# Overview

> An AI team member at your company. It has a name, a job, responsibilities and behaviors you set, and a separate copy for each client it serves.

A **worker** is one Slack app with one name. People address it the way they address a colleague: in a channel, by @-mention, or in a DM. It has a role, a list of responsibilities, a list of behaviors, memory of its own, and skills it can run. Everything about it is on its page in control, under **Workers**.

One worker can serve many clients. For each client, it gets a separate copy with that client's memory and nothing of any other client's. Your own team talks to a copy that holds every client's memory. You never see the copies; you see one worker.

## The worker's page

The header shows the avatar, the name, the role title, a status badge, and, once the worker serves clients, a context picker: **Internal** or one client. The picker decides which copy the Tasks, Knowledge, Connections and Triage tabs show.

## Creating a worker

Ask your AI Admin, or press **New Worker** on the Workers page. The wizard has five steps: **Identity** (name, job title, who it reports to, and a drafted responsibilities list), **Clients**, **Slack & channels** (an Add to Slack window; click Allow), **Tools**, and **Launch**, which ends with *Say hello to \<name>*: send it a message to prove it works.
