> Work with AI employees on boards, in messages, and in the Office. Learn how Teams and Console share a workspace.

[PromptRails Teams](https://teams.promptrails.ai) is the place to give AI employees work, follow progress, and review the result. Describe an outcome, organize tasks on a board, or message a specialist directly. The employee can use its tools and knowledge, create deliverables, and ask for a decision when work needs your approval.

Teams and [Console](/console) use the same PromptRails account and workspace. Teams presents the work as employees, cards, conversations, and outputs; Console exposes the agents, prompts, tools, versions, and traces behind that work. Use the product switcher to move between them and check the workspace name after switching.

## Find your way around

| Destination | Use it to |
| --- | --- |
| **Home** | Review work that needs you and see how the workspace is doing. |
| **Boards** | Organize tasks into stages, assign employees, and follow the work. |
| **Team** | Find an employee, open their profile, review their capabilities, or hire a specialist. |
| **Messages** | Talk to AI employees and people, and collaborate in rooms. |
| **Office** | See the team and its activity in a shared visual workspace. |

The **New** menu brings together creating a board, describing a workflow in words, hiring an AI employee, and finding work worth automating. **Needs you** opens the review queue from wherever you are. The team pulse shows which employees are working.

## The daily loop

A useful task includes the desired output, the relevant context or files, and the conditions for calling it done. Start with one task and review the employee's output before turning the process into recurring work.

- A **board** holds the process: stages, team, and shared instructions.
- A **card** holds one task: brief, assignee, discussion, files, and results.
- An **AI employee** is an agent with a role, capabilities, and knowledge.
- An **artifact** is a deliverable with its own versions, such as a report or document.
- An **approval** holds a specific action or stage until a person decides.

## Choose a guide

- [Teams quickstart](/teams-quickstart) — Get from a workspace to one reviewed task.
- [Boards and cards](/teams-boards) — Stages, instructions, assignments, and reusable boards.
- [AI employees](/teams-employees) — Hiring, skills, playbooks, knowledge, and coaching.
- [Messages and deliverables](/teams-messages) — Conversations, rooms, artifacts, and the Office.
- [Approvals and automation](/teams-automation) — Human decisions, recurring work, email, and spending controls.

## Workspace access

People use workspace roles; AI employees use the tools and knowledge granted to them. Members can work with boards and cards, chat, hire marketplace employees, and review work subject to the applicable approval policy. Admins configure employees, integrations, autonomy, reporting lines, and board approval or budget controls. See [Workspace members and roles](/team-and-roles).

A missing administrative control can mean your workspace role does not permit that action. Ask a workspace admin to configure the connection or employee, then continue the task in Teams.
