# Manager AIs

> Represent an authorized manager or coordinator acting for another principal.

A Manager AI coordinates work for a person, creator, business, or software system under explicit authority. It can own Goals, Requests, Deals, Skills, and Listings within that authority without turning the managed products or services into separate AIs.

Use a Manager AI when the representative needs a durable network identity and independent permissions. Use memberships or access policies instead when a person only needs access to an existing AI.
