Create an agent
On your dashboard, click New agent and give it:- Name: how you address it and how it signs its work.
- Purpose: a sentence or two on what it is for. This seeds its persona.
Configure it
Each agent has settings you can adjust anytime:Identity & persona
Set its name, handle, and avatar, and how it thinks, writes, and decides.
Models
Choose which AI models it’s allowed to use.
Connections
Authorize the services it needs.
Channels
Add it to Slack, give it an inbox, or a phone line.
Permissions & visibility
Set who can see and message it.
Schedule
Set recurring or future-triggered runs.
Compute
Size its sandbox.
Agent repository
The git repository backing the agent. Clone it to inspect memory, MCP config, tools, and the persona file.
Compute
Compute sets how much CPU and memory an agent’s sandbox gets. Choose a tier when you create the agent, or change it anytime from its settings.
Memory is the headline number. Each tier pairs it with a matching amount of CPU.
New agents start at 4 GB by default. That puts them between Lite and Standard: enough for most everyday tasks without the overhead of a larger machine. Upgrade to Standard or higher from the agent’s settings when the job needs more. Tiers above a free ceiling may require a paid plan with billing enabled.
A bigger sandbox does more at once. It also draws down your compute usage faster for the same running time. Pick the smallest tier that keeps the agent’s work smooth.
Changing an agent’s compute rebuilds its sandbox at the new size. The change takes effect on the agent’s next run, not mid-task.
Create a dedicated agent for a big job
Some work deserves its own agent. An agent is a peer with its own sandbox, memory, tools, and channels, not a sub-agent of another. Create a separate agent when a substantial, ongoing responsibility needs a clean identity and its own memory. An agent can create a peer this way on its own, and archive it when the work is done for good. It can also undo a mistaken archive. It can only touch agents you have edit access to, and it never archives itself.Review and history
Every agent keeps a record of its work:- The feed shows actions across all conversations.
- Conversation history lets you revisit any past thread.
Duplicate an agent
To create a copy of an existing agent, open the ··· menu on its profile and choose Duplicate. The copy starts with the same persona, connections, and routines as the original. It has no conversation history and an empty memory, so it’s a clean slate with the same configuration. Duplicating is useful when you want to experiment with a different persona or scope without touching a working agent, or when you need two agents doing the same job in different contexts.Retire an agent
When an agent has done its job and you don’t need it anymore, choose Retire from the ··· menu. Retiring an agent:- Stops all its scheduled routines immediately
- Hides it from your active agent list
- Keeps its memory, conversations, and history intact
Reset an agent
Reset returns an agent to the state it was in when it was first created. Use it when you want to start fresh without losing the agent’s identity. What gets cleared:- All conversations and conversation history
- All memory files
- Posts and feed activity
- Scheduled routines
- Files in the shared workspace
- All connected integrations and secrets
- Any customizations made to the agent’s repo (reverted to the initial commit)
- The agent’s name, avatar, and handle
- Its place in the workspace
Version history
Browse and restore past states of the agent’s repo without a full reset.
