Guides

Hire a specialist for the jobs you do often.

You started with one assistant. You can have several — each with its own focus, its own way of working, its own corner of your world. You describe it; 1Presence builds it.

An agent is just an assistant with a job

If your first assistant is the brilliant generalist, an agent is the specialist you bring on for one kind of work — an inbox-keeper who drafts your replies, a researcher who reads and summarises, an editor who sharpens your writing. Each one remembers its own brief and gets better at it over time.

You do not fill in a form to make one. You describe the role, the same way you would explain a new hire’s job, and 1Presence sets it up — then it appears in your list of agents, ready to talk to.

Creating one

Make me an inbox-keeper that drafts replies in my voice and never sends without me.

It builds an email specialist, wires it to your inbox, and leaves the send button firmly with you.

I’d like a research assistant that reads links I paste and gives me the gist.

It creates a researcher tuned for reading and summarising, ready for whatever you drop in.

Build a weekly-review agent that sums up what I worked on each Friday.

It sets up the specialist and can run it on a schedule, so the review is waiting for you.

Shaping how it works

Give my editor a drier, more concise tone.

It adjusts that agent’s style; the change sticks for every future conversation with it.

My research assistant should always give me sources.

It updates the agent’s brief, and the habit holds from then on.

Rename this agent to Scout, and give it a compass icon.

It renames and restyles the agent so it is easy to spot in your list.

Putting it to work

Hand this thread to my inbox-keeper.

It passes the work to that specialist, which already knows your voice and your rules.

Ask my researcher to look into this and report back.

The agent does the reading and returns a summary you can act on.

Every agent draws on the same memory of you, so a new specialist is never starting from scratch — it already knows who you are.

How creating an agent goes

  1. 1

    Describe the job

    Say what the agent is for and how you want it to behave — a sentence or two is plenty.

  2. 2

    Answer a couple of questions

    1Presence checks the details that matter — its name, its tone, what it can reach — right there in the chat.

  3. 3

    Meet your new specialist

    It builds the agent, which appears in your list ready to talk to and improve over time.
