How Lemma works
The whole system on one screen: work arrives through surfaces, agents and workflows move it over tables and files, people steer from apps and approvals.
Pod
A self-contained workspace for one team or process — its agents, data, flows, and permissions live together.
Think of a pod as one operating unit of your business: support, hiring, ads reporting. Everything the work needs — AI workers, business data, automations, and access rules — is scoped inside it.
Keeping each process in its own pod means agents only see the data they should, and you can share one pod without exposing another.
A "Customer support" pod holds the triage agent, the Tickets table, the escalation flow, and the connected support inbox.Read the guide ↗

The mental model
Surfaces bring work in. Inside the pod, agents handle judgment, functions handle rules, and workflows chain them with human approvals. Tables and files hold the state everything reads and writes. Apps and conversations are where people watch and steer. Schedules make it run on a rhythm; connectors let it act in your other tools.
