What Happens After Onboarding

Understand what Cofounder sets up during onboarding and how your workspace is organized once you are ready to start work.

Your Workspace Is Already Structured

After onboarding, Cofounder should feel like a working company system, not a blank sandbox.

After onboarding, your workspace already has departments for the parts of the business you want to run, agents inside those departments, shared company context, and a place to review the work they produce.

What Onboarding Sets Up

Every onboarded workspace gets:

  • starter departments and agents aligned to the way the company runs
  • shared company and product context for those agents to use
  • a roadmap with suggested work across the business
  • a shared Library for files that agents and users need to reference across work
  • connection points for the tools and data sources the company already uses

Your core product remains in your own codebase and engineering workflow. Cofounder can use connected product context to support the rest of the company, and it can build the marketing website and other technical business surfaces around the product.

See What Cofounder Does for the product boundary.

Design Onboarding

Design onboarding helps your workspace leave setup with a usable brand direction, not just a blank Design Agent.

During design onboarding, you can choose a starting vibe, add reference images, describe what the brand should feel like, and generate a brand kit. You can review earlier brand-kit versions before locking one in.

When the brand kit is ready, you can copy or download the brand-kit image. Cofounder saves the design context for future Design Agent work and then moves you into the first Canvas handoff.

If you need to move on before brand setup is complete, you can skip design onboarding and come back to design work later.

Multiple Organizations

Multiple organizations are available on paid subscriptions. Each organization requires its own subscription.

The $15 free credit applies only to the first organization on your account. If you create or join additional organizations, those organizations do not receive a separate $15 free credit.

How That Maps To Departments

Cofounder organizes work through departments.

A department owns a slice of the company, and the agents inside that department inherit the context, tools, and scope that make sense for that lane of work.

For example:

  • the Engineering department might contain agents that build the marketing site, implement internal workflows, or turn a product request into a crisp handoff for the coding tools used in the core product repo
  • the GTM or Marketing department might contain agents focused on launches, messaging, campaigns, and the marketing repo

What Agents Actually Do Next

Once onboarding is complete, the normal flow is:

  1. Open Canvas.
  2. Check the Company view to understand stack status, active agents, and any available metrics.
  3. Use the Roadmap or suggested next tasks when you want a guided next step.
  4. Go to the department that owns the job.
  5. Choose the agent with the right scope.
  6. Give it a concrete task.
  7. Review the result from the task detail page or the Canvas attention queue, then refine the setup if needed.
