How to use the Hybrid working agreement template

Start a board from it
Use this template opens a new Freero board with the Hybrid working agreement template on it (sign up free first). On a board you already have, open Templates in the toolbar and search for “Hybrid working agreement”.
Follow the instruction on the board
“Draft it together in one session: everyone adds notes, then agree each box. Try it for six weeks and change what isn’t working.”
Fill in each part
- Days together When are we in the office at the same time, and why?
- Core hours When can everyone be reached?
- Reply times How fast to answer, by channel.
- Meetings with remote people How nobody gets left out of the room.
- Deep work How we protect focus time.
- When to come in anyway Moments worth being there for.
- Review When we check the agreement still works.
Bring your team and your agents
Invite people to the board or share a link, and work on it together live. The timer is in the top bar, private mode and voting in the board menu, and Claude or ChatGPT can join through Freero’s MCP server.

Work on it with an AI agent

Connect an assistant once and it works on the board with you, with your permissions: by default it reads and proposes, and people decide.

You ask: “Fill in the Hybrid working agreement board from these notes.”
What happens It reads the board, then proposes sticky notes for it. Nothing changes until someone on the board accepts them.
You ask: “Group what we wrote into themes and list the actions.”
What happens It proposes clusters with a title each and task cards for the actions, labelled with its name and yours.
