Skills are pre-built capabilities that give your agents specialized knowledge. When you attach a skill to an agent, it gains expertise in that specific area—like working with PDFs, creating documents, or building presentations. Think of skills as expert guides that help your agents handle specific types of tasks without needing detailed instructions in your AOP.

​
How Skills Work

Skills extend what your agents can do. Each skill contains specialized knowledge about a particular topic or capability. When an agent has access to a skill, it draws on that expertise automatically when relevant tasks arise. Skills work alongside connections. While connections connect your agents to external systems (like Gmail or Google Sheets), skills provide the knowledge needed to work with specific types of content.

​
Skills and Agents

Skills are attached per agent. When building or editing an agent:

Open the agent

Open the agent you want to configure.

Find the Skills section

In the agent settings, find the Skills section.

Select skills

Select the skills you want the agent to use.

Save

Save your changes.
Your agent will automatically use its attached skills when relevant. You don’t need to reference skills in your AOP—the agent uses them naturally based on the task at hand.
