Native AI Agents
Native AI Agents take over manual work in your tables and app pages: replying on WhatsApp and email, reading documents and answering questions.
In short
- What it is: ready-made AI agents that work directly inside your tables and app pages.
- What you can do: reply on WhatsApp and email, read documents and fill in fields, and answer questions about your data.
- How it works: each agent is built for a specific purpose. You configure it once and it keeps working.
- Keep in mind: agents don't build apps. To create an app from a description, use the AI App Builder.
What is it
Native AI Agents take over the manual work your team does every day. Each agent is built for a specific purpose: you configure it once and it works directly inside your tables and app pages.
Capabilities
| Agent | What it does | Where it works |
|---|---|---|
| WhatsApp Agent | Reads the conversation, sends an automatic reply based on your instructions, and can reference or update records in a linked table | A connected WhatsApp number |
| Email Agent | Reads the message, sends an automatic reply based on your instructions, and can create or update records in the table | A table's email inbox |
| Attachment Vision (OCR) | Uses OCR and AI vision to read uploaded images and PDFs and populate fields with the extracted data | A table field |
| Ask Agent (formerly Chatbot Agent) | Lets users ask questions in natural language and get answers based on the records in a connected table | An app page |
When to use
- WhatsApp Agent: your team answers the same WhatsApp questions every day and needs records kept up to date from the conversation.
- Email Agent: requests arrive by email and someone copies them into a table by hand.
- Attachment Vision (OCR): your team fills in invoices, receipts, contracts or other structured documents by hand.
- Ask Agent: users need answers from a table without building filters or running manual searches.
How to set it up
Each agent has its own setup guide:
Keep in mind
Want AI to build an app for you?Building apps is not an agent's job. Use the AI App Builder to create a complete app from a description. That page also compares it with the Block Composer and the AI Block Builder.
