Rooms
Who this is for: an owner shaping the office — which departments exist and how each one meets.
What a room is
Section titled “What a room is”A room is a department type from a catalog of 14: Owner’s Office, Finance, Sales, Marketing, Operations & Inventory, Purchasing, HR, Customer Service, Reception, Design Studio, Engineering, and three shared rooms (Meeting Room, Coffee Break, Lounge). A new office starts with six; the rest are added from the catalog.
The type decides three things:
- which roles you can hire into it (a Bookkeeper sits in Finance, a Social Media Manager in Marketing);
- which automations its agents get switched on when they arrive (the room’s automation groups);
- the daily meeting — its default time and who chairs it.
Rooms are laid out automatically; you cannot drag walls.
Add a room
Section titled “Add a room”-
Press Add room at the bottom of the map (or search “room” with ⌘K).
The Add room button on the map —agent/office/rooms-01-add.png -
Give it a Name and pick the Department type. The name becomes the room’s id, so pick the final one now.
-
Set the Time zone if the department works in another zone — every agent in the room runs its schedules in that zone.
-
Optionally switch on the Daily meeting: When (a preset or Custom… cron), the Chair (first agent in the room by default), Send minutes via (the chair’s channel or your Owner’s Office agent), and an Agenda. Save the room first, then add agents to enable the meeting.
Change or remove a room
Section titled “Change or remove a room”Click the room’s name plate on the map to open the same dialog. Changing the Department type is only possible while the room is empty. Remove room deletes the room and is only offered when no agent sits in it.
Ask your agent
Section titled “Ask your agent”Things you can say to an agent in Bakulai Agent:
“add a Marketing room”“change the Finance room's meeting to 17:00”- “which rooms do we have and who sits where?”runs directly
- “add a Purchasing room”asks you first
Limits & safety
Section titled “Limits & safety”- Removing a room is a desktop action; an agent can only tell you which rooms are empty.
- A room’s time zone is written into every member agent’s schedule; changing it moves their jobs.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”- “room … already exists” — another room turned into the same id; pick a different name.
- The meeting never runs — it needs at least two participants: two agents in the room, or one agent plus your Owner’s Office desk.
