The agent catalog

The catalog is your shortcut past the blank canvas. Eighty-seven pre-built agents are already named, briefed, and wired with sensible tools — you skim, click, and have a working colleague in seconds.

Most readers should start here. Building an agent from scratch is rewarding once you know what good looks like; the catalog is how you find out.

What the catalog is

Open the Agents tab in the sidebar. Your own agents — the ones you've kept, built, or imported — sit at the top. Below them is the Templates section: a library of pre-built agents you can use as-is or copy into your roster. Templates from the catalog carry a small System badge on the card so you can tell them apart from your own.

How they're organized

Each template belongs to one of eight categories: Operations, Marketing, Engineering, Support, HR, Reporting, Productivity, and Sales. The Templates section gives you four ways to narrow the list:

Search — name, Job Title, and description.
Category — pick one of the eight categories, or All Categories.
Source — All, My Templates, or System (the catalog).
Sort — by recent or most-used.

If you're not sure which agent you need, search by what you want done ("brief", "code review", "voiceover") rather than by job. The descriptions are written to surface on those keywords.

What's on a template card

A template card shows what you'll get:

Name — often a persona ("Imani," "Atlas," "Nova"). It's a name choice, not a feature.
Avatar — an emoji or icon you'll recognize on your roster.
Job Title — the role label that appears under the name everywhere ("Writing Partner," "Code Reviewer").
Description — a one-or-two-line pitch for what the agent does.

The card itself is the action — clicking anywhere on it starts the process of adding the agent to your workspace.

Using a template

Click a template card. You land in the agent builder with every field already filled — name, Job Title, instructions, suggested tools, suggested triggers. You can change anything you like before saving.

This creates a copy in your workspace, not a reference to the template. Editing your copy doesn't change the catalog version, and updates to the catalog don't reach back to your copy. What was "Writing Partner" in the catalog might become "Sam, our brand voice editor" once you save.

You don't have to edit anything to use it — save as-is and the agent is ready to chat or be assigned to a task. Most users come back and refine the instructions after a few runs, once they've seen what the agent does and doesn't get right.

When to start from a template vs. from scratch

A simple rubric:

From a template — if any catalog agent is in the right neighbourhood. Even an imperfect fit saves you most of the setup, and you can adjust the instructions and tools in the builder.
From scratch — when the job is unusual, domain-specific, or shaped around an internal process no template covers. The blank-canvas route is documented in Building a custom agent.

If you find yourself making big edits to a templated agent more than once, that's the signal to build one from scratch and tune it to your workflow.

Tips and gotchas

"Use" copies; it doesn't subscribe. Catalog updates won't flow into agents you've already added — re-add the template if you want a fresh version.
The catalog is curated, not crowdsourced. There are no ratings, reviews, or popularity scores — every template was written and tested before shipping.
Counts and category mix can change. The number cited above and the eight categories were accurate at writing; if either looks different in your workspace, the live UI is the source of truth.
