Get help with Super Agents

To ask the Super Agent Builder for help:

Ask for help building a Super Agent from scratch

When chatting with the Super Agent Builder, it will likely start with the Agent's instructions. It can also help with triggers, skills, knowledge, and memory. 

You can ask the Builder to help you build an agent from scratch by typing a prompt. 

For example, you could type into the Builder's prompt field:
Can you help me build a backlog refiner?

Ask for help to update an existing Super Agent 

You can chat with the natural-language builder to refine the Agent's instructions, triggers, skills, knowledge, and memory. For example, you could type into the Builder's prompt field:

Can you update this agent so it DMs me the complete report each time?

  • Ask the Builder if there are any contradictions, redundancies, or anything else that might confuse the Super Agent. 
  • Make sure to mention that you want the Builder to look at the entire Super Agent, not just the instructions. 
  • If the answer the Builder gives isn't quite right, tell it specifically what you need instead.
