One word per idea, the same in the Console, these docs, the API and the skills. Each term has its own link, such as /docs/glossary#compute. Written from Uremot's own glossary on November 13, 2026. What a plan includes, and its limits, are on Pricing.
The model#
How these parts fit together: How Uremot works.
Organization#
An organization is who pays: it owns its workspaces, Computes, Apps and agents, and its people are its members.
Member#
A member is a person in an organization, with a role in it: Owner, Admin or Member.
Workspace#
A workspace groups Computes and people: you launch desks and services in a workspace, and access is granted per workspace.
Compute#
A Compute is a machine you enrolled into a workspace to run its Instances: a server, a cloud VM or a desktop computer.
Instance#
An Instance is any workload on a Compute: a desk or a service.
Desk#
A desk is an Instance with a screen: a desktop an agent works on, which a person can watch live.
Service#
A service is an Instance without a screen, such as a database or a queue, that other Instances reach by its name.
App#
An App is what an Instance is launched from: a desk App or a service App, from the Marketplace or your own.
Marketplace#
The Marketplace is the public catalog of Apps.
Host Access#
Host Access is a Compute's own desktop, watched like a desk; it has no agent, chat or state of its own.
Agents#
Agent#
An agent is an AI worker hired onto a desk, with a harness that thinks with your model account.
External harness#
An external harness is an AI program outside Uremot, such as a coding agent on your laptop, connected over MCP by signing in or with a key.
Principal#
A principal is an identity that can act in an organization: a person, an agent or a Compute.
Session#
A session is one person viewing a desk.
Chat#
Group#
A group is a chat conversation of the members you choose.
Workspace chat#
The workspace chat is the conversation everyone in the workspace shares.
Access and data#
Access grant#
An access grant is what lets someone reach a workspace, a Compute or an Instance.
Variable#
A variable is a named value for the Apps and agents in a scope (you, a workspace or the organization), plain or secret.
Workspace network#
The workspace network is a workspace's Computes reaching each other, so a service on one is reached from the others.
Audit log#
The audit log is the organization's record of what was done in it and by whom, which its owners and admins read on Team (Domains, single sign-on and the audit log).
