We gave the agent a computer

Most AI tools answer questions. Layer does work.

Your agent gets its own workspace with memory and tools. You hook up what it needs (docs, channels, services) and tell it what to do. It remembers everything, works on its own, and checks with you before doing anything that matters.

If you work alone

Give your agent access to your week. It handles briefings, follow-ups, and the stuff you keep meaning to get to.

  • It remembers context across days and weeks
  • It drafts follow-ups and checks with you before sending
  • It picks up where it left off, not where you last explained things

If you work with a team

Give teammates access to the same agent workspace. The agent learns how the team works, not just one person.

  • It tracks who owes what across launches and handoffs
  • It drafts updates so you are not doing it manually
  • It covers the work that falls between tools

Why this is different

The agent has its own workspace. It does not reset every session. It does not need you to build an automation. You point it at something and it figures it out.

Everything it does is logged. It asks before acting on anything that matters. You open doors one at a time.

How to start

Hook up one tool. Point the agent at something real. Get started.
