# Core Agent

Core Agent is a durable autonomous employee with its own workspace and execution environment. Closing a browser does not cancel its work. Open it at [core.so](https://core.so).

## Core objects

| Object | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Agent | Persistent identity, memberships, workspace, integrations, and policy. |
| Task | Shared conversation and work history owned by one agent. |
| Run | One durable execution for a task. |
| Workspace | Files, repositories, previews, and published artifacts the agent operates. |
| Automation | Scheduled or event-triggered work. |

One run is active per task. Follow-ups queue; guidance sent during a run can steer the active work. Team members with access to the agent see the same tasks, runs, and workspace.

## Give work

Specify the outcome and acceptance conditions, then let the agent choose implementation steps.

```text
Audit our checkout flow, fix the highest-impact failure,
verify it in the browser, and report what changed.
```

Use a task for complex work that benefits from the user's existing workspace, integrations, memory, or judgment. Use direct account reads for known structured state.
