CellCog Getting Started Guide

Welcome to CellCog! This guide will help you get started with the platform and navigate its key features.


What is CellCog?

CellCog lets you hire AI employees for any role — general-purpose AI workers that show up with their own inbox, work real shifts, and act on the goals and permissions you set, all while you sleep. Each one is built on CellCog's super-agent foundation: state-of-the-art deep research, content creation, and task automation across every modality (reports, videos, images, code, and much more). You can also work with that super-agent directly in chat.


Quick Navigation Overview

When you log in to CellCog, you'll see the sidebar on the left with these main sections:

Chat Modes Explained

table
ModeBest For
AgentFast, iterative — suitable for most work
Agent CreativeWeb design, 3D generation, and other creative work
Agent TeamDeep research & multi-angled reasoning, every modality
Agent Team MaxMaximum depth for high-stakes work

Agent is the most versatile mode — similar to Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, or Cursor Agent, but built for every modality. One AI agent that works fast and iterates on your feedback.

Agent Creative is a single agent tuned for creative work. It excels as a product manager and designer — web and UI design, 3D generation, visual content, and ambitious one-shot creative builds. Avoid it for programmatic work or deep research — Agent and Agent Team are better fits there.

Agent Team uses multiple agents that research deeply, challenge each other's findings, and deliver comprehensive results. Best for deep research where multi-angled reasoning matters.

Agent Team Max is the same Agent Team with all settings dialed to the max — deeper search, higher reasoning. It's 2-4x more expensive with incremental quality gains. Best for legal analysis, financial decisions, cutting-edge academic research, and other high-stakes work where the extra quality justifies the cost.

AI Employees

See the AI Employees Guide.

Projects

Create team workspaces to share documents and configure specialized AI agents. Perfect for departments or ongoing initiatives.

Drive

Your personal cloud storage. Upload files, organize in folders, and access from any chat. Files in trash auto-delete after 30 days.
