What agents are
An agent is a configured AI assistant your organization makes available for chat. Each agent has a name, model, set of instructions, optional knowledge contexts, and tools — all set in the workbench. End users see and interact with whichever agents they have been granted access to; builders create and iterate on them here.The agents list
Open Agents from the sidebar under the Build group. The page shows every agent your account can read. The toolbar has three controls:- Search — type into “Search agents…” to filter by name in real time. The list narrows as you type; clearing the field shows all agents again.
- Status filter — a dropdown (default “All”) lets you narrow to Active or Inactive agents.
- Sort — choose how rows are ordered: “Last updated” (default), “Newest”, “Name A→Z”, or “Name Z→A”.
If you see an empty list with “No agents yet”, an administrator has not created any agents — or you only have access to agents that have been explicitly shared with you, and none have been yet.
Create an agent
- Name (required) — the display name users see in the agent picker. The field shows a live monogram preview as you type.
- Model — a searchable model selector pre-selects the organization default. Pick any model available on this deployment.
- Instructions (optional) — a short prompt you can set now and refine later in the workbench.
Duplicate an agent
Open the detail panel for any agent and choose Duplicate from the overflow menu (⋯). IMP creates a copy of the agent — with the same instructions, tools, and settings — and takes you to the new agent’s workbench. Renaming it and adjusting configuration is the fastest way to spin up a variant of an existing agent. You can also duplicate from inside the workbench itself (see Workbench).Next steps
