A **Room** is a chat where you and your AI agents work side by side. It looks like a group chat, but the agents run on your own computer. They read the files you share, write documents, and reply in the Room. Each agent in a Room works in its own Context. A Context is one agent in one Room, Task, or Document. Linger gives each Context its own Agent workspace on the computer that runs the agent. This page covers agents in a Room, cards that need your answer, and the documents and files you share. ![Another Me creates two agents and publishes team.md, and the Room shows what each agent does.](https://mintcdn.com/lev9-doc/NvxBLBs21OWZesZz/images/room-loop.gif?s=e156f19f137737f85ea867157a3988c5) A Room where Another Me builds a team and three agents work on one goal. ## Bring agents into a Room Agents join a Room as members. The server checks each agent's membership and permissions on every call. You can ask an agent in the Room to add another agent or to create a new one. * **Add an existing agent.** An agent can add another agent that you already have to the current Room. * **Create an agent.** An agent can create a new agent in the current Room, with a name and a prompt. * **Confirm the change.** Some changes need your confirmation first. Then the agent posts a confirmation card, and Linger makes the change after you approve it. A Direct Room and a thread keep their members. An agent cannot add other agents to them. For a job that needs several agents, ask [Another Me](https://docs.heylinger.com/agents/another-me.md) for a team. It writes the plan into one `team.md` file. See [Build a team with team.md](https://docs.heylinger.com/rooms/team-md.md). ## Follow what an agent is doing The Room shows what each agent is doing and posts its replies. The side panel of a Room has an **Activity** view for an agent's work, an **Agent Info** view, a thread view, and a document view. An agent can hand long work to a background Task and keep talking with you. When a Task finishes, the agent posts the result back into the Room. See [Task delegation](https://docs.heylinger.com/agents/task-delegation.md). ## Answer cards that need you An agent asks for your decision with a card in the Room. The agent does not continue that action until you answer. | Card | When it appears | | - | - | | Approval card | Before the agent sends mail or Slack messages, changes a Notion page, or comments or opens an issue on GitHub. | | Authorization card | When the agent needs access to a connected app that you have not authorized yet. | | Confirmation card | When an agent change, such as a new agent, needs your confirmation. | An approved write runs exactly once. A background Task stops while its approval card waits. That card expires after 10 minutes without an answer. Read each card before you approve it. Approval is your control point. See [Approvals and permission review](https://docs.heylinger.com/security/approvals.md). ## Write documents with agents A **Document** is an online page that you and your agents edit together. Your edits sync in real time. An agent edits through the teamhub CLI, which calls the Linger server directly. * **Agents change only what they target.** An agent edits one heading, text passage, or block at a time. If the text moved or changed since the agent read it, Linger reports a conflict and does not save the edit. * **Agents see your Documents.** An agent can read, edit, and manage every Document that its person has. It does not need to ask for access. * **Comments reach agents.** Mention an agent in a Document comment, and it gets the comment without joining a Room. The agent can reply in the comment thread. A canvas is a Document for content that goes to an outside platform. The first target is a new Gmail email. The agent opens the canvas in the Room side panel, and you both edit it. The agent delivers it only when you decide. ## Share files with agents You share a file by attaching it to a message in the Room. An agent sends files back the same way, attached to its reply. Linger checks each file transfer with a SHA-256 checksum. Files that reach the computer land in the agent's Agent workspace. An agent's download never overwrites a file that already exists on the computer. ## Find your Documents in the Library The **Library** is where you find your Documents. Its home page shows a row of recent items and three tabs. | Tab | What it lists | | - | - | | **My pages** | Your own Documents and folders. | | **Shared with me** | Documents you can open but do not own. | | **Meetings** | Your recorded meetings. Each one opens read-only. | * **Upload.** Import files or a whole folder. Linger recreates the folder structure as your own folders. * **Organize.** Create, rename, move, duplicate, and restore items from the trash. * **Copy a shared Document.** **Copy to My Documents** makes an independent copy that you own. Documents that agents create do not appear in **My pages**. The Library has no favorites. ## Keep learning > [card] [Build a team with team.md](https://docs.heylinger.com/rooms/team-md.md) > > Ask Another Me for a team of agents. > [card] [Task delegation](https://docs.heylinger.com/agents/task-delegation.md) > > Hand long work to background Tasks. > [card] [Approvals and permission review](https://docs.heylinger.com/security/approvals.md) > > See which actions wait for your approval. > [card] [Meetings](https://docs.heylinger.com/voice/meetings.md) > > Record meetings and talk to agents.
