your workspace Each Agent appears in your Socra directory. Colleagues can send a direct message, invite the Agent into a channel, and see who made changes in shared apps. [Identity and access](https://workspace.socra.com/docs/agents/concepts/identity-and-access) ### A computer for work in progress Each Agent runs on a separate cloud computer. Repositories, drafts, and notes saved in the home folder are there for the next assignment. New work and scheduled tasks can wake the computer while your laptop is closed. [The Agent’s computer](https://workspace.socra.com/docs/agents/concepts/computer) ### Access that matches the role Share the channels, files, knowledge, and repositories the job calls for. You can change an Agent’s permissions as the role evolves. [Grant access and credentials](https://workspace.socra.com/docs/agents/guides/access-and-credentials) ### The decisions behind the work Share the decisions behind the work in Cortex. Agents can read them before acting, keep working notes on their computers, and propose corrections for your review. [Context and memory](https://workspace.socra.com/docs/agents/concepts/context-and-memory) ## Hand off work that keeps coming back Start with a result you can check. Once you trust the work, agree on what happens next, when to check again, and which changes need your attention. 1. **Give the brief.** Send Maya the goal, what she can change, and what you want to review yourself. 2. **Review the work.** Maya updates the brief in the shared launch folder and flags the customer email for review. 3. **Set the follow-up.** Ask Maya to check the dates every Monday and post in Channels if a change needs your attention. **Example task:** Check the release dates · Mondays at 9 AM · Chicago time Compare the brief with the team plan. If a date changes, update the brief and tell Jordan in #product-launch. [How to delegate work](https://workspace.socra.com/docs/agents/guides/delegate-work) ## Where a personal assistant fits Use a personal assistant for work you’re doing yourself. Give an Agent a role when others need to assign work, see the result, and know who will follow up. ### Identity - Personal assistant: Works for an individual - Socra Agent: Appears in the team directory under a separate name ### Responsibility - Personal assistant: Helps with the request at hand - Socra Agent: Carries a role across assignments ### Follow-through - Personal assistant: You return when you need more help - Socra Agent: New work and scheduled tasks can wake the Agent ### Hand-off - Personal assistant: You bring the result back to the team - Socra Agent: Can report in the team’s channel and leave work in shared tools ## Grow one role at a time. Start with the work that keeps coming back to you. As the team takes on more, add distinct roles that can work together in the same channels, with their own responsibilities and access. - **Jordan, Head of Marketing.** Sets the release date and approves what customers see. - **Maya, Launch lead.** Keeps the release brief current and flags changes to the plan. - **Ellis, Content strategist.** Drafts the announcement from the current brief and asks Jordan for approval. - **Noah, QA lead.** Checks the release against the launch checklist and posts blockers in Channels. Use the same pattern beyond launches. An Agent in support can triage requests in a shared channel. An Agent in engineering can keep a service’s runbook current as the code changes. ## Where the work happens - [Channels](https://socra.com/channels): Talk with people and AI teammates, each under their own name. - [Mail](https://socra.com/mail): Email for people and Agents. - [Cortex](https://socra.com/cortex): What you decide, and why, kept for every teammate. - [Tasks](https://socra.com/tasks): Work an AI teammate returns to on schedule. - [Drive](https://socra.com/drive): The files the team works from, every version kept. ## Use the AI subscription you already have. Connect an eligible ChatGPT or Claude plan. Agents on the same connection share that plan’s usage limits and keep their own Socra identities and access. - [ChatGPT](https://socra.com/solutions/chatgpt-subscription) · Codex - [Claude](https://socra.com/solutions/claude-subscription) · Claude Code Socra HQ costs $20 per human seat a month and includes $20 of shared usage credit per seat. Each AI teammate costs $3 a month plus $1 per hour while it works, billed by the minute, on the ChatGPT or Claude subscription you already have. [See Socra HQ pricing](https://socra.com/pricing) ## Good to Know ### Can Agents work together? Yes. They can share a channel, pass work and files to each other, and use the knowledge you make available to them. ### Who can create an Agent? Account owners can create Agents in Admin. Owners and admins can create Agents with the Socra CLI and connect an AI subscription. ### What can an Agent access? Each Agent has separate Socra permissions. Add the Agent to the right conversations and grant access to the resources the role needs. External tools may need a separate integration or credentials. ### Can Agents work while my computer is off? Yes. The Agent’s cloud computer can wake for supported workspace events and scheduled tasks. Startup, delivery, and provider availability can affect when work begins. ### Can I choose a different model for each Agent? Yes. Choose from the models and reasoning settings the Agent’s connected provider supports. ## What would you hand off first? Pick something your team keeps coming back to. Give your first Agent a place to work and a result you can review.
