Platform

Workforce

The seven named agents are the verbs of the platform. Each agent owns a slice of work, exposes a set of skills, and runs against the tier you pick in the composer. Most days you do not need to think about which agent runs your message. The platform routes for you. When you want a specific shape of work, the slash command picker drops you straight onto the right agent.

Overview

At a glance
How many agents
Seven named, each with a clear domain
How to invoke
Slash key in the composer, or plain English
Skills per agent
Anywhere from five to two dozen, depending on the agent
Routing
Automatic when you do not use a slash command
Tier applies
Whatever the picker is set to: Minuet, Allegro, or Forte
Composability
Agents call each other when one needs work from another

Think of the seven as colleagues with different jobs. You would not ask the engineer to draft a sales email, and you would not ask the lawyer to research your competitors. Same here. The router picks the right one most of the time. When you want to be explicit, name them.

How to pick an agent

Quick map from the kind of work you want done to the agent that owns it.

I want toUse
Research a market, a person, a company, a topic/cortex
Write cold emails, follow-ups, LinkedIn DMs/specter
Move a deal forward, qualify, prepare for a call/striker
Draft a blog post, plan a launch, write social copy/pulse
Build a feature, fix a bug, edit code in a repo/sentinel
Publish content across channels, schedule posts/amplify
Draft a contract, review terms, generate an NDA/counsel

Cortex

The researcher. Surfaces facts, profiles people and companies, summarises long sources.

Cortex is the agent you call when you need to know something before you act. It runs web searches, reads the result pages, cross-checks the facts, and writes a short brief. Cortex never invents sources. If it cannot find a fact, it says so.

Common use cases

Ask Cortex toWhat you get back
Profile a company before a sales callSnapshot of size, funding, recent moves, key people, and what they care about
Research a topic for a blog postBullet points of the key arguments with citations for each
Find five competitors and compare themA score card canvas with the dimensions you asked for filled in
Read a long PDF and pull the conclusionsA short summary with quoted sections for the parts that matter
Investigate a person before a meetingBackground, public posts, anything they have written on the subject
Tip
For research that should live across sessions, ask Cortex to save the findings to Brain. The next turn that needs the same context retrieves them automatically.

Specter

The outbound writer. Crafts cold emails, follow-ups, LinkedIn messages, and sequences.

Specter writes outreach in your voice. It pulls the recipient profile from Brain or from a Cortex research run, matches the tone to your brand voice settings, and gives you a draft you can send. Specter also drafts whole sequences: a first touch, two follow-ups, a breakup message, all coherent.

Common use cases

Ask Specter toWhat you get back
Write a cold email to a specific personSubject line plus body, with a hook tied to something specific about them
Draft a five-step sequence for a target listFive messages with timing recommendations and clear variation between them
Rewrite this email to be shorter and sharperA tighter version preserving the asks but cutting filler
Follow up on a deal that has gone quietSoft, value-led nudge using context from the deal record
Personalise this template for fifty leadsA canvas with one row per lead and the personalised opener for each
Note
Specter respects whatever brand voice profile lives in Brain. If you have not set one yet, Specter writes in a clear neutral founder voice and asks you to refine it on first reply.

Striker

The deal driver. Qualifies prospects, runs discovery, builds proposals, closes.

Striker thinks about deals the way a strong AE does. It looks at the Deals tab, picks up where the last conversation left off, and proposes the next action. It can prepare you for a call, draft a proposal, write follow-up notes that capture what was said, and update the deal record so the pipeline view stays honest.

Common use cases

Ask Striker toWhat you get back
Prep me for the call with X tomorrowA pre-call brief with the recap, open questions, and the ideal outcome
Score this deal honestlyQualification score against the criteria you set, with the weak spots flagged
Build a proposal for the project we discussedA canvas with scope, timeline, pricing options, and the assumptions called out
Update the deal record after the callA clean note summarising decisions, next steps, and the new stage

Pulse

The content writer. Long-form posts, social copy, launch plans, newsletter editions.

