Built-in agents
Every organisation starts with a working set of agents, not an empty catalog.
They are ordinary org-ring registry agents —
versioned, governed and editable — seeded at sign-in, visible from every
workspace, and addressable as @slug from birth.

What they have in common
One org-ring copy
Not one per workspace. An org-ring agent is visible from every workspace by design — that is ring visibility doing its job.
A handle from birth
Every agent is addressable as @slug. Mentioning one dispatches the whole message to it before any model call — explicit beats inferred.
Supervised by default
Reads run; writes pause for a person. Only Deep Research ships above that, and even it parks on a destructive call.
No author
Built-ins carry no created_by — they belong to the platform, not to whichever member's sign-in happened to seed them.
Yours to change
Edit the definition, publish a version, roll back. The platform stops re-publishing its own copy once you have taken it over.
Governed like any other
DLP, tool and model allowlists, budgets, approvals, kill switches and the audit log apply identically. Built-in is not a privilege.
How a message finds the right one
You never have to pick. A chat message reaches the
Orchestrator, which decides whether
one agent owns the request — by an @handle you typed, by a person's
name, by a tagged desk, or by a lite-tier classifier that can see every
specialist's tools — and otherwise plans the goal across several. Naming an
agent always wins.
support,
travel or markets, and the router follows it — no
platform change, and the built-in can be retired.
