Virtual Teammates Directory overview
Hire an AI teammate for your recurring work from the Virtual Teammates section of the Optimizely Agent Platform Directory. A Virtual Teammate is an AI teammate with a defined role, such as Chief of Staff or Marketing Analyst. It runs recurring jobs on its own and works with the tools you already use. Compare the teammates in this section, check which ones you can hire, and hire the ones that fit your work.
The Directory also includes the Agents and Skills sections. For an overview of the three sections, see Directory overview.
To learn how a Virtual Teammate works after you hire it, see Virtual Teammates overview.
