AI Agents are specialized assistants you can create and customize for specific tasks. While a regular chat draws on your entire knowledge base, an agent can be focused on a particular area, given specific instructions, and equipped with tools to get things done.

How Agents Work

1

Create the agent

Give it a name, description, and specific instructions about how it should behave.
2

Configure its capabilities

Choose which tools it can use, which knowledge it has access to, and how it should respond.
3

Start a conversation

Chat with the agent just like a regular conversation — but now it operates within the boundaries you defined.
