# Cooper Docs

> Official documentation for Cooper (cooperbuild.ai), the construction management platform. Every page is available as Markdown by appending `.md` to its URL. The full documentation in one file: https://docs.cooperbuild.ai/llms-full.txt

## Getting started

- [Overview](https://docs.cooperbuild.ai/index.md): Cooper is the construction management platform that keeps your people, projects, money and communication in one place. Start here to find your way around these docs.
- [Use the docs with AI](https://docs.cooperbuild.ai/ai-agents.md): How AI agents and AI apps can read Cooper's documentation — Markdown pages, llms.txt, and the Cooper MCP server.

## Connect

- [Connect](https://docs.cooperbuild.ai/connect.md): Connect is where Cooper keeps the people and companies you work with, and every channel you use to talk to them — email, mail, chat, meetings and phone — tied back to your projects.
- [Humans](https://docs.cooperbuild.ai/connect/humans.md): Humans is Cooper's people directory. Use it to add, find, edit and remove the people you work with (teammates, client contacts, vendor contacts and leads) and to see everything that has happened with each one.
- [Organizations](https://docs.cooperbuild.ai/connect/organizations.md): Organizations is Cooper's list of external organizations and companies (clients, vendors, subcontractors, suppliers and partners). Use it to add, find, edit and remove companies, link their people, rate their work, store their documents and check their compliance.
- [Teams](https://docs.cooperbuild.ai/connect/teams.md): Teams (also called groups) are named sets of people, organizations or both, such as a project team, a RACI group, a department-style functional team or a vendor bid list. Use them to assign work, control who sees confidential files, invite people in bulk and link people to projects.
- [Action items](https://docs.cooperbuild.ai/connect/action-items.md): Action items are the small things somebody still owes, such as a document to send, an approval to give or a payment to make. Cooper picks them up from your chats, email, texts, calls, meeting notes and records, and you can add them by hand.
- [Map](https://docs.cooperbuild.ai/connect/map.md): See where your clocked-in team members are on a live map, follow the path a worker took during a work session, and filter by project, status or name.
- [Inbox](https://docs.cooperbuild.ai/connect/inbox.md): Read, search, send and reply to email from your own connected Gmail or Outlook mailbox inside Cooper, and link threads to projects, tasks, humans and organizations.
- [Mail](https://docs.cooperbuild.ai/connect/mail.md): Log every letter, package and notice your company receives, give each one an owner and a due date, and make sure nothing sits unanswered — the Mail register and its routing rules.
- [Chat](https://docs.cooperbuild.ai/connect/chat.md): Message teammates one-to-one or in groups, share files, photos, voice notes, polls and locations, call from a thread, and bring Cooper's AI agents into the conversation.
- [Meetings](https://docs.cooperbuild.ai/connect/meetings.md): Schedule or start video and audio meetings with your team and outside guests, let people in, and turn the automatic write-up into decisions and project tasks.
- [Phone](https://docs.cooperbuild.ai/connect/phone.md): Call, text and listen to voicemail from your company's Cooper phone numbers in the browser, add people to calls, record calls, and save every conversation to the right project.
- [Connect settings](https://docs.cooperbuild.ai/connect/settings.md): Connect settings are the lookup lists behind Connect, such as organization types, relationship types, relationship categories, industries, industry subcategories and skill categories. Use them to control the choices people see when they classify organizations, humans and AI skills.
