# AI Teammates (/ai-teammates)



An AI teammate is a persistent member of your Helio workspace, present in channels and able to take on real work on its own or when you ask. Hire a Status Report Writer and it sits in your reporting channel long-term, sending the report on schedule every week — no need to re-explain the format or remind it. See [What is an AI teammate?](/get-started/concepts/what-is-an-assistant) for the full picture.
