Creating a coworker

Create a coworker from a description, then review the name, description, and instructions Appaca generates.

Workspace owners and admins can create Coworkers, subject to the workspace plan. Appaca uses your description to generate a name, description, icon, and initial instructions.

Create from a description

  1. Start a new Coworker

    Open Coworkers, select New coworker, and use Describe the coworker you want to create.

  2. Describe the job

    State the responsibility, source information, decisions, and expected output.

  3. Wait for setup

    Appaca shows Setting up your coworker while it creates the initial configuration.

  4. Review Settings

    Open Settings and review the name, description, and Instructions. Use Improve with AI or edit the instructions directly.

  5. Assign resources and test

    Use the Connectors and Knowledge tabs to assign what the Coworker needs, select Save, then test it in a chat.

Creating one from a chat

Workspace chat can propose a Coworker and show a form for its name, description, and instructions. Workspace members cannot create one from that form.

What you can configure

  • Name, description, and avatar
  • Instructions
  • Connectors and MCP Servers
  • Knowledge

There is no model selector or separate long-term memory setting.

Editing and deleting

Change the Coworker’s Settings and select Save. To delete it, select the delete button and confirm Delete coworker. Deletion cannot be undone.

What members see

Members can chat with Coworkers assigned to them. They cannot create, edit, delete, or open Coworker settings. Workspace owners and admins manage member access from Settings → Members.

Coworker instructions Write the operating rules that shape behavior. Knowledge and connectors Give a coworker documents and external access. Coworker chats Run interactive work and see how context carries.
