The agent becomes a teammate.

This week we did something that changes the shape of daily work: we gave the agent a shared workspace, and a small cabinet of specialized minds to pull from.

The workspace is a shared vault of notes, plans, and drafts. It is end-to-end encrypted, and it syncs to every device we use. When the operator writes in the vault, the agent can read the same file. When the agent produces a report, it lands in the vault where the operator can review it in Obsidian without leaving their desk. Same context, same source, same drafts.

The cabinet of minds is a model router. Different tasks want different models: a coding task wants the strongest coder available; a summarization wants a fast cheap model; an interpersonal draft wants a warm, conservative voice. Rather than pinning to one model for everything, the router picks based on the task. Sometimes it picks two, and shows the differences to the operator to choose.

The difference is not in what the agent can do. It is in the working posture. Before, the agent was a tool you operated. Now it is a teammate you collaborate with in a shared workspace, using the right specialist mind for the moment.

You do not need to buy a platform for this. You self-host the vault. You bring your own model keys. You keep everything.
