TL;DR 

Choose from 3 prebuilt AI agents - Risk (flags overdue/blocked items), Triaging (classifies & routes new tasks), and Intake (validates request completeness) - or build a Custom agent with your own logic, triggers, and actions for unique workflows.

Overview

You can start with three built-in (prebuilt) agents or design your own custom agent to suit unique workflows.

Triaging Agent 1

  • Purpose: Classify and route incoming work based on content.
  • What it does: Reads new task descriptions, identifies intent, and sets custom field values like priority or category.
  • Ideal for: Teams with high volumes of incoming requests.
  • Setup tip: Define which custom fields to populate and the classification options.

Intake Agent 2

  • Purpose: Validate that new requests contain all required details before work begins.
  • What it does: Reviews task descriptions for missing info and posts validation comments.
  • Ideal for: Teams that rely on structured request intake.
  • Setup tip: Define what "complete" means for your team (e.g., deadline, design link, assignee).

Risk Agent 3

  • Purpose: Identify potential project risks early.
  • What it does: Scans projects and tasks for overdue or blocked items and posts a summary comment.
  • Ideal for: Project managers who want a quick project health check.
  • Setup tip: Schedule daily or weekly runs; the agent posts its risk report as a comment automatically.

Custom Agent 4

  • Purpose: Build your own intelligent automation tailored to your workflow.
  • What it does: You define the role, logic, and triggers; choose actions like posting comments or updating fields.
  • Ideal for: Advanced teams that want to automate unique workflows.
  • Setup tip: Write a clear prompt describing what the agent should look for, how to decide, and what to do in each case. Test it in the Playground before deploying.
