# Agents overview
> Manage your organization's agent list: create, search, duplicate, and open the workbench.

## 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](/building/agents/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".
Each row shows the agent's avatar (or initial monogram), name, active/inactive status dot, category label, and when it was last updated. Click a row to open the agent detail panel; click **Edit** in that panel to enter the workbench.
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
Click **New agent** in the top-right of the page (only visible with agents write permission).
The **Create a new agent** dialog asks for three things:
1. **Name** (required) — the display name users see in the agent picker. The field shows a live monogram preview as you type.
2. **Model** — a searchable model selector pre-selects the organization default. Pick any model available on this deployment.
3. **Instructions** (optional) — a short prompt you can set now and refine later in the workbench.
Click **Create Agent**. IMP creates the agent and takes you straight to the [workbench](/building/agents/workbench) to complete configuration.
You can also open the create dialog from the command palette: navigate to `/agents?new=1`.
## 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](/building/agents/workbench)).
