The agency allows Angel to openly advertise his willingness to assist people in trouble without specifying the agency's specialization in supernatural cases; their slogan We Help the Helpless is especially appealing to people who are unfamiliar with the supernatural world and therefore are afraid to ask for help, fearing they will be considered crazy, but who are nonetheless in desperate need of aid.
Throughout most of the series' run, the agency has employed most of the characters, and provided the series with a steady income of storylines. Because of this, AI is somewhat synonymous to the group of main characters. It is also known as Team Angel, a term that could be employed even following the demise of Angel Investigations as a business.

Story of the Agency
The agency is founded by Angel sometime between the first and second episodes of Season One. Angel makes friends with Doyle, a half-demon who's been given visions by The Powers That Be of people in need of Angel's help. Allen Francis Doyle is a Fictional character created by Joss Whedon for the cult Television series, Angel. In Spirituality including Religion, visions comprise Inspirational renderings generally of a Future state and/or of a mythical The Powers That Be is a title for the enigmatic and ancient forces that assist the side of good in the WB Television series Angel. After they successfully rescue former Sunnydale associate Cordelia Chase, she joins them and encourages them to front their operations with a detective agency, with the hope of having a steady paycheck while she attempts to make it as an actress. Sunnydale California, is the fictional setting for the US television drama Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Cordelia Chase (born January 1981, in Sunnydale, California, Cordelia also coins their slogan, "We help the helpless" and designs their business logo, a stylized angel which resembles "a lobster".
Halfway through Season 1, Doyle passes his visions on to Cordelia just prior to his death. Another old Sunnydale friend, self-styled "rogue demon hunter" and former Watcher Wesley Wyndam-Pryce, joins Angel Investigations soon thereafter bringing an extensive knowledge of demons and magic to the agency. Wesley Wyndam-Pryce (also spelled Wyndam-Price When Faith goes rogue after accidentally killing a human being the Scooby Gang neglect to inform Wesley and At the end of season one, street tough vampire hunter Charles Gunn also joins AI, adding much-needed brawn to their group. Charles Gunn (born 1978 in Los Angeles, California) is a Fictional character created by Joss Whedon for the cult Television series AI originally operate out of Angel's residence, a basement apartment beneath a ground floor office space comprised of an inner executive office and an outer reception area. At the end of the first season, however, an agent of the evil law firm Wolfram and Hart blows up the building.
Cordelia's residence is pressed into service as AI headquarters until shortly into Season 2, when AI moves to a new location, the Hyperion Hotel. The Hyperion Hotel was a fictional home base for Angel in the television series Angel during the middle seasons of the show Now empty and all but abandoned, the Hyperion is a luxury hotel where Angel stayed in 1952. The Hyperion was abandoned due to a demon that drove the occupants to insanity. AI kills the demon and takes control of the building for use as their headquarters. The manager's office in the lobby is used by Angel (and later Wesley) and several of the empty rooms are used as a residence for various characters. Halfway through season two, Angel fires his three colleagues after escalating disagreements about his growing moral corruption. Instead of disbanding while Angel deals with his private issues, Gunn, Cordelia, and Wesley continue running AI without him in a rented office. They opt to keep the name "Angel Investigations" because they feel they are continuing the "mission" that Angel started out with. Eventually, Angel rejoins them and their base of operations returns to the Hyperion Hotel. As part of his amends, he agrees to work for them and Wesley is selected as the leader of the team. At the end of the second season, AI spent several episodes in the demon-dimension Pylea, home to friend Lorne. In the fictional universe established by the Television series Angel, Pylea is a world in an alternate dimension where demons are the Krevlornswath "Lorne" of the Deathwok Clan, also known as The Host, is a Fictional character created by Joss Whedon for the Television There they rescue Winifred Burkle, a stranded former physics student, who joins the agency at the start of Season 3. Winifred "Fred" Burkle is a Fictional character created by Joss Whedon and introduced by Shawn Ryan for the cult Television series
After a fallout in Season 3, Wesley leaves the group and sets up his own group which is run more as a paramilitary mercenary group than a detective agency. Angel resumes his function as leader with the departure of Wesley.
At the end of Season 4, the agency is dissolved when Angel assumes control over the L. A. branch of their former enemy Wolfram & Hart.
Aforementioned karaoke-demon Lorne, and Angel's son Connor, are also affiliated with the agency, although it is unclear whether they are actually employees. Connor, also known as Connor Angel, Steven Franklin Thomas Holtz and Connor Reilly, is a Fictional character from the Television series
