Agents
Overview
Agents are specialized AI assistants you can select in Chat. Each agent bundles instructions and curated context so the assistant responds with a consistent “lens” (for example: pipeline analysis, onboarding support, or renewal risk).
Usage
General usage
- Select an agent to switch the assistant into a specialized mode with pre-configured context and behavior.
- Use “No agent” when you want the default assistant behavior.
Creating an agent
Create agents from the workspace Agents page. You can start from a template or from a short description, then refine the configuration.
What you can configure:
-
Identity
- Name and optional description (what the agent is for)
- Category (for organization and discoverability)
- Icon (so it’s easy to recognize in Chat)
-
Instructions
- The agent’s instructions define how it should behave (priorities, style, and how it should approach analysis).
-
Context (what the agent “knows” by default)
- Memories: pre-selected knowledge the agent should always have available.
- Prompts: reusable starting points the agent can expose for common tasks.
- Document folders: default folders that the agent can search within when answering.
-
Tools
- Agents can define which tools are enabled for the conversation (for example, web search or code execution) so the behavior is consistent for the task.
Using an agent in Chat
-
How to use an agent
- In the chat composer, open the Agent selector.
- Choose an agent (or choose No agent to return to the default assistant).
- Once selected, Chat uses the agent’s instructions and configured context.
-
How memories work with agents
- Default mode (no agent): Chat can automatically recall relevant memories for each question and build an auto-updating conversation context (you can lock it).
- With an agent selected: the agent’s pre-configured memories become the base context, and Chat does not automatically expand memory context on its own.
-
Tools and context are managed by the agent
- When an agent is selected, the conversation’s tool settings and default document folders follow the agent configuration.
Examples
-
Renewal Risk Agent
- Purpose: summarize churn risks, surface drivers, and recommend next actions.
- Best for: account reviews, renewal prep, and weekly risk reporting.
-
Pipeline Hygiene Agent
- Purpose: spot inconsistent fields, stale opportunities, and missing next steps.
- Best for: sales ops checks and forecasting prep.
Features
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Specialized behavior | Uses agent-specific instructions so the assistant stays consistent in tone, priorities, and approach. |
| Curated context | Starts with agent-selected memories and prompts so responses are grounded from the first message. |
| Scoped sources | Can include default document folders so the agent can search within a known set of documents. |
| Tool settings | Can manage which tools are enabled for the conversation (for example, web search or code execution). |
| Discoverability | Agents can be categorized, searched, and surfaced by usage (most-used agents show up first). |
