Core concepts

Twelve words you'll see everywhere in Verse, each explained in a sentence or two.

You'll meet all of these in your first hour. The glossary has the longer list; this is the short one worth actually reading.

Concept	What it is
Employee	An AI worker you hire, with a name, role, tools, memory, and settings. Everything in Verse revolves around employees.
Brief	The short interview you answer when hiring. It becomes the employee's understanding of the job.
Run	One unit of finished work: a task you asked for, a triggered automation, or a scheduled job. Runs live on the Runs page.
Trigger	A reason for work to start: a schedule, an event in a connected app, a webhook, or you asking.
Workflow	A repeatable, step by step automation you can see on a canvas. Good for work that must happen the same way every time.
Space	A room where several employees work toward one objective together, with a Coordinator keeping order.
Connector	A connection to one of your apps, like Gmail or Slack. Employees can only use apps you've connected.
Skill	An installable package of know how for a specific job, like editing PDFs or testing a website. Employees can find and install skills themselves.
Memory	What an employee retains between conversations: facts, preferences, corrections, and what it learned on calls.
Manager	Morgan, the built in chief of staff. Answers questions about your team, delegates work, and proposes new hires.
Approval	A pause where an employee asks you to decide something before it continues. Pending ones are counted on the Runs badge.
Credits	What running work consumes. Plans include a monthly amount; heavier work uses more. One credit is one cent of AI compute.

One naming note: employees are sometimes called agents, especially in URLs (the Employees page lives at /agents). Same thing, older name.
