Core Concepts

The vocabulary behind ARX digital workers, governance, and lifecycle controls.

Digital Worker

A digital worker is an AI agent or automated capability with an assigned job, owner, scope, and record.

Cell

A cell describes where a digital worker fits: function, level, and work type. Cells help teams reason about coverage across departments.

Shape

A shape describes the type of work a digital worker performs:

  • Research: gathers and synthesizes information
  • Production: drafts or creates work products
  • Coordination: routes, orchestrates, escalates, or manages handoffs

Cohort

A cohort is a group of digital workers deployed, supervised, or evaluated together.

Supervisor

A supervisor is the accountable human or team responsible for a digital worker's scope, approvals, and review.

Policy Gate

A policy gate decides whether an action is allowed, denied, or escalated for human review.

Personnel Record

A personnel record is the durable history of a digital worker: identity, job, tools, approvals, actions, evidence, and lifecycle state.

Termination

Termination removes a digital worker's access and records the reason and evidence for deactivation.
