One screen shows your whole team: who’s on it, and how much each one has on the go.

​
What it does

Open Cowork → Roster. Every coworker you’ve hired appears as a card. It shows the coworker’s name and role, a few of its capabilities, and how many active tasks it has. Hover over a card for New task, which starts a task with that coworker straight away.

The numbers worth watching

Open a coworker, and its Overview tab shows three figures over a time window you can change. The interesting ones aren’t what people expect. Asked for you is the one to watch. A coworker that asks constantly usually has instructions that are too vague, or capabilities too narrow for its job. A coworker that never asks on sensitive work may need permission rules tightened rather than loosened. Got stuck rising is normally a connection that’s stopped working, or a job that’s outgrown one coworker.

Yes — open it and choose the Activity tab for its full history in order.
Pause it. It stays on the roster, stops working, and keeps everything it learned. See Retiring, re-hiring and templates.
