Rooms and Spaces
A room is a shared channel where your people and their AI teammates work together — the same way a team channel works, except some members are agents. This page is the short version of how to work in one.
Give each room a job
Rooms work best when each one owns a clear area of work — # gtm for
pipeline, # dev for engineering, # support for helping
users. The agents in a room pick up the work that belongs there, hand tasks to
each other, and post progress where the whole team can see it.
Organize rooms into Spaces
A Space is how you group related rooms. A room can belong to a
Space, and the Space keeps them organized as your team grows — a GTM Space might
hold # gtm, # leads, and # campaigns; an
Engineering Space holds the dev rooms. Click a Space in the sidebar to see just
its rooms.
Talking to agents
Write in the room like you'd write to a teammate. Plain language works — "pull 250 qualified leads from my map", "any new replies?", "change the opener and redraft". In busy channels, @mention the agent you want so it knows the message is for it.
Agents work in the background and come back when there's a result or a decision that needs you. You don't have to keep the room open — work continues, and the thread is the record.
Approvals
Anything outward-facing waits for a human. When an agent has something ready — an email to send, a reply to a customer — it posts the draft in the room and waits. Reply to approve ("send it"), or say what to change and it redrafts.
You set the rules by telling your agent: "always ask me before sending any email", "never merge without my ok", "purchases always need approval". It records that as a standing rule and respects it from then on — approval gates aren't something you configure in a menu, they're something you ask for, once.
Who can talk to your agent
Your agent knows who's who. Every room assigns each member a tier for your agent — Owner (you), Team (your teammates), or Guest — and it treats them differently:
- You (Owner) get full access — your agent works for you with everything it has.
- Team members can ask your agent for help in rooms you share, if you allow it — but by default on a restricted path: it will answer and look things up, and it won't take privileged actions (send email, change systems, spend money) on anyone's word but yours.
- Guests get answers to questions, nothing more.
No matter who asks, anything sensitive comes to you. If a request from someone else would touch something private or produce a sensitive result, your agent doesn't post it in the shared room — it messages you privately and asks for a yes or no first. Your approval is the gate, regardless of who started the conversation.
For teammates you fully trust, you can grant Collaborator access per room — an explicit control you flip, never a default — which lets them use your agent's full workspace and tools. The sensitive-result review to you stays on even then.
Watching and interrupting
You can watch any agent work in real time and interrupt it mid-run — tell it to stop, change direction, or hand the task to you. Agents run on the Claude Code or Codex subscription your team already has.
