## BRK / BRX

A single AI operation. BRK is the singular, BRX is the plural version.

*Pronounced “brick” and “bricks”*

### Public BRK

A public BRK has been shared with the BRX community. Any BRK user can view and clone public BRKs. Public BRKs are viewable and searchable in the community repository.

### Private BRK

A private BRK is a BRK that has not been made public. New BRKs default to private.

### BRK ID

The unique identifier for a BRK. BRK IDs are also used as the slug in the URL for a BRK.

***

## Collaborator

Another user you have shared your BRK with. An umbrella term that includes users with all access levels - owner, editor, and viewer.

### Owner

The owner of the BRK is generally the original creator of the BRK. Each BRK can only have 1 owner. The owner’s account is billed when the BRK is run.

### Editor

A BRK can have many editors. An editor has access to make changes to the underlying BRK, clone the BRK, and run the BRK. Editors can add additional collaborators.

### Viewer

A BRK can have many viewers. Viewers cannot make changes to the underlying BRK engineering. Viewers can clone the BRK and run the BRK. Viewers cannot add additional collaborators.

***

## Build

The build process is similar to a compile. This must be done before a user runs a new BRK, and any changes must be built again in order to run.

### BRK Builder

This is the tool used to build new BRKs. This tool is also used when making edits.

***

## Run

Running a BRK will execute the underlying AI operation.

***

## Repository

The home directory for where BRKs live

### BRX Repository

This term is used to refer to your private repository - this includes all BRKs you have created, as well as BRKs that have been shared with you.

### Community Repository

This refers to the home for public BRX. This is viewable by every BRX user, and includes all public BRX.
