What is an Agent?

In Zaia Endless, an Agent is more than a chatbot. It is a configurable AI entity that can reason, use tools, and collaborate with humans — all inside a single platform.

Agents are designed to start simple (just a Role and a Prompt) and can be extended step by step with Memory, Knowledge Bases, Tools, Workflows, and external integrations.


Core Identity

Every Agent starts with:

  • Role A short description of what the Agent does. Example: “Assistant specialized in customer onboarding.”

  • Prompt A detailed instruction (up to 5000 characters) that defines how the Agent should behave, what tone it should use, and what tasks it should perform. Tip: Whenever possible, keep knowledge directly in the Prompt to avoid unnecessary complexity.


Settings that Shape Behavior

Agents are not static — they have parameters that define how they work:

  • Temperature → controls creativity (0 = methodical, 100 = creative).

  • Effort → number of reasoning steps allowed (10 to 100).

  • Planning → Agent creates a structured plan before acting.

  • Supervision → Agent reviews and adjusts its own actions for better results.


Extending Capabilities

An Agent can be extended with resources available in Endless:

  • Memory → works like variables. You decide what to persist from the conversation (e.g., name, email, project type). The Agent can reuse this information later.

  • Knowledge Bases → structured information when text exceeds 5000 chars or requires frequent updates (FAQs, product manuals, policies).

  • Tables → native Endless databases for structured data like leads, customers, or transactions.

  • Workflows → orchestrated multi-step processes (e.g., “create invoice”, “trigger webhook”, “update CRM”).

  • MCPs → external connectors such as Google Calendar, Notion, Airtable, Supabase. They unlock extra Tools for the Agent.


Acting Through Tools

Agents are passive by design: they never act by themselves. They respond when triggered and can use Tools to execute actions:

  • Save or retrieve Memory

  • Search Knowledge Bases

  • Insert/Update/Search in Tables

  • Execute Workflows

  • Create tickets for human Teams (CRM)

  • Call APIs via HTTP

  • Use MCP-native Tools (e.g., schedule in Google Calendar)


Where Agents Operate

After testing internally, Agents can be published in Channels:

  • Website Widget

  • WhatsApp

  • Instagram

Each channel requires a Connection (e.g., linking your WhatsApp account).


Why Endless Agents Are Different

  1. Simplicity first → You can launch an Agent with just a Prompt.

  2. Native data handling → Knowledge Bases and Tables live inside Endless.

  3. Structured orchestration → Workflows and Tools allow multi-step automations.

  4. Seamless human handoff → Transfer conversations natively via CRM Teams.

  5. Multi-LLM flexibility → Switch models to optimize speed, cost, and accuracy.


👉 In Endless, an Agent is not just answering questions — it’s a scalable digital teammate that grows with your business.
