Vybe creates the coworker and opens its Overview.
What happens next
- If your organization has connected Vybe to Slack, the coworker joins your Slack workspace right away and sends you a direct message to get started.
- If it hasn’t, the coworker is still created. The top bar on its page shows Connect Slack. Only Owners and Admins can connect Vybe to Slack; if you’re not one, ask an Owner or Admin. Until then, you can chat with the coworker in its Chats section. See Slack.
Your first coworker
When you sign up and create a new organization, Vybe creates a first coworker for you named Vybe, with the role Agent manager. You then add it to Slack with Add to Slack and choose which channels to invite it to, or skip that step. In Slack, Vybe sends you a direct message and asks Which department can I help with? Pick a department (Product, Engineering, Marketing, Sales, HR, Data, Customer Success, or type your own under Other), and Vybe creates a coworker for that department or points you to one that already exists. The Vybe coworker itself doesn’t appear in your AI coworkers list. See Slack for the full setup.Start from a ready-made coworker
The gallery at vybe.build/gallery has ready-made coworkers for common jobs, built and curated by the Vybe team.1

Browse the gallery and choose a coworker. Sign in to Vybe if you’re asked to.

Vybe opens Personalize your agent, with the coworker’s name, role and avatar filled in. Change anything you like and choose who can use it.

Vybe creates your copy in your organization.
Connections aren’t copied. Connect your own tools and give the coworker access to them. See Connections.
Ask a coworker to create one
A coworker can create another coworker for you from a chat in Vybe or from Slack:Create a coworker for our recruiting team. It should screen inbound candidates and keep our hiring tracker up to date.You need permission to create coworkers yourself, and you become the new coworker’s owner. You’ll see “Created name” in the conversation, with a Talk to name card. If Vybe is connected to Slack, the new coworker joins Slack and messages you. If it isn’t, use the card to finish setting up the coworker and add it to Slack.
Duplicate, archive, restore and delete
Find these actions in the Coworker actions menu (…) on Overview → Information, or in the … menu on a coworker’s card or row on the AI coworkers page. To see archived coworkers, set the filter on the AI coworkers page to Archived.
