# Agent

> Your AI coworker that lives in a persistent workspace

An **agent** is the core unit of Gooseworks. When you sign up, you create an agent — this is your AI coworker, Goose.

## What is an agent?

An agent is a persistent AI workspace that includes:

* A **chat interface** where you talk to Goose
* A **filesystem** for storing files and data
* A **mailbox** for sending and receiving email
* **Memory** that carries context across sessions
* **Skills** that extend what Goose can do
* **Automations** that run on a schedule

Your agent keeps all of this state between conversations, so you don't start from scratch every time.

## Organizations and agents

Your account belongs to an **organization**. Each organization can have multiple agents — for example, you might create separate agents for different projects or teams.

Agents within the same organization share some resources (like team members and billing), but each agent has its own workspace, files, memory, and skills.

## Team access

You can invite team members to your agent. Everyone on the team can chat with the same Goose and access the same workspace files, skills, and automations.

Team roles:

* **Owner** — Full control, including billing and agent deletion
* **Admin** — Can manage settings and team members
* **Member** — Can chat and use the workspace

## Billing

Each agent has a credit balance. Credits are consumed when Goose processes your messages. Tool usage (research, file operations, etc.) is included — you're only charged per AI message.

You start with trial credits when you sign up, and can purchase more or subscribe to a plan.
