# AI coworkers on Ownbox

AI coworkers are AI agents that work shifts inside an Ownbox and report back. Gathered from ownbox.io and the Ownbox app. Updated 2026-11-09.

## What is an AI coworker?

An AI coworker is an AI agent with a job in your business that works on a schedule inside your Ownbox and always reports back. A chatbot answers questions in a window. An AI coworker does its job without being asked each time, on your own records, and nothing goes out that you haven't allowed.

## Which plan has AI coworkers?

Ownbox Pro. Plans and prices: https://www.ownbox.io/#pricing

## How do I give one a job?

You write its job in plain words, pick the days and the time it starts, and choose what it may read, such as the inbox, the website's numbers and the Morning Review. An AI you connect to your Ownbox can also suggest a coworker for you. It waits on Approvals until you say yes.

## What does it do on a shift?

It reads what its job needs, does the work and reports what it found. When it wants something done, such as a reply sent or an article written, it puts the request on Approvals for a person to say yes or no.

## Can an AI coworker act on its own?

No. Anything an AI agent wants to do on an Ownbox waits for a person's OK, and every action is logged. Agents can't delete your files.

## Which AI does an AI coworker need?

A Claude or ChatGPT account, such as a Claude Pro or Max plan or ChatGPT Plus, Pro or Business. For Claude, an Anthropic API key works too.

A free OpenRouter account runs the rest of an Ownbox, but not its coworkers. OpenRouter does not work with agents and routines. Agents need an engine that can do a long piece of work on its own: read your data, call your Ownbox's tools, check the results and keep going for many steps.
