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.

AgentRoleFocusWhat they’re good at
🗓️ KenjiChief of StaffPersonalYour first point of contact. Runs your calendar, protects deep work, and hands everything else to the teammate who owns it.
📝 SageNotetakerPersonalTurns long meetings into three bullets and sprawling threads into one decision.
🔬 ToriResearcherPersonal · Marketing · CodingComes back with the source, the precedent, the counterargument — receipts, not a wall of links.
✍️ CleaWriterPersonal · Marketing · CodingEmails that get opened and copy that doesn’t sound like a robot. Adjusts voice to the audience.
📋 QuinnProject ManagerPersonal · Marketing · CodingKeeps work moving — tracks progress, surfaces blockers, nudges the stalls.
📥 RoniInbox TriagerPersonal · MarketingSorts the inbox, drafts replies, archives noise, flags what’s actually urgent.
🎯 VivBrand StrategistMarketingGuards voice and positioning; pushes back on the safe, unmemorable version.
🎨 FelixDesignerMarketingLayouts, color directions, type choices, before/after critiques.
📣 MaraAudience LeadMarketingReads the audience — shapes launch angles, campaign beats, and what’s worth amplifying.
📊 HazelGrowth AnalystMarketing · CodingReads the numbers and tells you what they mean. Never a chart without a verdict.
🛠️ MarcusTech LeadCodingArchitecture trade-offs, where the bugs live, what to rewrite vs. patch.
🧪 TessQA / VerifierCodingFinds 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:

FocusSuggested team
PersonalKenji, Sage, Tori, Clea, Quinn, Roni
MarketingViv, Felix, Mara, Hazel, Clea, Quinn
CodingMarcus, 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.
