📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added a 2026 guide to building a company AI brain, covering shared file memory, reusable skills, sandboxed environments, tool approvals, and delivery through team channels and automations.
    • The guide compares this approach with individual assistants, passive retrieval systems, and developer-focused builders. It also outlines a five-layer architecture, six implementation steps, department workflows, hosting and plan details, and build-versus-buy cost considerations.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 51982

Correct the guide before publishing: self-hosting alone does not ensure data residency, visitor approval does not provide staff review, and separate agents need an explicit shared-data mechanism. Also clarify harness compatibility and free-plan limits.

Included review availability: This review used your included allowance. Your plan provides up to 8 included reviews per hour; 7 remain after this review.

| **[Pi](https://agenta.ai/docs/concepts/harnesses-and-models)** | Multi-provider models: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Mistral, Groq, MiniMax, Together AI, OpenRouter, xAI, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint | Teams that want maximum model flexibility across providers and custom gateways on a single harness |
| **[Codex](https://github.com/openai/codex)** ([docs](https://agenta.ai/docs/changelog/codex-harness)) | OpenAI's Codex-optimized models (including GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna, plus GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.2) directly via OpenAI | Fast software engineering, repository analysis, data scripts, and structured tool execution |

Because the harness, model, and credential are decoupled, switching from one model provider to another, or moving from direct API keys to AWS Bedrock, is a two-click configuration change. Your company brain's instructions, skills, shared files, and permissions remain completely untouched.

🎯 Functional Correctness | Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Qualify model and gateway switching by harness.

The article says moving to AWS Bedrock is a configuration change without noting the harness limit. Agenta documents that Codex reaches OpenAI directly and cannot use Bedrock, Vertex AI, or a custom gateway. A team that chooses Codex cannot make that move without changing harnesses. State this constraint where the article promises portability. (agenta.ai)


Next, decide where your company brain runs and how model access is governed:

- **Self-Hosted (MIT Open Source):** If your security posture requires keeping all files, prompts, and run logs inside your own VPC, deploy Agenta via Docker Compose. You get unlimited users, projects, agents, and automations with role-based access control and SSO at zero software licensing cost.

Do not equate self-hosting with keeping prompts inside the VPC.

Docker Compose can keep Agenta’s application and storage on company infrastructure, but the harness sends conversations to the selected model. The article later recommends provider API keys, and Agenta supports direct external model connections. A team following this sentence could send sensitive prompts outside its VPC despite selecting self-hosting for data residency. Specify that the model endpoint, storage, and connected services must also meet the residency requirement. (agenta.ai)

- **Agenta Cloud:** If you want zero infrastructure maintenance without paying a per-seat tax, start on Agenta Cloud Hobby (Free) or Starter ($29/month), which includes **unlimited team members**, unlimited projects, and shared team credentials billed purely on runtime and model credits.

🎯 Functional Correctness | Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Separate Hobby limits from Starter benefits.

This sentence groups Hobby and Starter under unlimited team members and projects. Hobby permits two team members and one project; those unlimited allowances start with Starter. State the Hobby limits here so a team does not choose the free plan for an unsupported rollout. (agenta.ai)


Review the tools attached to your coworker and match permissions to how the agent will be triggered:

- **For interactive coworkers (Chat, Slack, Web Embeds):** Use the default safety posture where read actions (`search`, `fetch`, `list`, file reads) run automatically, and external write or send actions (`send_email`, `post_message`, `update_crm_record`) pause and ask for human approval. In a live chat or Slack thread, clicking **Approve** takes one second and eliminates the risk of an unwanted external send.

🔒 Security & Privacy | Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not treat embed-visitor approval as operator approval.

For a web embed, Agenta shows an approval request to the visitor, who can approve it. The article also proposes embeds for customer portals. If that agent has a privileged external-write tool set to ask, a customer can approve their own requested action; this setting does not provide staff review. Recommend denying privileged writes on visitor-facing agents or routing them to a separate operator-reviewed workflow. (agenta.ai)

| **Product & Operations** | Roadmap priorities, customer interview summaries, weekly KPI definitions, open-items tracker | Weekly metric synthesis, feedback clustering, SOP drafting, vendor comparison | Monday morning cron schedule posting a comparison digest to `#ops-weekly` |
| **Engineering** | Architecture docs, API conventions, release checklists, incident postmortems | PR review helpers, migration verification, trace inspection, docs sync | `Claude Code` or `Codex` harness in isolated sandbox containers with GitHub integration |

Notice the compounding effect: when Product updates `product-facts.md` after shipping a new capability, Marketing's content agent, Sales's battlecard agent, and Support's triage agent immediately work from the updated truth on their very next turn.

Explain how updates reach different agents.

Agenta documents persistent files as belonging to one agent and being available across that agent’s sessions. Updating Product’s product-facts.md therefore does not, by itself, update the separate Marketing, Sales, and Support agents named here. This breaks the article’s central cross-department example. Describe a shared external source or an explicit synchronization step, or use one agent for the example. (agenta.ai)
