The 6 Things Your Agent Can Do

📅

1. Scheduled Tasks

Your agent runs tasks on a schedule you set — hourly, daily, weekly, or custom cron. It doesn't forget, it doesn't oversleep, and it runs whether you're at your desk or not.

Example "Every Monday at 8 AM, check my Google Calendar for the week, find any double-bookings, and send me a summary in Slack with suggested fixes."

🔗

2. Tool Connections (MCP)

Connect your agent to the tools you already use: Slack, Google Calendar, Gmail, CRM, and more. MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets your agent read and act inside those tools directly — no webhooks, no Zapier, no API keys to paste.

Example "When a new lead comes in from my website form, look up their company in my CRM, draft a personalized follow-up email, and schedule it to send tomorrow morning."

💬

3. Conversation

Talk to your agent like a colleague. Ask questions, give instructions, brainstorm ideas. It remembers context from previous conversations and gets better at understanding your preferences over time.

Example "What were my top 3 revenue sources last month? And which one grew the fastest?" — Your agent pulls data from your connected tools and gives you a clear answer.

🌐

4. Web Research

Your agent can search the web, read pages, and compile research for you. Competitor analysis, market trends, product comparisons, lead research — it finds what you need without you having to open a browser.

Example "Research the top 5 competitors in my space. For each one, find their pricing, main features, and any recent product launches. Put it in a comparison table."

📁

5. File Management

Your agent can create, read, and organize files. Reports, summaries, spreadsheets, scripts — it writes them and puts them where you need them. Connected to your workspace, it keeps everything organized.

Example "Take this month's sales data and create a summary report with totals by product line, month-over-month growth, and the top 10 customers by revenue."

📧

6. Email & Calendar

With Gmail and Google Calendar connected, your agent handles the communication overhead that eats your day. It reads emails, drafts replies, checks your availability, and manages your schedule.

Example "Go through my inbox from today. For anything from a client, draft a reply. For meeting requests, check my calendar and accept if I'm free, or suggest alternative times if I'm not."

What It Can't Do (Yet)

Your agent is powerful, but it's not magic. Here's what to keep in mind:

It can't make phone calls (yet — voice agent support is coming). It can't access apps that don't have MCP integrations. It won't take actions that could cost you money without your explicit approval. And it always tells you when it's unsure rather than guessing.

Getting Started

The best way to learn what your agent can do is to ask it something. Start simple:

Try these first "What's on my calendar this week?" → "Summarize my unread emails" → "Research [topic] and give me a summary" → "Set up a daily task to check [something]"
