Iron Octopus does its work through AI workers: specialists configured for one kind of job, each with its own instructions, models and context. A team groups one worker of each kind, and a project’s team does that project’s work. Every workspace starts with ready-to-use platform workers, so you don’t need to set anything up.

​
Kinds of worker

​
Platform workers and your own

  • Platform workers, marked Platform default and Platform managed, are ready to use and maintained by Iron Octopus. They use included AI.
  • Your own workers are ones you create with New Worker: your own instructions, models, skills and context for a kind of job.
Each worker’s card shows its Models, how many Requests it has made, and when it was Last used.

​
Teams

A team assigns one worker to each role: Planner, Coder, DevOps and Review. Each project can be assigned a team when it’s created, or later in Project settings › General. That team’s workers do the project’s work.
