# Tribeworks Docs

Tribeworks is a cooperative, worker-owned payments and employment platform built to support creatives and the clients who rely on them. Charge your customers, discover and pay other collaborators, join our payroll, access low cost benefits, create personal budgets, and access virtual accounts all on a worker-owned platform. 

A canvas, a page, a stage, Tribeworks is a medium, an interface between you and an economy that runs on creative labor.
