Anatomy of a worker

A worker (the app sometimes calls it a persona) is one AI character you’ve configured to do a job — the unit you actually talk to and hand work to.

What you’ll learn

• The parts that make up a worker’s character sheet.
• Why this is configuring an employee, not prompting a chatbot.
• How a worker grows with use.

The character sheet

Where a plain chatbot is a faceless model, a worker is a character sheet — like in a role-playing game. You fill in who they are, and the app turns that into the instructions the model lives by. A worker is made of:

• A soul — values and voice: personality, what it cares about, how it sounds. Yours to edit.
• A profession — the role it’s cast as, which sets its base prompt, the right tools, and trade skills.
• Skills — expertise it claims, folded into its prompt (distinct from tools).
• A brain — the model and provider it thinks with. Different workers can use different brains.
• A tool allowlist — exactly which capabilities it may use; empty means text-only.
• Memory — its private long-term notes, the Company’s shared knowledge, and the Library.
• A budget & scoreboard — its caps and live lifetime stats (messages, tools used, conversations).

You’re configuring an employee

The same profession can be a frontier-model strategist or a cheap-model clerk depending on the brain you give it. That’s the difference between a prompt and a worker.

It grows as you use it

A worker earns XP from messages, tool calls, and conversations, climbing a level from 1 up to a cap of 200. Levels map to tiers — Rookie → Competent → Seasoned → Senior → Expert → Master → Veteran → Legendary — and a more senior worker’s instructions gain subtle confidence cues.

What this gets you

The character sheet isn’t decoration — each field changes the output you get back. Three ways that pays off:

One profession, two very different workers. Hire two Content Writers. Give the first a frontier brain and a soul that says “blunt, technical, writes for engineers”; give the second a cheap local brain and “warm, plain-language, writes for first-time buyers.” Same profession, same catalog entry — but hand both the identical brief and you get two genuinely different drafts, one for your docs and one for your homepage. You didn’t write two prompts; you filled in two character sheets.

A researcher that can’t touch your files. A Market Researcher with web tools and an empty file-write allowlist can read everything and change nothing. That’s not a policy you have to remember — it’s a capability it doesn’t hold. You can hand it a task and walk away without wondering what it might overwrite.

A worker that stops being a stranger. Because memory is part of the sheet, the worker you briefed on your pricing last week still knows it this week. The practical effect: your third brief to a worker is shorter than your first, because you stop re-explaining context you’ve already given it.

Recap

A worker is a configured character — soul, profession, skills, brain, tools, memory, budget — that levels up as it works. Next, see how one choice, the profession, sets several of those at once.
