Hand over the job, not the steps
A flow runs the same steps every time. An agent gets a written brief and a set of tools, then works out its own route to the outcome. Enable one on your first day, or write your own.
Get startedA brief and a set of tools, rather than a sequence
Most automation asks you to know the answer in advance. You draw the steps, and the steps run in that order forever. That works when the job is the same every time, and it is why flows exist.
An agent works the other way round. You give it a brief in plain English and the tools it is allowed to use, and it decides what to do each time it runs. When the right next move depends on what actually arrived, that decision belongs to the agent rather than to a diagram you sketched based on how you expect things to work.
Before you install one, the setup wizard shows you the brief it will run on and the tools it will be given, so nothing about it is hidden behind a name.
A catalog organized by the work, not by the technology
Every agent below ships with the product, on the Discover page in your account. Turn one on, read its brief, and change it to match how your team actually works.

An agent is yours until you share it
Enable an agent and it runs on your account, on the mail and chat you have already connected. Nobody else sees it, and nothing you have not connected is in reach.
Share it with your team and it appears in their account under Team agents, running on their own connected accounts rather than yours. Adding it to your board agents is a separate step, and that is what makes it one of the delegate options on a DoBox task card.
One limitation worth knowing before you share: MCP connections are personal, so a teammate running an agent you shared does not inherit the MCP tools you connected to it.
The brief is the product
Every agent in the catalog is a brief and a tool list, and yours is made the same way. Describe the job the way you would explain it to somebody joining the team, pick the tools it can reach, and run it.
The brief is where the work goes. An agent with a vague brief produces vague work, and one that knows what "done" looks like for your team produces something you can use. You can edit any of the ones we ship, which is usually a faster start than an empty page.
Flows and agents are two halves of the same system
A flow is the fixed path: a message arrives, a schedule fires, a task changes, and the same steps run. An agent is the judgment. A flow step can hand a job to an agent at the point where the right next action depends on what the message actually says, which means you can automate the predictable part without pretending the rest is predictable too.
