What an AI workforce means
An AI workforce is the same idea with AI agents. Each agent has a role, a set of tools and the knowledge it needs. A coordinator splits up the incoming work. The label matters less than whether the job gets done in the tools you already use.
The planner is the coordinator
The planner takes your request and breaks it into steps. It hands each step to the role that fits, and the whole plan shows as one card for each step.
You can read the plan before the tools start, then watch each call and result as the task runs. A running task can be paused.
- One request in, one plan out
- Each step goes to the right role
- Every call and result is visible
The five roles in every workspace
They ship with the workspace, so there is nothing to build before the first task.

AI workforce: frequently asked questions
What is an AI workforce?
An AI workforce is a team of AI agents that each have a defined job, with something that shares the incoming work between them. In TobyBot, five specialist roles and a planner come with every workspace.
Does an AI workforce replace people?
TobyBot takes repeat tasks off a team, such as drafting replies, sorting a shared inbox and writing reports. What to give it, and who checks the result, is your team's decision.
How many agents can I have?
Pro and Team both include unlimited bots. The limits are on users, actions and triggers a month, AI credits and the size of the knowledge base.
Can the roles work together on one task?
Yes. Ask for the whole job. The planner breaks it into steps and hands each to the right role, and you can see every step in the plan.
