Teams and members

A team is a group of members

Press + on a team and the first question is what the member IS - not which AI drives it. An AI member is one option. So is a browser, a notes surface, or a plain terminal.

Every member gets its own row in the team, its own name and photo, and its own view. A browser member holding your API docs sits next to the agent that reads them, because both are part of how the team works.

• AI member - its own working folder, memory, and AI runtime
• Browser - a page that stays open in the team
• Notes - a Markdown writing surface over the team folder
• Terminal - a plain shell, no AI attached

What each kind costs you

Only AI members set up a repository and a memory scaffold, so only they take a moment to appear. A browser, notes or terminal member is created instantly: it points at the team folder and opens straight away.

Removing a member never deletes a folder it merely worked in. Only a working copy ReplicaMD created for that member alone is cleaned up - your team folder stays exactly where it is.

Start a member from a preset

When you add an AI member you can start it from a preset published on the website. A preset carries the runtime, the role, a system prompt, and the plugins that member should have - and applying one installs those plugins before the member is created.

You can go the other way too: right-click any AI member and choose Save as preset to publish how it is set up, so the next one starts there.
