Start faster with curated Agent Builder templates and customize tools, prompts, and triggers.

Agent Builder includes starter templates to help you create agents quickly. Templates include predefined instructions, tools, and triggers (if applicable) for common use cases. You can use templates as-is, or as a baseline to customize.

If you’re new to Agent Builder, start with the step-by-step quickstart to build your first agent using a template.

Features#

Templates are pre-configured agents designed for specific use cases. Each template includes the following components:

Pre-configured tools#

Templates come with a curated set of tools that enable the agent to perform specific actions. For example, an email assistant template includes tools for reading, sending, and organizing emails. Tools connect to external services through OAuth authentication, allowing your agent to interact with apps like Gmail, Slack, or Linear. For a complete list, refer to Supported tools.

System instructions#

Each template includes a system prompt (also called instructions) that defines the agent’s behavior, personality, and capabilities. The system prompt guides how the agent interprets user requests and uses its available tools. You can customize these instructions to match your specific needs.

Triggers (optional)#

Some templates include triggers that allow agents to respond to external events automatically. For example, a Slack bot template might include a trigger that activates when someone mentions the agent in a channel. Triggers enable proactive agent behavior beyond chat-based interactions.

Cloning and customization#

Templates serve as starting points that you clone to create your own agent. When you clone a template, you create an independent copy that you can customize without affecting the original. You can modify prompts, add or remove tools, attach different triggers, and switch models to tailor the agent to your requirements.
