# AI Agent Assistants

> Meet the AI Agents in StellarFirm: fourteen Agentic Assistants, from the Coder and Marketing to the Teacher and the Scientist, ready to hire for your company.

Every persona is an AI Agent Assistant: a job title for an assistant. Each one has its own skills, its own integrations, and its own private workspace, so you can hand it a goal the way you would hand it to a colleague. You are the CEO. You give the goal, the assistants do the work, and anything risky waits for your Approve, as your [house rules](/docs/ceo/house-rules) require.

## What an AI Agent Assistant is

An AI Agent Assistant bundles four things:

- **A role.** What the assistant is for, such as writing code or drafting a campaign.
- **Skills.** Step-by-step playbooks it follows for common jobs, such as "fix CI" or "draft a payment reminder".
- **Integrations.** The tools it is allowed to use, such as GitHub for the Coder.
- **A workspace.** A private computer of its own, so one assistant's work never lands in another's files.

## The AI Agent Assistants

| AI Agent Assistant | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| [Coder](/docs/personas/coder) | Turns goals and tickets into tested code changes, and takes them as far as your house rules allow. |
| [Product owner](/docs/personas/product-owner) | Triages the backlog, writes clear issues, and drafts stakeholder updates. |
| [Marketing](/docs/personas/marketing) | Drafts campaign briefs, launch posts, emails, and social posts, and finds your assets. |
| [Accountant](/docs/personas/accountant) | Triages invoice mail, summarizes expenses, and drafts invoices and reminders. |
| [Legal](/docs/personas/legal) | Builds review checklists for contracts and policies, and drafts correspondence. Not legal advice. |
| [Sales](/docs/personas/sales) | Gives every deal a dated next step, preps your calls, drafts follow-ups, and tracks proposals. |
| [Executive assistant](/docs/personas/executive-assistant) | Keeps your week on your goals with a daily brief, inbox triage, meeting prep, and recaps. |
| [Support](/docs/personas/support) | Triages the support queue, drafts customer replies, and files bug reports for the Coder. |
| [Recruiting](/docs/personas/recruiting) | Turns an open role into a hiring plan, a job description, and an interview plan. |
| [eShop](/docs/personas/eshop) | Plans the store, product pages, and catalog copy. The Coder builds the shop. |
| [Teacher](/docs/personas/teacher) | Plans lessons and courses, writes exercises with checked solutions, quizzes, rubrics, and slides, and tutors one to one. |
| [Scientist](/docs/personas/scientist) | Searches the literature with checked sources, plans and runs experiments, checks results, and writes papers. |
| [Copywriter](/docs/personas/copywriter) | Writes and edits copy in your voice, from web pages and emails to articles and scripts. |
| [DJ](/docs/personas/dj) | Writes beat briefs, track outlines, mix notes, set plans, and release checklists for musicians and DJs. |

Hire any of them from the AI Agent Assistants screen in the app. You can hire more than one of the same kind, each with its own name and focus.

## For universities and science

StellarFirm for universities and StellarFirm for scientists put two assistants first.

| AI Agent Assistant | For | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [Teacher](/docs/personas/teacher) | Universities, schools, and teaching teams | Lesson and course plans, worked examples, exercises with checked solutions, quizzes and exams, rubrics and feedback, slides and handouts in LaTeX, and one-to-one tutoring that gives hints before answers. |
| [Scientist](/docs/personas/scientist) | Research groups and labs | Literature searches with checked sources, hypotheses and experiment plans, symbolic and numerical checks, proofs, reproducible analyses, and papers in LaTeX. |

The rest of the team is there when you need it: the Coder builds a course site or turns an analysis into a tool, and the Copywriter helps you write in your own words. See the [university](/docs/playbooks/university) and [science lab](/docs/playbooks/science-lab) playbooks.

## How the CEO briefs them

You do not need to pick the right assistant yourself. You write a goal in chat, and the CEO assistant reads it, chooses the AI Agent Assistant that fits, and briefs it with the details it needs. The chosen assistant then works in its own workspace and reports back in the same chat.

1. You give a goal in plain words.
2. The CEO assistant routes it to the right AI Agent Assistant. See [routing](/docs/ceo/routing).
3. The assistant works and shows its progress, its terminal, and its changes.
4. If a step is risky, it waits for your Approve in [Approvals](https://stellarfirm.ai/app/approvals).
5. You get the result in chat.

If you already know who should do the job, name the assistant at the start of your message and routing is skipped.

```prompt title="Name the assistant yourself"
Coder, look at the open issues on [repository] and tell me which one you would pick up first, and why.
```

## Several assistants, one goal

A chat in StellarFirm is a **session**. A session can hold several assistants at once, all reading the same conversation. You can address one of them, or everyone.

- Address one assistant by name at the start of a message: "Coder, ...".
- Write a goal with no name and the CEO assistant plans it and hands each part to the right assistant.
- Each assistant works in its own workspace, so they do not overwrite each other.
- Every risky step from any of them lands in the same Approvals list.

So a Product owner writes the ticket, a Coder builds it, and Marketing announces it, all in one session. In a university, the Scientist turns a new result into notes and the Teacher turns those notes into a lesson.

```prompt title="Plan a goal across the team"
Team, our goal this week is [goal]. Break it into parts, tell me who does what, and start.
```

## Several Coders at once

You can run more than one Coder. Each Coder has its own name, its own focus (for example "UI engineer" or "backend engineer"), its own repository, its own login to your source host, and its own workspace. They run side by side, so a UI change and a backend change can move at the same time.

Address a Coder by its name, or let the CEO assistant route the message by focus or by the repository it names. Set them up under Coders in [Settings](https://stellarfirm.ai/app/settings). See [the Coder](/docs/personas/coder#several-coders) for details.

```prompt title="Split work between two Coders"
UI Coder, build the [component] on [repository-one]. API Coder, add the endpoint it needs on [repository-two]. Tell me when each pull request is ready.
```
