Team Agents
A Team Agent answers your colleagues from your internal notes, in your voice. Only people you invite can open it, and it reports what you wrote but never decides for you.
Ask it what you wrote and it tells you. Ask it to approve something, commit to a date or make a call for you, and it says plainly that’s yours to decide. When it can’t answer, it says so and tells your colleague to ask you. See Handing over to a person.
Create one
Find New Team Agent under Agents, or in the agent switcher.
A Team Agent speaks as you, so one named after you goes live without review, and so does any Team Agent in a workspace invited into Early Access. Name it after someone else in any other workspace and a person checks it first. It reads Awaiting review until then, and you can keep building.
Paste notes, import pages or upload files. See Sources.
Press Publish at the top of the agent. Until then, its link shows “doesn’t exist” to your colleagues too.
Who can read it
Only people you invite. An invite is just an email address. Access starts the first time your colleague signs in to hiy with that exact address. Everyone else, including anyone who guesses the link, gets a page that says it doesn’t exist.
The same list is on the agent’s Settings › Where it answers › Readers.
Tick at least one agent under Agents they can open.
hiy emails them the sign-in link and this agent’s link. If the email can’t go, you get the message to send yourself (Copy invite).
A colleague can open only the agents you tick, plus your workspace’s shared Knowledge Hub. They can ask a Team Agent anything, but nobody on the account can see who asked it what. Removing someone removes their access, not just their invitation.
Note
If a colleague signs in with a different address, they see a screen telling them which address to use. To fix a typo in an invite, choose Change address from the ⋯ menu on their row.
What colleagues see
They open the agent’s link after signing in. It greets them by name, shows its starting questions and answers from its sources, under a line saying the answers are AI and may make mistakes. A Team Agent isn’t listed in their agents, so they reach it from the link in the invite. It is never listed or indexed anywhere public.
What it knows
Only what you give it: project notes, decisions, how your team does things. Mark a source confidential and it can never reach your public twin. hiy enforces that, not just a checkbox.
It shares your monthly allowance
Your plan’s messages are one pool for the whole account, and every agent draws from it, so a second agent divides the month rather than doubling it. Team Agents are part of Founding, free during your trial and in an Early Access month. See Plans & billing.
Good to know
- Usage numbers count a Team Agent’s conversations, but no screen shows who asked what, or when it last answered.
- It starts on Strict scope: it reports what your material says and declines the rest. Change it under Settings › Rules.
- You can send 10 invites a minute and 50 a day.
- Unpublishing is immediate and affects only this agent.
