AI Employees

An AI employee is one member of a Force: a specialist with a name, a role, instructions, access to certain systems, and a level of trust. This page covers the AI Employees page, the team roster inside a Force, and the things you can do with each member.

Roles and trust

Roles decide which playbook steps a member is given.

Manager, Synthesizer, Critic and Actor are one per team: if two people hold the same role, only the first hired is used.

Trust decides how much a member may do without asking.

The AI Employees page

Click AI Employees in the left sidebar (/nexus/ai-employees). It lists "Everyone hired into your Forces — one card per hire, with the Force they work in, their role, how far they are trusted and the model they run on."

• Tabs: Active, Draft and Archived, with counts. A member's tab follows its Force. An archived member is always Archived. Paused members stay under Active with a Paused pill.
• Search AI Employees matches name, role, Force name or model.
• Filters: Force (All Forces), Role (All roles) and Trust (Any trust).
• Sort: Working first (default), Name, Force or Recently hired.
• The page refreshes about every 30 seconds.

Each card shows the avatar, name, the Force (a link), the role, a trust track (Shadow, Learn, Trusted), the model (or Default model), and two numbers: Completed Today (UTC day) and Needs Approval. Click the card to open its Force. Admins also see a pencil icon (Edit) that opens the member's edit page.

Hire a member

1. Open the hire form

   In a Force workspace click Hire member, or use Add member in the setup wizard. Admins only.

2. Fill in the four tabs

   Identity, Job, Access and Authority. Every field is explained in Step 7: Member Configuration.

3. Bring them on

   Click Bring (name) on. A toast says the member is on the team and shows their starting trust.

If you are not the Force owner, the form says "This member will run on the team owner's connections, not yours."

The Members tab

Open a Force and choose the Members tab. The heading is Your team. Archived members are hidden unless an admin clicks Show archived.

A member card shows the name, a Paused badge when paused, an autonomy meter (Shadowing, Learning or Trusted), money spent, the number of cases they took part in, the model, the role and their instructions (two lines).

Limits show as dashed lines when they apply:

• Always: their permanent limits, for example "Never writes anywhere".
• Only these systems, Only these Studio tools, Only these skills: narrowed access.
• Signs in as: the connected account they use. If it is missing you see a warning that every action on it stops.
• Runs on (name)'s AI key.

Change a role

Admins click Change role, then pick one of the five roles. Each option explains its job and what happens "Without one". Manager is marked Recommended when nobody holds it. Choosing a one-per-team role moves the current holder to Worker.

Hand off a job

1. Click Hand off a job

   Admins only. For a manager the dialog reads "Hand a job to (name)": the job runs through the playbook, which decides who does what. For anyone else it reads "Give (name) a direct job": they work alone, outside the playbook.

2. Describe it

   Type under What should they do? ("Describe the task…") and click Start.

3. Follow the result

   A manager hand-off opens the Ask page ("(name) is on it"). A direct hand-off shows "Handed off to (name)" and the work appears under See work.

A draft Force refuses a hand-off to a manager. A direct job is limited only by the member's own permanent limits.

See work

See work, or clicking the card, opens a drawer with the member's recent turns: who asked, a status, a time and a step checklist. It refreshes every 8 seconds, and scrolling up loads older turns. Empty: "No runs yet — Hand off a job to (name) to see their work show up here."

Try on past cases

Try on past cases (Operate access or above) replays the member against the team's last three real cases, read-only. Each case shows Actually happened next to what (name) would have done. The drawer is titled Try on past cases · read-only, runs automatically, and has Run again.

Empty: "No past cases to shadow yet — Ask your team something first."

Edit, pause, archive

For a member hired from a persona, Re-sync from persona refreshes them, but resets trust to Shadowing.
