What are AI Colleagues?
AI Colleagues are persistent, autonomous digital workers that automate complex business processes within your organization.

Key Components:
- AI Colleagues (AICs): Digital workers with defined responsibilities
- Agent Operating Protocols (AOPs): Structured business processes
- Skills: Individual capabilities that can be combined to create complex workflows within AOPs
- Workbench: Management interface for monitoring and managing scheduled triggers for AOPs
