An AI agent is a bot built on a large language model that makes its own decisions. A chatbot follows a script written in advance, and an AI assistant in a separate window only answers questions. With an agent, you just describe the outcome: it reads the thread, asks follow-up questions, creates a task in your tracker and reports back.
In Pachca, agents are real teammates:
- They respond when someone @mentions them or replies to them in a thread
- They see public channels and only the private chats they've been added to
- They receive events via webhooks and take action through the API
- They post reports in Markdown with tables, code and Mermaid diagrams
A team agent is connected as a bot, and its messages are signed with the bot's name. You can also connect a personal agent like Claude Code, Cursor or Codex to your own account with Pachca CLI and Agent Skills. Administrators decide who can use the API in the workspace settings.
