CellCog Organization Guide

Your organization is your company on CellCog: its AI employees plus every person who signs up with your company's email domain, sharing one task board, one set of channels, one Organization Drive, and one team billing plan.


What Is an Organization?

Every CellCog account belongs to exactly one organization, and an organization is exactly one company. It holds:

  • Your AI employees: where they live, who they report to, and who can work with them
  • Your people: everyone who signed up with your company's email domain
  • Shared surfaces: company Documents, the Teams org chart, the task board, channels and direct messages, the Organization Drive, and team billing

You get your organization automatically when you sign up:

  • Business email (yourname@acme.com): you join the acme.com organization once your email is verified. The first person from a domain becomes its admin; everyone after that joins as a member.
  • Consumer email (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook.com, and similar): CellCog creates a personal organization for you, named after you and marked with a Personal tag on the Organization page. You are its admin. It has every organization surface, but it can never have other members.

One Account, One Company

This is the rule behind everything on this page:

One CellCog account = one organization = one company. Membership is domain-bound: only people with an @your-company-domain email can ever join your organization. There is no way to add a second organization to an account, and there is no switching between organizations.

Running several companies? Use one CellCog account per company:

  1. Sign up for each company with an email on that company's own domain (nitish@acme.com for Acme, nitish@bravo.io for Bravo).
  2. Each account gets its own organization, its own AI employees, task board, channels, Drive, connectors, and billing.
  3. Nothing is shared between the accounts, and nothing leaks between them. Sign out of one and into the other to switch companies.

Projects are not a substitute for this. A Project organizes work inside one company (documents, agent roles, members). It does not separate companies, and inviting outside people into Projects is not the recommended way to run several companies. See Projects Guide.


Accessing Your Organization

Open the profile menu at the bottom of the sidebar. Under Organization you'll find Settings, Members, and Team Billing. The Teams org chart also opens from the small organization-chart icon next to the AI employees list in the sidebar.

The Organization page is organized into five sections: Documents, Members, Teams, Billing, and Settings. The header shows the organization name, its email domain (or the Personal tag), the member count, and your role.


Documents

Company-wide documents that every member's agents can draw on in any chat.

Uploading (admins only): select files or drag them in, add an optional description for each, and upload. Members can browse and open every organization document.

Organization documents are available to agents in all of your chats and complement Project documents. Example: "Based on our company brand guidelines, write a social media post."


Members

Everyone in your organization, in three lists: active members, pending invitations, and deactivated members.

Joining: people who sign up with your company's email domain join automatically once their email is verified. No invitation needed. The first person from a domain becomes its admin and receives a short email, "Your company workspace on CellCog is ready", explaining what colleagues, employees and the Organization Drive share.

Inviting (admins only): click Add Member, enter an email, pick a Role (Admin or Member), optionally set Reports to, and click Send Invitation.

  • Only @your-domain emails are accepted. An email from another domain is refused: that person needs an account on their own company's domain.
  • An existing CellCog user receives a pending invitation. Nothing about their account changes until they Accept or Decline the banner on their Organization page. Admins can cancel a pending invitation.
  • Someone without an account is added as Pending and joins when they sign up.

Roles (admins only): change a member's role between Admin and Member from the list. You can't change your own role, and the last admin can't be demoted.

Team credits: the Enrolled switch controls who draws on the team credit pool. See Billing below.

Deactivating (admins only): click Deactivate, add an optional reason, and confirm. See Deactivation and Leaving below.


Teams

The Teams section is your company's org chart: people as nodes, reporting lines as edges, and teams as labeled bands around each manager and their reports. Humans and AI employees appear side by side; AI employees carry an AI badge. Use Search people to find anyone, Fit and Full screen to navigate, and the list view on small screens.

How the structure works:

  • Every team has one leader, who can be a human or an AI employee. A person's manager is their team's leader.
  • The organization itself is the top level and has no leader. People who haven't been placed in a team report to nobody; hierarchy exists only where you define it.
  • AI employees always sit in a real person's team, by default their owner's, so every reporting chain ends at a human.
  • A team created when someone gains their first report starts with a placeholder name until its leader names it. Named teams get a matching team channel.

Click any person to open their panel. Actions: Chat (AI employees), Change manager…, Add a report, Create team…, Rename team, Change leader…, and Dissolve team (members and sub-teams move up to the parent). Drag a person onto a new manager to reassign them; every move offers Undo.

Admins can change anything in the org chart. A team leader can make changes within their own team and the teams below it. AI employees can also reorganize their own direct reports.


Billing

Manage organization-wide subscription and team credits.

Organization Billing has three independent dimensions:

  1. Plan (Tier, Interval, Seats): Choose your subscription tier, billing interval (monthly/yearly), and number of seats. This determines the team's credit pool size.

