Agents & Workflow Builder
Generate Enterprise lets teams go beyond chat by building custom AI agents, automating multi-step processes with a visual Workflow Builder, running agents on a schedule, and extending them with reusable Skills. Agents and workflows share one canvas and data model.
How do you create an AI agent?
Section titled “How do you create an AI agent?”The Create Your Agent dialog offers three options: Quick Start (“Basic”, a chat agent — describe the agent in plain English and let AI build it), Workflow Builder (“Advanced”, a workflow agent — design it visually with drag-and-drop), and Import from JSON. In Quick Start you set a Name, Description, and Instructions, add Knowledge (files and databases), pick Connectors and Skills, and toggle Web Search, Live Browser, and API Access. Agents can be favorited, saved as templates, shared, added to projects, duplicated, and exported to JSON; the agents list has Your agents, Templates, and Shared with you tabs.
What can the Workflow Builder do?
Section titled “What can the Workflow Builder do?”The Workflow Builder is a visual drag-and-drop canvas. Its node types are: Start, HTTP Trigger (triggers); Agent, End, Note (core); HTTP Response; Action, File Search, Database Search, Web Search (tools); Condition, Switch, While, User approval (logic); and Transform, Filter, Sort, HTTP (data). Workflows can be saved as, and created from, templates.
Can agents run on a schedule?
Section titled “Can agents run on a schedule?”Yes. Scheduled jobs run an agent automatically — either one-time (at a specific date/time) or recurring (a cron schedule with a timezone, minimum 5-minute interval, optional end date and max-runs, and configurable retries). Each run sends the agent a query; jobs can be paused, resumed, triggered on demand, and reviewed in a run history.
What are Skills?
Section titled “What are Skills?”Skills are reusable, packaged capabilities. Users browse a Skills library, create a skill (name, description, instructions, optional credentials), or upload a skill as a .md, .zip, or .skill file (a zip/skill must contain a SKILL.md). Skills can be attached to an agent or to a New Chat, and used within projects.
