The Agent Builder is one surface with three tabs. Each authors a different kind of thing.
Chat Agent Builder
Authors a declarative chat agent — no code. An agent has an identity (name, id, description, status, visibility, categories) and one or more modes. Each mode is a prompt plus the capabilities you attach to it.
Use this when you want an agent a person can talk to.
Workflow Pipeline Builder
Composes and schedules runs — single or multi-stage, on a drag-and-drop canvas. A stage points at an agent and a mode. Pipelines can be scoped to one workspace or run globally across all of them.
Use this when work should happen on a schedule or over a batch of documents, with no one watching.
App Agent Builder
Mounts an app agent, whose runtime is a code component rather than a prompt. These are wired, not authored — the scaffold exists as a skill, but each app needs a hand-built component.
What you attach to a mode
- Tools — what the agent can do (publish a post, run research, generate an image).
- Connectors — accounts it can act through (Reddit, Gmail, Google Drive).
- Knowledge — knowledge bases it can search for grounded answers.
- People — teammates it can escalate to when it needs a human.
Everything is drag-and-drop from the Library rail on the left, or click to add.