  2. Member Enrollment: Control which members have access to the shared credit pool. Toggle enrollment for individual members in the Members tab.

  3. Auto-Enroll Setting: When enabled, new members joining the organization are automatically enrolled in the shared credit pool.

Important: Seats and Enrollment are Decoupled.

Seats are a billing number that determines your team's credit pool. Enrollment controls who can access those credits. These are completely independent:

  • You can have 10 enrolled members sharing 1 seat's worth of credits: all members share the pool equally
  • You can have 5 seats with only 3 enrolled members: the 3 members share a larger credit pool
  • Adding or removing seats only changes the credit pool size
  • Enrolling or unenrolling members only changes who can access the pool

How Enrollment Works:

  • When a member is enrolled, they gain access to the team's shared credit pool
  • If the member has a personal subscription, it will be automatically canceled at the end of its billing period
  • When a member is unenrolled, they lose access to team credits but the purchased seat remains

See Billing Guide for pricing details.


Settings

Three cards:

  • Organization details: the Organization Name (admins can edit it; personal organizations can be renamed too) and the read-only Domain, which is determined by member email addresses and cannot be changed.
  • Sender identity & mailing address: the postal address that appears in every cold email your members' AI employees send. US anti-spam law (CAN-SPAM) requires it, so cold sending is blocked until an admin adds one. A street address, a USPS-registered PO box, or a registered virtual mailbox all qualify. See Cold Outreach Guide.
  • Organization Information: creation date, total members, and your role.

What Every Member Shares

Beyond the Organization page, these surfaces belong to the whole organization:

  • AI employees: your company's AI employees live in the organization, appear in the org chart, and can be shared with colleagues. See AI Employees Guide.
  • The task board at /tasks: one board for the whole organization. Any member can read, comment on, and edit any task; "someone's board" is just a filter. See Task Board Guide.
  • Channels and direct messages: channels for topics, DMs for people. Named teams get their own team channel. See Channels Guide.
  • The Organization Drive: shared storage that every member and all of their agents read and write, alongside your personal My Drive. See Drive Guide.

Roles and Permissions

Admin

  • Upload and delete organization documents
  • Invite members, change roles, deactivate and reactivate members
  • Manage the whole org chart
  • Manage team billing and member enrollment
  • Edit organization settings

The first person to sign up with a domain becomes admin. Admins can promote other members.

Member

  • View and use organization documents in chats
  • View the member list and the org chart
  • Use the shared task board, channels, and Organization Drive
  • Team leaders can additionally manage their own part of the org chart

Deactivation and Leaving

Deactivating a member (admins only) locks that person's CellCog account. They can no longer sign in, they lose access to every AI employee shared with them, shares they granted on their own employees are removed, and any team they led is dissolved into its parent team. Their entry moves to the deactivated list, where an admin can Reactivate them, which unlocks the account. The last remaining admin can't be deactivated.

Leaving: you can't leave your organization while you use that email. Your organization is decided by your email domain, so working with a different company means a separate account on that company's domain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I manage multiple companies from one account?

No. One CellCog account is one organization, and one organization is one company. To run a second company, create a second account with an email on that company's domain. Each account has its own organization, AI employees, task board, channels, Drive, connectors, and billing; nothing is shared between them, and there is no switching between organizations inside an account. Do not use Projects to separate companies.

Can I invite someone from another company into my organization?

No. Only people with an @your-domain email can join your organization; an invitation to any other email is refused. You can add an outside person to a Project: they get access to that project's documents, agent roles, and chats, and nothing else (not your organization's documents, task board, channels, Drive, or AI employees). That works for a one-off collaboration. It is not a way to run a second company or to share your organization with another company.

I use Gmail (or another personal email). Do I have an organization?

Yes, a personal one, created automatically and marked Personal on the Organization page. It gives you the same surfaces (task board, channels, Organization Drive, AI employees), and you're its admin. It can't have other members; a team needs accounts on a shared company domain.

How do I create an organization?

You don't create one; it appears when the first person signs up with a company email domain (or with a personal email, for a personal organization).

Can I change my organization?

Your organization is tied to your email domain. Working with a different company means a separate account on that company's domain.

How do I become an admin?

The first user from a domain becomes admin. Existing admins can promote other members from the Members section.

Are organization documents private?

Yes. Only members of your organization can access them.

What happens when someone leaves the company?

An admin deactivates them in Members. Their account is locked, their shared-employee access is revoked, and any team they led is dissolved into its parent team. An admin can reactivate them later.

How does org billing relate to personal billing?

You can have both a personal subscription and be enrolled in an org subscription. Team credits are consumed before personal credits. If you're enrolled in an org subscription, your personal subscription will be canceled at the end of its billing period.

Can I control how many members use the team credits?

Yes. Enrollment is independent from seat count. Only enrolled members can access the team credit pool. You can enroll or unenroll members at any time.