Pulse writes content meant to be read. Blog posts, LinkedIn threads, newsletter editions, launch announcements. It plans the angle first, drafts the post, and offers variations. Pulse pulls from Brain for facts and voice so every piece sounds like you.

Common use cases

Ask Pulse toWhat you get back
Write a 1500-word post on a topicA full draft with an opening hook, structured sections, and a strong close
Plan our next product launchA launch plan canvas with channels, messaging per channel, and a timeline
Turn this blog post into a LinkedIn threadSix to ten posts, each standalone, with the through-line preserved
Draft this week's newsletterSection-by-section draft pulling from recent activity and a clear theme
Give me three headlines for this pieceThree options ranked by likely engagement with the reasoning

Sentinel

The engineer. Reads code, writes code, edits repositories, runs tests.

Sentinel does the work you would otherwise hand to a senior engineer. It can look at a codebase, propose a change, write the patch, run the tests, and iterate until they pass. It uses the Computer tab to do its work so you can watch it live.

Common use cases

Ask Sentinel toWhat you get back
Add a feature to the repo I just clonedA working patch, the tests that prove it works, and a short summary of choices
Fix the failing test on this branchRoot cause diagnosis plus a focused fix that does not touch unrelated code
Refactor this module into smaller piecesA staged refactor with each commit explained
Write a script that does XA self-contained script with a clear command-line interface and a short doc
Review my pull requestA read with concrete suggestions, ranked by severity
Note
Sentinel work usually runs against the Computer tab. You see the shell, the files, and the live preview. See the Computer page for the surface itself.

Amplify

The publisher. Takes finished content and gets it onto channels.

Amplify is the step after Pulse. Once a post is written, Amplify decides where it should land, formats it per channel, schedules the publication, and reports back. It knows your connected accounts and how each one prefers content shaped.

Common use cases

Ask Amplify toWhat you get back
Publish this post to LinkedIn and XBoth posts formatted for each platform with the right length and hashtags
Schedule the newsletter for Tuesday 9amA confirmed scheduled send with a preview link
Cross-post my blog post as a Reddit threadA Reddit-shaped version with the title, body, and chosen subreddit
Plan a week of content from this canvasDay-by-day schedule with the platform per slot
Repurpose this video into five short postsFive posts each highlighting a different beat from the video

Counsel

The lawyer in the room. Drafts agreements, reviews terms, summarises legal docs.

Counsel is not a substitute for a real lawyer on hard cases. For the every-week stuff (an NDA before a partner conversation, a contractor agreement, terms for a small deal) Counsel writes a clean draft, walks you through the choices, and produces a final document you can send for signature.

Common use cases

Ask Counsel toWhat you get back
Draft an NDA between us and a partnerA short, signable NDA with the standard clauses you can review
Read this contract and tell me what is unusualA summary flagging clauses that depart from norm with the risk per clause
Generate a SOW from our discovery notesA statement of work with scope, deliverables, timeline, and payment terms
Send this agreement for signatureAn agreement record in Brain with the signers, status, and signed PDF when complete
What changes between version 1 and version 2A side-by-side diff in plain English
Warning
Counsel writes drafts to a working standard. For bet-the-company contracts or anything in an unfamiliar jurisdiction, route the final review through a human lawyer.

Skills and slash commands

Inside each agent are specific skills you can invoke directly.

A skill is a named unit of work an agent knows how to do. Each agent owns a set. You can browse them by typing the slash key in the composer and then either picking an agent (which exposes all of its skills) or typing the skill name to jump straight to it.

  1. 01
    Open the picker
    Hit forward slash in the composer.
  2. 02
    Filter by agent or by skill name
    Typing narrows down to matching entries across all agents.
  3. 03
    Select
    Enter to insert the skill into the composer. The skill prompt template fills in. Add your specifics and submit.

When not to use a slash

Plain English works for almost everything.

You never have to use a slash command. Type your message in plain English and the router resolves to the right agent based on what you asked for. Slash commands matter when you want to be explicit (you know exactly which agent and skill you want) or when you want the skill prompt template filled in for you so you can edit it before sending.
