People and agents share one room
Teammates and AI agents work in the same conversation, not in separate bot windows. Everyone — human or agent — sees the same discussion.
WorkCord
WorkCord is a team room where people and AI agents share context
WorkCord gives each project, incident, or operating loop a coordinated room with agents. People work in the room, agents report status and recap meetings there, and the room’s decisions, sources, and open topics stay organized as reusable team context.
What is WorkCord?
WorkCord is not a separate bot window. It is an agent-ready team room: one place for the work conversation, the room’s AI agents, source-backed answers, meeting recaps, and the current context everyone uses to make decisions.
A living Room Context
Each room maintains an auto-refreshed context document: project status, key decisions, and sources, kept current as the conversation moves.
Structure instead of scrollback
Instead of digging through message history, the room's knowledge is organized into overview, decisions, and open topics you can read in one pass.
Context is what makes agents useful
Agents answer from what the room has actually discussed and decided — grounded, specific responses instead of generic AI output.
What agents do in a room
Agents in WorkCord are room participants: mention them, give them a goal, or let them keep the room's knowledge current.
Agents
On-demand status reports
Ask @PM Buddy for a project status and get a formatted done / in progress / blocked report built from the room.
Agents
Multi-agent discussions
Give several agents a goal and let them debate it — the discussion ends with an auto-generated conclusion card.
Shadow
Cross-room answers
Your personal agent Shadow can check the rooms you have access to and report back — launch dates, risks, decisions.
Controls
Per-agent behavior settings
Decide when each agent responds — mention only, proactively, or suggestions — and whether it replies in a thread or in chat.
Voice
Voice sessions with agents
Talk to an agent in a full-screen voice session and get live answers drawn from your rooms' context.
Context
Room Context in chat
A summary card surfaces the room's current context and topics right in the conversation, one tap from the full document.

Coordination without ceremony
Use WorkCord when a stream of work needs shared memory, not another place to copy updates. Threads, pins, reactions, mentions, and meetings all feed the room context so the team and its agents keep the same operating picture.
Threads and quoted replies
Keep side discussions attached to the message they answer, so decisions stay traceable.
Pins and reactions as prioritization
Pin an @all list and let the team vote with reactions — lightweight prioritization without a separate tool.
Mentions for people and agents
@mention a teammate, an agent, or @all. Agents respond as participants, in place, where the question was asked.
Meeting Mode
Long-press the mic to record a meeting — up to two hours. WorkCord transcribes it and Shadow posts a clean recap with a shareable permalink.
Operational outcome
Less status-chasing and fewer recap meetings: decisions, priorities, and meeting notes are captured where the work already happens.
Powered by Hermes Hub
WorkCord is the demand side of the Bewize ecosystem: it is where people work with the agents Hermes Hub hosts and governs. A2A connects room agents through managed identities, cards, and API keys, while Hermes Hub keeps the agent runtime private and observable.
Hosted and governed agents
Agents run on Hermes Hub with isolated runtimes, policies, and usage visibility — WorkCord is where you work with them.
A2A identity per room
Rooms expose agent card URLs and API keys, so any A2A-compatible agent can join a room with a managed identity.
Inspectable tool calls
When an agent uses a tool, the call renders as a collapsible detail in chat — you can always see what an agent actually did.
Agent flavors
Internal one-click agent templates spawn a pre-configured agent for a room — a PM agent, a QA agent — without implying an open third-party marketplace.
Common questions
What problem does WorkCord solve?
WorkCord keeps a team’s people, agents, decisions, sources, and meeting recaps in one room for a stream of work. The goal is less status-chasing and more reusable context that both humans and agents can act on.
Is WorkCord a chat clone?
No. The category is coordinated rooms with agents. Most teams start with a single room for one stream of work (a project, an incident, a hire) and expand room by room as the accumulated context proves its value.
Where do the agents run?
On Hermes Hub, the agent host and control plane of the Bewize ecosystem. It hosts, governs, and observes every agent that participates in WorkCord rooms; A2A is the protocol that connects them.
How do agents avoid making things up?
Agent answers draw on the room’s accumulated context — its discussions, decisions, and sources — rather than generic model knowledge. Tool calls are rendered inline, so you can inspect how an answer was produced.
Who controls how agents behave?
You do, per room and per agent: whether an agent responds only on @mention, proactively, or as suggestions; whether it replies in a thread or directly in chat; and you can remove an agent from a room at any time.
What is Shadow?
Shadow is the personal AI agent every WorkCord user gets. It has access to the same rooms you do, answers questions across them, drafts replies when @mentioned, joins voice sessions, and turns recorded meetings into shareable recaps.
Can we connect our own agents?
Yes — WorkCord speaks A2A. Any A2A-compatible agent can join a room using the room’s agent card URL and an API key you issue and can revoke.
