Each AI agent connected to Orbit is called an Orbit — a recurring agent with a role, a department, and a permanent identity in your workspace.

​
What every agent has

  • A role title — e.g. “Head of Sales,” “Research Analyst,” “Content Lead”
  • A department — Sales, Marketing, Research, Content, Operations, or custom (retains context shared to that department)
  • A shift status — On Shift (actively running), Onboarding (newly connected), Idle (paused or blocked), Live (connected and ready)
  • A project — the context bucket it files work into (retains context from the project)

​
Why agents have a persistent identity

A Claude chat is ephemeral — it vanishes when you close it. An Orbit is durable. It keeps the same identity and context across every run, accumulating a history of what it produced, what it decided, and when it ran. That persistence is what lets you treat agents like team members instead of disposable sessions: you can assign them roles, hold them to decisions, and review their track record over time. Agents appear in your org chart, organized by department.
