# Core concepts

> The five concepts that explain all of iTeam — in plain language, no technical jargon.

If you understand these five concepts, you understand all of iTeam.

<CardGroup cols={1}>
  <Card title="Agent" icon="bot">
    An AI "employee" with a **role** (e.g., Data Analyst), **skills**, and **tool access**. You chat with it and it executes. [See →](/en/intelligence/agents)
  </Card>

  <Card title="Agent Team" icon="users">
    Several agents working **together** toward a goal, like a department. They coordinate and split the work. [See →](/en/intelligence/agent-teams)
  </Card>

  <Card title="Widget" icon="layout-dashboard">
    An **interactive screen** (dashboard, form, calculator) the agent builds on request — no coding. [See →](/en/chat/widgets)
  </Card>

  <Card title="Process" icon="repeat">
    A **routine** that repeats (every day at 8am, every Monday) and the agent runs on its own. [See →](/en/automation/processes)
  </Card>

  <Card title="Task" icon="square-check">
    A **discrete job** on a board (Kanban-style): to do, doing, done. Agents and people share the same board. [See →](/en/automation/task-board)
  </Card>

## How it all fits together

1. The **Company** is your space (with its own memory and context).
2. Inside it, you create **Agents** and group them into **Teams**.
3. Agents execute **Tasks** (one-off) and **Processes** (recurring).
4. When the result is a screen, it becomes a **Widget**.
5. All of it respecting **who can see and do what** — the [Security & Access](/en/administration/security-and-access) layer.

## Two helpers worth gold

* **iTeam Assistant** — the agent that helps you *build* things in iTeam (agents, forms, processes) by chatting. Think of it as your "setup manager".
* **Memory** — iTeam learns about your company and preferences over time, getting more useful and accurate with each use.
