# Agent

The brief, knowledge, help center, catalog, prompts, saved responses, testing and publishing.

The agent is the configured AI that answers for one app. Everything that shapes
what it says lives here.

## What shapes an answer

| Input | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Brief** | Who the agent is, what it may say, when it hands over. The brief composes and publishes into the agent's system prompt, so edit the brief, not the prompt. |
| **Knowledge** | What the agent can answer from: crawled pages, uploaded documents, authored articles. |
| **Help center** | Structured articles the agent can quote and link. |
| **Catalog** | Structured products or services, with prices and media, so answers carry real detail. |
| **Saved responses** | Verbatim replies for the answers that must be word for word. |
| **Suggestions** | The prompts offered to a visitor who has not asked anything yet. |
| **LLM** | Which model answers, and the limits it runs under. |

## Before you publish

Test against real questions. The **Testing** surface runs your agent headlessly
so you can see what it would say without a customer on the other end. Publishing
is a deliberate step, and until you take it your edits are not live.

- [Writing the brief](/how-to/agent/brief/) the seven prompt types and how they compose
- [Context and compression](/how-to/agent/context/) what a turn costs, and how to shrink it
- [Adding knowledge](/how-to/agent/knowledge/) what it is allowed to know
- [Testing and publishing](/how-to/agent/testing/) preview, cases and assertions, going live
- [Saved responses](/how-to/agent/saved-responses/) replies that must go out word for word
- [Suggestion pills](/how-to/agent/suggestions/) tappable answers to the agent's questions

Still to come: the catalog, the help center, per-agent model settings, and MCP
servers.
