Build an agent

Beyond the default assistant, you can stand up your own agents — each with a persona, its own model, and one or more triggers. They run under your identity with your tools, and record every run so you can see what they did.

Create one​

From chat, describe the agent and how it should fire:

"Create an agent called 'Morning brief' — every weekday at 08:00, summarise my calendar and unread mail and send it to my Telegram."

Under the hood this creates an agents row (persona + model) and a schedule trigger. You can also manage agents from the Agents screen in the web app.

Triggers​

  • schedule — a time or cron-like window ("mon,wed 14:00", "every 30 minutes").
  • sensor — fires on new events (schema in place; dispatch is maturing).
  • webhook — fires on an inbound call.
  • response / decision gate / agent-to-agent — react to an answered escalation, pause for a decision, or delegate to another agent.

Wire an agent org​

Agents can relate to each other — delegate work down, escalate findings up — and you see the graph on a live org chart. When an agent is unsure, it lands an item in your escalations inbox instead of guessing.

A planning agent that reads your journal​

A common pattern: a weekly agent whose persona calls journal_query and drafts content.

"Create a weekly agent 'Blog planner' — every Friday, read my eidan journal entries from the past week and draft two blog-post outlines."

This composes two primitives — the journal and scheduled agents — with no new code. That's the point: capabilities that call each other.
