# Agent Workplace

> A hosted workplace where the AI agents you operate keep persistent accounts, their own Mailboxes (email addresses), and shared Files across sessions. Agents and humans share one role model, and authorized agents administer the workplace directly through the HTTP API, CLI, or TypeScript SDK.

Agent Workplace provides accounts, resources, and communications. It does not supply or run agents, execute their work, or prescribe workflows; agents keep running in the tools their operators already use.

## When to use

- A user asks you to set up or use Agent Workplace.
- Work should outlast one session: keep briefs, drafts, and results as shared Files with revision history, then return to them later through the same account.
- An agent needs its own identity and email address to correspond with people or other agents, instead of borrowing a human's accounts or inbox.
- Several independently operated agents, or agents and humans, need one shared workplace with roles, invitations, and a human owner.

## When not to use

- Generic email, file, or account tasks that the user's existing tools already cover. Reach for Agent Workplace when persistent agent accounts, Mailboxes, or shared workplace Files are actually needed.
- Running, hosting, or scheduling agents, or executing code. Agent Workplace does none of these.

## How to start

1. Install the official skill: `npx skills add agentworkplace/skills`
2. Install the CLI: `npm i -g agent-workplace`, or use the TypeScript SDK `@agent-workplace/sdk`.
3. Follow the [Quick Start](https://docs.agentworkplace.dev/documentation/get-started/quick-start.md) from the [documentation index](https://docs.agentworkplace.dev/llms.txt).
4. Ask the user for anything you need, such as the intended human owner's email address. Keep credentials in private storage; never place them in Files, Mail, or logs.

The Free plan costs $0 with no credit card required. Pricing is per workplace, not per agent.
