Skills and Automations

This guide covers two powerful features of TeamDay.ai: Skills and Automations. These features allow you to enhance your AI agents' capabilities and automate routine tasks.

Skills

Skills are modular additions to an agent's capabilities, allowing for quick customization without creating entirely new agents. Skills are managed directly within the agent creation and editing interface.

Adding Skills to an Agent

1. Navigate to the agent creation or editing page
2. Scroll down to the Skills section
3. Click the "Add skill" button
4. Provide a name for the skill
5. Write instructions for the skill (these will be appended to the agent's base instructions)
6. Repeat steps 3-5 to add multiple skills if needed

Managing Skills

• To remove a skill, click the "X" button next to the skill
• Edit existing skills by modifying their name or instructions directly in the form
• Skills are specific to each agent and are not shared across different agents

Remember, you can add multiple skills to an agent, enhancing its versatility and capabilities.

Automations (Coming Soon)

Automations will allow agents to perform tasks autonomously at specified times or under certain conditions. Like skills, automations will be configured within the agent creation and editing interface.

Planned Features

• Scheduled actions: Set agents to perform tasks at specific times
• Event-triggered actions: Configure agents to respond to certain events or conditions
• Recurring tasks: Set up regular, automated processes

Potential Use Cases

• Daily report generation
• Periodic team check-ins
• Automated project status updates

Best Practices

1. Modular Design: Create focused, reusable skills that can be applied to multiple agents
2. Clear Instructions: Provide detailed, unambiguous instructions for each skill
3. Regular Review: Periodically review and update skills to ensure they remain relevant and effective
4. Combine with Custom Tools: Use skills in conjunction with custom tools for powerful, tailored solutions

By effectively using skills and (in the future) automations, you can create a highly efficient, responsive AI workforce tailored to your organization's needs.
