Custom AI Agents for Individuals vs Teams: What’s the Difference?

One Assistant, Two Very Different Setups

On the surface, AI assistants might seem the same — a place to ask questions and get things done faster.

But in practice, there’s a big difference between how an assistant works for an individual and how it works for a team.

Unify is designed to handle both. Here’s how the setup, use case, and experience changes depending on who's using it.

For Individuals: Personal Productivity, Your Way

If you’re using Unify solo, your assistant is set up just for you.

That means:

  • Personal calendar integrations
  • To-do list prompts like “What’s next on my list?”
  • Responses adapted to your DISC style
  • Tasks based on your own docs, habits, and preferences
  • A private space to manage your workflow

You can send PDFs, ask questions, create reminders, and get things done — all without needing to switch apps.

It’s a WhatsApp assistant that feels like a second brain.

For Teams: A Shared Source of Truth in One Chat

When used across a team, Unify becomes a shared assistant with access to company-wide data.

Team agents can:

  • Answer staff questions about policies or training
  • Share updates and reminders to multiple users
  • Pull info from PDFs, websites, and company resources
  • Understand team member roles and adjust replies
  • Scale with your team — new hires get instant support

And since it lives in WhatsApp, there’s no learning curve. Just one shared chat, smart enough to help everyone.

Key Differences Between Individual and Team Assistants

Here’s how the two setups compare:

1. Access and Use
An individual assistant is only available to you. You control the prompts, data, and outputs. A team assistant, on the other hand, can be accessed by multiple users inside the same WhatsApp chat — making it a shared source of answers and updates.

2. Type of Information
Individual assistants are trained on your personal documents and reminders. Team assistants draw from company-wide documents like policies, training guides, and manuals, allowing everyone to reference the same accurate source.

3. Personalisation
Your individual assistant adjusts responses based on your DISC profile and communication style. With a team setup, each user can activate their own DISC-based guidance, especially useful when different departments have different needs.

4. Purpose and Workflow
If you’re managing your own workflow, your assistant helps with reminders, scheduling, and content tasks. In a team context, the assistant handles common staff questions, automates admin, and boosts efficiency for everyone.

5. Setup and Scale
Individual setup is instant. With teams, an admin can create one agent and invite others — adding knowledge sources, assigning roles, and scaling as needed.

Built for Both, Right from the Start

Whether you’re a solo professional or a growing business, Unify is built to scale with you.

Start with your own assistant, and when you’re ready — add your team. It’s all inside WhatsApp, and it all works the same way: simply.
