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.
