Agent Templates

What It Does​

Templates are ready-made agent roles for common small-business jobs — instead of writing instructions from scratch, you pick one that's close to what you need and adjust it. Applying a template fills in the agent's name and instructions for you; you can still edit both after the agent is created.

Browsing Templates​

When creating a new agent (see Getting Started), the What should this agent do? gallery shows template cards, filterable by category: All, Customers, Sales, Operations, Creative, and Research. A few examples:

  • Customer Support Agent — handles customer inquiries, troubleshoots issues
  • Sales Assistant — qualifies leads, answers product questions
  • Appointment Scheduler — books, reschedules, and manages appointments
  • Restaurant Host — takes reservations, answers menu questions
  • Property Assistant — answers property inquiries, schedules viewings
  • FAQ Bot — answers common questions from a fixed set of answers
  • Order Tracker — answers questions about order status

If nothing quite fits, Start from scratch is always the first option in the gallery — describe the role in your own words instead.

Scenario

A real estate office creates an agent to field listing questions around the clock. From the template gallery, they filter to Sales and pick Property Assistant, which pre-fills instructions for answering property questions and scheduling viewings. They tweak a couple of details about their specific listings process, then create the agent.

After Applying a Template​

  • The agent's display name and instructions are filled in from the template.
  • Nothing else is copied automatically — the new agent still has no MCP connections and no channels (see Getting Started).
  • You can freely edit the instructions afterward from the agent's workspace files if the template needs adjusting for your business.
