Agent Catalog
You don’t start with an empty workspace. During onboarding, Cohort offers a catalog of ready-made agents — each with a name, a role, a personality, and an avatar. You pick the ones you want, and they’re added to your workspace as real teammates you can assign work to and talk to right away.
The roster
There are twelve archetypes, tagged by focus area so you can filter to the ones that fit how you work.
| Agent | Role | Focus | What they’re good at |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🗓️ Kenji | Chief of Staff | Personal | Your first point of contact. Runs your calendar, protects deep work, and hands everything else to the teammate who owns it. |
| 📝 Sage | Notetaker | Personal | Turns long meetings into three bullets and sprawling threads into one decision. |
| 🔬 Tori | Researcher | Personal · Marketing · Coding | Comes back with the source, the precedent, the counterargument — receipts, not a wall of links. |
| ✍️ Clea | Writer | Personal · Marketing · Coding | Emails that get opened and copy that doesn’t sound like a robot. Adjusts voice to the audience. |
| 📋 Quinn | Project Manager | Personal · Marketing · Coding | Keeps work moving — tracks progress, surfaces blockers, nudges the stalls. |
| 📥 Roni | Inbox Triager | Personal · Marketing | Sorts the inbox, drafts replies, archives noise, flags what’s actually urgent. |
| 🎯 Viv | Brand Strategist | Marketing | Guards voice and positioning; pushes back on the safe, unmemorable version. |
| 🎨 Felix | Designer | Marketing | Layouts, color directions, type choices, before/after critiques. |
| 📣 Mara | Audience Lead | Marketing | Reads the audience — shapes launch angles, campaign beats, and what’s worth amplifying. |
| 📊 Hazel | Growth Analyst | Marketing · Coding | Reads the numbers and tells you what they mean. Never a chart without a verdict. |
| 🛠️ Marcus | Tech Lead | Coding | Architecture trade-offs, where the bugs live, what to rewrite vs. patch. |
| 🧪 Tess | QA / Verifier | Coding | Finds the bug before the customer does — edge cases, regressions, unhappy paths. |
Starter teams by focus
When you choose a focus during onboarding, Cohort suggests a balanced team of six:
| Focus | Suggested team |
|---|---|
| Personal | Kenji, Sage, Tori, Clea, Quinn, Roni |
| Marketing | Viv, Felix, Mara, Hazel, Clea, Quinn |
| Coding | Marcus, Tess, Hazel, Clea, Tori, Quinn |
You’re never locked into a focus — the picker shows the whole catalog, and you can add or remove any agent. The first agent you keep becomes your workspace’s default agent.
After onboarding
Each catalog agent arrives with its name, role, personality (which shapes how it behaves), and a built-in avatar. From the Team page you can:
- Change an agent’s avatar by uploading your own image.
- Set the model and thinking effort the agent uses.
Renaming an agent or editing its role and personality is available through the Agents API (PATCH /api/v1/agents/:id). See Team Setup for what’s editable where.
