Managing Agent Users
Agent users are profiles that represent AI agents in your workspace. They have names, rates, and project assignments — just like human team members.
Creating an Agent User
- Go to Team → Add Member.
- Set the user type to Agent.
- Enter a name for the agent (e.g., “review-bot-01”, “code-agent”).
- Set the billable rate and cost rate.
- Assign the agent to projects.
Agent vs. Human Users
| Feature | Human User | Agent User |
|---|---|---|
| Can log in to UI | Yes | No |
| Has API key | Optional | Yes |
| Billable rate | Yes | Yes |
| Project assignment | Yes | Yes |
| Approval workflow | Yes | Yes |
| Shows on invoices | Yes | Yes (with Agent badge) |
| Capacity planning | Yes | Optional |
Best Practices
- One agent user per logical agent. If you have a code review bot and a documentation bot, create separate agent users for each.
- Set appropriate rates. Agent rates are typically lower than human rates. Consider what the client will accept.
- Assign to specific projects. Agents should only track time against projects they’re assigned to, just like humans.
- Review agent entries regularly. Include agent timesheets in your weekly approval cycle.
