AI teammate
AI
An AI teammate is an AI agent that takes work in a team's own chat threads, remembers how the team works and asks before acting on its own ideas.
For example, anyone on a store's team can ask its AI teammate in a Slack thread to "check whether the new bundle has any oversold variants." It checks inventory, replies in the thread and, if it finds a problem, prepares a fix for a teammate to approve.
An AI teammate shares work across the whole team instead of helping one person at a time, so the team gets hours back, not just faster drafts.
Mostly, yes. AI teammate and AI coworker both describe an AI agent that takes work from your team and does it. "AI teammate" sometimes also means a personal assistant for each person's inbox and calendar.
Moving money, and anything hard to undo that nobody asked it to do, such as changing many records at once or messaging many customers. Those should wait for a person's approval.
