If you're a Business plan subscriber and have come across the "Lite User" option in the Members area, you probably wondered: "What exactly can a Lite User do?". The good news is, even as a free option, the Lite User is a pretty powerful way to collaborate and make focused use of AI within a Workspace. Let’s break down everything about it!
Understanding Lite User in Tess AI
A Lite User is a user type that can be added to your Workspace on Tess for free. It was designed for teams who need more people to have access to the AI agents that are already set up inside the workspace, without everyone needing to create their own agents or make full use of the AI Copilot.
What CAN a Lite User do?
The main feature of a Lite User is to interact with and use the existing AI agents already set up in the Workspace. This means that if your team already has agents created for specific tasks—like text generation, answering FAQs, or data analysis—the Lite User can get the benefits straight from these tools, using up the general credits from the Workspace.
Imagine you have an agent set up to create product descriptions for your e-commerce. A member of your Marketing team, being a Lite User, can just open up this agent and use it to get their work done. This is perfect for:
Team members who need quick access to specific AI solutions.
People who don't need to create new AIs but need to use the ones that already exist.
Teams looking to standardize AI usage for certain activities.
Workspace Credits Consumption: It’s important to note that since it’s a free profile, the Lite User uses the workspace’s general credits, but doesn’t get new user-specific credits. Usage in features is just like API usage—so there’s no unlimited model for this user.
What CAN’T a Lite User do?
To keep the Lite User free, some features are restricted:
Create new Agents: Lite Users don’t have permission to develop or set up new AI agents from scratch. Creating agents is a feature for paid users only.
Using AI Copilot for Chat: AI Copilot is the Tess AI area where users can freely create chats, images, videos, narrations, and a lot more, exploring different AIs and models. Lite users don't have access to Chat Copilot—their use is limited to Workspace-created agents and the Image, Video, Transcription, and Narration creation areas.
Tips for Workspace Managers and Owners
To get the most out of the Lite User on your team, check out these tips:
Create Structured and Clear Agents: Take the time to build well-defined agents with clear instructions. The more intuitive and straightforward the agent is, the easier it'll be for Lite Users to use it effectively, without needing to rely on the AI Copilot for individual tasks.
Organize your Workspace: Keep your agents organized and easy to access. Use descriptive names and, if possible, categories that help Lite Users quickly find the AI tool they need.
Communicate the Features: Make sure your Lite Users understand what they can and can't do. Clear communication avoids doubts and makes sure everyone is using the platform in the best way possible.
Focused Collaboration: Encourage Lite Users to use team agents, making collaboration more efficient and on point, getting the most out of AI for as many tasks as possible
