Agent Basics

Understand how agents think, act, and remember.

What is an Agent?

An agent is an autonomous AI component that executes tasks based on defined goals and instructions. It can use tools, query knowledge bases, and make decisions to complete its work.

Agent Properties

Every agent is configured with a name, a role description, and a set of instructions that guide its behavior. You can also assign tools and memory settings per agent.

Triggers

Agents can be triggered in multiple ways depending on your use case:


  • API call: Triggered programmatically from your app

  • Schedule: Runs automatically at set intervals

  • Event: Responds to workflow or system events

Tools & Integrations

Agents can be equipped with tools that extend their capabilities — from web search and code execution to CRM lookups and database queries. Tools are assigned per agent in the configuration panel.
