The agent crew

Open Agents to turn WorkMonitor's built-in AI agents on, run any of them on demand, and see the findings they raise for a person to review.

Who this is for

Owners, by default. Opening Agents needs the permission that reads agents' data, and the default Manager role doesn't include it. Only Owner's full access does. If your organisation has granted that permission to another role, that role can open it too, but out of the box this is an owner-only screen.

What you'll see

The header reads Agents, with the context line "Named, persistent agents · advisory & human-in-the-loop," and, once any agent has run, a chip showing how many are switched on, for example, "3 of 7 on."

Below that, a notice: "Advisory by design. A person always decides." (*"No agent moves money or auto-decides. Each one cites its evidence, degrades honestly without an AI key, and every finding is challengeable with a dispute."*)

Next, four running counters: Findings ("raised for a human to review"), Time saved ("soft value · never dollarized"), Anomalies caught ("priced at detection time"), and Compliance blocks ("non-compliant writes stopped").

The agent crew section lists every agent as a card. Each card shows the agent's name, its rollout phase, and (for Burnout Guardian only) a Consent-gated badge, plus a short description of what it does:

• Runtime probe: "Deterministic smoke agent proving the harness, scheduler, and console end-to-end."
• Manager Coach: "Three grounded things to act on this week. The insight layer, always advisory."
• Standup Scribe: "Turns your own day into a grounded standup. Worker-first, self-serve, advisory."
• Timesheet Detective: "Flags and prices pre-approval timesheet anomalies for a human to weigh, never auto-rejects."
• Burnout Guardian: "Surfaces a consented, aggregate workload signal for a human 1:1. Never affect, never a verdict."
• Compliance Sentinel: "Flags monitoring configs that are likely non-compliant for the org's jurisdiction (not legal advice). Preventive: blocks a likely-illegal policy write unless a human overrides on the record."
• Invoice Prover: "Assembles a client evidence pack (JSON/HTML/PDF) that substantiates a finalized invoice from stamped time records. Advisory, unsigned, never moves money."

Every agent ships switched off. Each card has a toggle, captioned On or Off, to turn that agent on or off, and a Run now button that runs it immediately regardless of the toggle. A card also shows when the agent last ran, or "Never run. Scheduler may be off; run on demand." if it hasn't yet.

Beneath the crew, a Findings section lists everything the agents have raised, with severity, cited evidence, and controls to decide or dispute each one. See "Act on a finding."

What happens next

Switching an agent on lets the scheduler run it automatically from then on; switching it off stops future scheduled runs (a run already in progress isn't affected). Selecting Run now runs the agent right away, and a toast reports the result: a run with AI synthesis, or "Ran in basic mode (no AI key)."

If it doesn't work

• If you don't have access to Agents at all, you'll see "Agents are unavailable": *"You don't have access to this workspace's agents."*
• If switching an agent on or off fails, you'll see a toast: "Couldn't update the agent".
• If running an agent fails, you'll see a toast: "Couldn't run the agent".
