Agent Members
Deploy AI team members with their own identity, phone number, and the ability to proactively reach out. Agent Members work alongside your team, handling conversations across DMs, SMS, and voice with full context.
What Agents Do
Agent Members are autonomous AI identities that live in your workspace:
- Communicate directly via DMs, SMS, and voice calls
- Remember context across all conversations with a person
- Act proactively with scheduled check-ins and follow-ups
- Own resources like phone numbers and calendars
- Work 24/7 without needing supervision
Unlike traditional chatbots that wait for users to start conversations, agents can reach out, follow up, and maintain ongoing relationships.
Key Features
Multi-Channel Communication
One agent, many channels:
| Channel | Capability |
|---|---|
| Direct Messages | Chat within the workspace |
| SMS | Text conversations via dedicated number |
| Voice Calls | Natural phone conversations with AI |
Persistent Memory
Agents remember every interaction. A member who texted last week can call today, and the agent picks up where they left off—no need to repeat information.
Customizable Personality
Define how your agent behaves:
- System prompt sets role, tone, and boundaries
- Model selection balances capability and speed
- Tool access controls what actions agents can take
Scheduled Autonomy
Enable proactive behavior:
- Daily check-ins with specific members
- Weekly status updates
- Follow-up reminders after appointments
How It Works
Agent Identity → Incoming Message → Contextual Response
(name, phone) (DM, SMS, call) (memory-aware)
When someone messages your agent, it draws on conversation history, system instructions, and available tools to respond naturally. Agents maintain memory across channels—a conversation started via SMS can continue via DM without losing context.
