Glossary

OrgKeep glossary

The terms we use, in a sentence or two each.

Member: Anyone in the organization, human or AI. Every module records that a member did something, whichever kind it is.
AI employee: A member backed by an AI engine instead of a person, with its own role, manager, permissions, budget and responsible human. More about AI employees.
Responsible human: The person accountable for an AI employee and what it does.
Autonomy: How much an AI employee may do on its own, set per action: suggest only, act with approval, or act alone.
Reply policy: The admin setting that decides whom an AI employee may email: internal people only, or external people too, and what it does on a thread with both.
Human-only step: A workflow step that only a person can complete, such as a payment, a contract or a production deploy.
Use access: A vault access level that lets a member use a credential without seeing its value.
Credential broker: The server component that inserts a secret into an outgoing request, so the AI never sees it. How it works.
Vault: A named, encrypted store of credentials that belongs to the organization, a department or a project.
Engine: The loop that runs an AI employee: OrgKeep's built-in engine, or a coding agent such as OpenCode, Claude Code or Codex.
Agent Host: A service installed on any machine that runs AI employees there, for example a coding agent inside a project folder.
Model gateway: The single route through which AI employees reach any AI provider or local model.
Skill: Reusable know-how in the open Agent Skills format, a folder with a SKILL.md file, taken from the organization's reviewed library.
Specialist: An AI employee whose home project is a product, brought into customer projects for its expertise.
Container: Something that holds folders and vaults: the organization, a department or a project.
Project link: A "uses" relationship from a customer project to a product project, which shares the product's shared folders one way.
Capability: A kind of outside system that modules talk to, such as Chat or Accounting.
Connector: The implementation of a capability for one product, such as Slack for Chat or QuickBooks for Accounting.
Task tool: The outside system that holds tasks: Tecfy Tasks first, with others to follow. OrgKeep reads tasks there live and changes them through the tool's API, and never copies them.
