Create your first employee assistant

What's an employee assistant?

A private AI coworker for one person. It has its own secure storage and its own web address, and it acts on that person's behalf. (In the API and CLI it's called a tenant.)

Create one

oc tenants create \
  --name alice \
  --display-name "Alice Smith" \
  --email alice@example.com

That's it — Alice's assistant is now live. She can sign in and use it at your organisation's address (e.g. https://acme.<your-domain>).

You can also set a few things up front — which team she belongs to (see Organize your company) and a monthly spend cap (see Manage cost).

Manage assistants

Once created, you can list everyone's assistants, look up one person's details, pause an assistant to free resources, bring it back, or remove it altogether. Manage this from the command line — see CLI reference → oc tenants.

What's next

A brand-new assistant starts locked down — it can chat, but it can't reach company tools, skills, or knowledge until you allow it. Build it up:

• Let Alice sign in
• Share skills with her — reusable abilities
• Connect tools — Slack, Jira, your CRM
• Add company knowledge — so it answers with real facts
• Control access — decide exactly what it can use

Full command details live in the CLI reference.
