Agents are customizable AI assistants that you can configure for specific tasks. Each agent can have its own tools, knowledge base, and behavioral settings, allowing you to create specialized assistants for different workflows.

​
When to use agents

Create custom agents when you frequently repeat specific tasks, handle work that follows consistent patterns, or want to optimize processes so you can focus on strategic work. Agents are particularly valuable for tasks you perform several times a week that can be automated or standardized.

Key Features

Athena Agents are equipped with an Effort Dial, which requires them to spend a minimum amount of time thinking before responding, addressing the problem of rushed, low-quality answers that fail to adequately solve your problems.By implementing minimum processing time requirements, forced step-by-step reasoning, and quality checkpoints, the Effort Dial creates higher quality responses, better learning outcomes and increased reliability.
