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 at https://alice.<your-domain>, ready for her to sign in and use.

You can set a few things up front:

oc tenants create \
  --name alice \
  --display-name "Alice Smith" \
  --email alice@example.com \
  --team engineering \      # the team she belongs to
  --budget 50               # monthly spend cap, in USD

The --team label is how you group people — see Organize your company.

Manage assistants

oc tenants list             # everyone's assistants
oc tenants get alice        # details for one
oc tenants suspend alice    # pause it (frees resources)
oc tenants resume alice     # bring it back
oc tenants delete alice     # remove it

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.
