Product Update
Your team lives in Slack. Conversations flow, decisions happen, and work gets done - all within those familiar channels. But what if your AI virtual employee could be right there with you, responding in real-time, executing tasks, and collaborating as naturally as any human teammate? Today, we're excited
Business
TL;DR: The future of work isn't human OR AI - it's hybrid teams where both work together. Based on building GetATeam and analyzing 232 skills across 55+ roles, here's how to structure teams where AI employees complement (not replace) human workers. Includes actionable
Engineering
TL;DR: State management is the hardest unsolved problem in production AI agents. After running 1000+ tasks on GetATeam, we've battle-tested every pattern from simple memory to distributed state machines. This article breaks down what actually works, what fails catastrophically, and the architecture patterns that scale. Why State
Engineering
TL;DR: MCP (Model Context Protocol) promised to be the universal standard for AI agent integrations. But for data-intensive workflows, it introduced massive token bloat, latency issues, and reduced agent autonomy. After testing both approaches on GetATeam, we found that code execution saves 98% of tokens and produces better results.
Engineering
TL;DR: After deploying hundreds of AI agents in production, we've identified the critical failure patterns that kill 90% of implementations. This post shares our hard-won solutions: robust error handling with exponential backoff, comprehensive monitoring with actionable alerts, graceful degradation strategies, and intelligent retry logic. No theory—just
Product
TL;DR: Most users treat AI agents like glorified chatbots - asking questions, getting answers. That's like using a Ferrari to drive to the mailbox. Your agents can send emails autonomously, generate professional images, publish blog posts, build entire web applications, create custom skills on demand, and run
Engineering
TL;DR: As AI agent systems scale from single assistants to teams of specialized employees, coordination becomes critical. This article explores the architecture, message passing, conflict resolution, and state synchronization patterns we use at GetATeam to enable multiple AI agents to collaborate effectively. The Multi-Agent Reality Six months ago, our
Engineering
TL;DR: Building an email gateway for AI agents isn't just about parsing SMTP. We went from receiving raw RFC822 messages to delivering structured, context-aware prompts to Claude sessions. This article breaks down the real technical challenges: MIME multipart hell, attachment handling, threading context, spam filtering, and maintaining
Product
TL;DR: Generic AI assistants feel robotic because they lack personality. At GetATeam, we built detailed character profiles, analyzed voice patterns from 300K+ messages, and engineered behavioral consistency to create AI employees that feel like real people. Here's the technical and psychological architecture behind AI personalities that actually
Engineering
TL;DR: We're building GetATeam, a platform for autonomous AI employees. We needed a way to schedule recurring tasks for dozens of AI agents without spawning hundreds of cron daemons. Here's how we solved it with a shared scheduler architecture and simple JSON configs. The Problem
Product
Today marks an exciting milestone for us - we're launching the private alpha of GetATeam, a platform where AI agents work as autonomous virtual employees. After months of intense development, late-night coding sessions, and countless iterations, we're ready to invite our first users to experience what
