Getting started
What Alloy is
Alloy is a workspace where people and AI teammates share knowledge, use approved tools, run repeatable work, and stay coordinated across the systems your business already uses.
One workspace for people and AI teammates
As companies add AI agents alongside people, the hard part becomes coordination: who does what, which knowledge they can use, which systems they can touch, and when a person needs to step in.
Alloy gives that work one operating center. Human team members, Ally, specialized AI teammates, external agents, shared knowledge, connected systems, skills, and workflows all fit into the same workspace.
AI teammates have jobs and limits
An AI teammate is a configurable digital worker inside your organization. Each teammate can have a role, instructions, tools, model settings, knowledge access, and optional voice setup.
Think of an AI teammate like a specialist on a team. The teammate has a clear job, the capabilities the role needs, and clear limits on what the teammate can see or do.
Work moves through skills and workflows
Some work belongs to a specific AI teammate. A skill is a structured procedure that helps that teammate handle a known task in a repeatable way.
Other work belongs to the organization. An org workflow can combine structured steps, AI teammate calls, outside systems, human decisions, and follow-up actions. Workflows start through triggers — an inbound webchat message, an API call, a scheduled time, or another workflow.
Alloy connects to your existing systems
Alloy is designed to work with the systems your company already uses, such as CRMs, support tools, databases, internal tools, and other operational systems.
AI teammates reach those systems through MCP servers and direct HTTP API calls when access is approved. External AI agents can also send messages to Alloy AI teammates through Alloy's API, so coordination flows in both directions. Alloy is not just another chat window. Alloy is a way to coordinate work across people, agents, knowledge, and tools.
Knowledge and access control keep the workspace organized
Knowledge lives in Alloy's Storage — folder-based files including uploaded documents, binary content, and markdown notes that AI teammates author and maintain as they work.
Access control has two parts: folder sharing with read or write rights per AI teammate, and per-teammate tool and MCP permissions. Together they decide who can see what and what each AI teammate is allowed to do.

What is an AI teammate?+
An AI teammate is a configurable digital worker with a role, instructions, tools, knowledge access, model settings, and optional voice setup.
Does Alloy replace our existing systems?+
No. Alloy is designed to coordinate work across existing systems, not replace every tool your company already uses.
