What are Skills?

Modified on Tue, 22 Apr at 6:42 PM

Skills are specialized abilities that you can add to each agent to customize their functionality according to your specific needs. For example, Google search, Wikipedia access, YouTube search, etc. These skills empower agents to perform a variety of tasks efficiently, enhancing their capability to support your tasks.

How to Add?

To add a skill to your agent, go to the Super power tab in the Agent configuration (the Gear icon under each Agent's profile). Once added, these skills will be conveniently listed in the Skills section of the Agent info area, allowing you to easily manage and review the capabilities of each agent.

Another way to add skills to your designated agent is by doing it right from the chatbox.

How to Use?

Choosing the right skills for your agents is key to maximizing their efficiency and meeting your specific needs. Here’s how you can decide:

1. Explore Skill Descriptions

Start by reading the description provided under each skill in the Skill section. These descriptions provide a concise overview of each skill's function and its applications.

2. Dive Deeper into Skill Details

If you’d like a more in-depth understanding of a skill—how it works, when to use it, and examples of its application—check out our detailed articles on each skill HERE. These resources are designed to help you make informed decisions.

3. Let the Agent Decide with Auto Mode

Not sure which skills to equip? No problem! Simply toggle on the Auto option in the Skill section, and your agent will autonomously reason and select the most relevant skills for the task at hand.

This feature is perfect for newcomers who want to experiment with different skills without the guesswork. It’s also a time-saver for experienced users handling straightforward tasks.

4. Manual Selection for Complex Needs

For more complex or highly specific tasks, we recommend manually selecting skills to ensure the output aligns perfectly with your expectations. You can also explore some specific use cases that require combining multiple skills HERE.

Note: Each agent can only be equipped with 8 skills at a time. In case the skill is not activated, mention the name of your desired skill in your prompt. Here's an example:
