## Example: New ops hire at VoltRide

**Aisha** joins as Operations Coordinator. Day 1 questions:

| She asks Co-Admin…                                 | Why                  |
| -------------------------------------------------- | -------------------- |
| “What’s connected in this workspace?”              | Channel sanity check |
| “How do broadcasts work?”                          | Product learning     |
| “How many open threads?”                           | Morning standup prep |
| “Difference between AI Agents and Generate Reply?” | Avoid mixing tools   |

No engineering ticket. No 30-tab settings hunt.

## Co-Admin vs customer AI Agents

|          | **Co-Admin**                     | **AI Agents**            |
| -------- | -------------------------------- | ------------------------ |
| Audience | Your employees                   | Your customers           |
| Location | **AI Workspace Co-Admin**        | **AI Agents** + **Chat** |
| Data     | Product docs + workspace metrics | Your FAQ & website       |

Deep comparison: [Co-Admin vs customer AI Agents](/co-admin/co-admin-vs-customer-ai-agents).

## Privacy

Scoped to **your current workspace** and your permissions. Use **Chat** for reading customer messages — use Co-Admin for operating the platform.

***

## Tip for managers

Ask for an overview at the start of team meetings. Compare with **Analytics** for last week’s campaign performance — live snapshot vs historical trends.
