Agents
Design an assistant for one job in a short chat with June, activate it, and hand it tasks by name.
An agent is an assistant you design for one job, with its own persona, instructions and know-how. You design it in a short chat with June, activate it on the Agents page, and then hand it tasks by name in your chats.
Design an agent
I want an agent that turns my weekly sales call notes into a short summary for the team
Design an agent that drafts polite payment reminders in our house style
The designer is this chat: there is no form to fill in. June derives the name, tone and schedule from what you describe and tells you what it assumed, so correct it in the chat.
Review and activate
A new agent does nothing until you activate it. Its page shows what June drafted:
- Its soul: the persona and voice it answers in, and its instructions.
- Its skills: know-how bundled with it.
- Scheduled work it runs on its own, if you described any.
- Its version history: draft, active and archived versions.
Choose Activate on the draft version and confirm. That version becomes the one in use right away, and the version that was active before is archived for good: an archived version cannot be activated again. Only you can activate your agents.
The scheduled work the version lists is added to Schedules, usually paused. Open Schedules to choose where its results go, then turn it on.
Hand an agent a task
Name the agent in a chat in June, on the web or in the mobile app, in plain words. There is no special syntax: June knows your active agents by name, recognizes which one you mean, passes it the task and shows you its answer. Until you have an active agent of your own or subscribe to one, there is none to hand a task to, so June answers itself and can help you design one.
Ask my sales notes agent to summarize the call notes I pasted above
You can also ask June to start a separate thread that runs as the agent. A thread June just started can ask your agents from its first reply, but cannot start another thread then.
The agent does not see your conversation, so June passes it everything it needs. Its soul, instructions and skills take the place of June's own, and it gets no tools and no memory: not your memories, not your Soul. Each task stands alone: the agent keeps no memory from one task to the next.
Archive an agent
On the agent's page, choose Archive agent and confirm. It stops answering anywhere, its scheduled work pauses, and its active version is archived. You cannot unarchive it from its page, and agents cannot be deleted.
What an agent does not do
- It does not use tools or your integrations when you hand it a task: it answers from its persona, instructions and skills.
- It does not take tasks in Slack: naming it there does not reach it.
- It does not belong to an organization: your agents are yours.
