Core concepts in 5 minutes

A quick map of the words you'll see everywhere in Brohns.

Ecosystem

A self-contained team of agents working toward one goal, with its own data, workflow and (later) integrations. Ecosystems are isolated — what happens in one is invisible to another.

Agent

A single worker inside an ecosystem with a role (e.g. 'Sourcing'), a task, a workflow, an autonomy level and its own timeline. Agents can have sub-agents that support them.

Bro

The conversational layer on top of one ecosystem. Bro builds ecosystems, answers questions about the one you're in, and (later) steers the agents — always within that single ecosystem's boundary.

The islands world

Each ecosystem is drawn as a living map: Bro at the centre, an island per agent, satellites for sub-agents, and glowing lines along the workflow.

The trust ladder

How much an agent may do on its own. It starts by proposing; it only earns more autonomy over time. See 'The trust ladder'.

Approvals

The Action Center collects everything every agent proposes — outreach and replies — so you can review, edit, approve or skip in one place.

The credential vault

An encrypted store for the API keys agents need to go live (maps, email, Claude). Keys are read server-side only, for an action you approved.
