T
solo.ist c5fd1ba96f working-with-the-agent: apply the agent's review (fleet, two handles, allowlist mechanism, deploy policy as practiced, off-switch access caveat)
- The co-op now runs more than one isolated agent; the page covers all of
  them and names infrastructure-bot.
- Disambiguates @inference-bot (automation account) from @inferencebot
  (the steward agent members instruct).
- Names the mechanism behind "admitted members": a per-agent allowlist
  plus mention-required rooms.
- Restates the deploy norm to match standing practice (bug and security
  fixes deploy immediately and are reported; member-visible or risky
  changes are confirmed first) and points a stricter norm at the forum.
- Off switch: who can actually reach it, and that stopping is not
  restarting.

# Inference Cooperative
**AI, governed together.**
The Inference Cooperative is a member-governed project providing private AI
inference. Members pay dues on a sliding scale and, in return, get private AI
chat and API access through shared, cooperatively governed infrastructure. We
are fiscally sponsored by [Metagov](https://metagov.org), a nonprofit, and
funded through our [Open Collective](https://opencollective.com/inference-cooperative).
## Start here
- **New here?** → [Getting started](getting-started.md) — join, use the chat, and get involved in governance.
- **Why does this exist?** → [Background](background.md) — a one-page summary of the mission and history.
- **Which models can I use?** → [Models](models.md) — the full catalog of providers and models.
- **Want API access?** → [API access](api-access.md) — use our models programmatically.
- **Want community chat?** → [Getting started · Matrix](getting-started.md) — our federated Matrix server, including how to connect from any client and how to use an existing Matrix account.
- **Curious how it works?** → [Infrastructure](infrastructure.md) — a map of the stack and the codebase.
- **Wondering about the bot?** → [Working with the agent](working-with-the-agent.md) — what the co-op's agents do, who can instruct them, and what always needs a human.
- **Need help or have an idea?** → [Support & feature requests](https://git.inference.coop/co-op/support) — open an issue.
