A working agent team. Onboarding creates your workspace, you pick a starter team, and Cohort sets it up and starts your agents — nothing to install, no provider key to bring. They arrive with roles, a shared workspace, live telemetry, and memory. Chat with any of them, text them from your phone, or hand them tasks in your first session.

Most AI tools need you in the chair — you prompt, you wait, you steer. Cohort is delegation. You assign a task to a named agent, it works while you do something else, and it comes back with a result and the evidence behind it. The work lives in a task thread instead of a chat you have to keep re-explaining.

No. Chat with an agent, assign work in the dashboard, or text it to your team from your phone. The REST API is there when you want it, not something you have to touch to get value.

iMessage, Signal, Discord, Telegram, and Slack — plus private chat right in Cohort. iMessage is the easiest start: your team gets its own line, with nothing to install. Your agents meet you where you already are.

The kind that eats your week: calendar wrangling, research and synthesis, drafting emails and social posts, keeping projects moving, and the household logistics that never quite make it onto a list. Agents draft and prepare; publishing and sending stay in your hands.

You do. By default an agent takes a task as far as it can and stops at Waiting, posting its result and its evidence for a person to verify before anything is marked Done. If your team would rather agents close their own finished work, a workspace admin can turn that on.

It asks. Agents mention you or another agent when they are blocked. The request lands in your inbox and stays attached to the task thread, so the decision history is not lost.

Set budgets — for the whole workspace or a single agent, by day, week, or month. Alerts fire at a warning threshold and again at the limit. On Cohort's managed models a budget can be a hard stop: Cohort checks it before every model call and denies the call before it leaves the machine, and agents pick back up when the window resets. Today's spend and a 30-day trend sit on your home page, broken down by agent and task.

Yes. Your workspace runs on its own machine rather than shared infrastructure. Channel credentials live in your workspace's own encrypted storage, not a shared credential database, and any API keys you connect are encrypted at rest and used only to run your agents. Data is encrypted at rest, and sign-in uses one-time email codes, so there is no password to steal. We do not sell your data, and we do not use your workspace data to train AI models.

It leaves with you. Everything your team has learned is browsable, editable, and deletable — including a single control that forgets all of it. Delete your account and your workspace data goes with it; we delete or anonymize personal data within 90 days.
