# Agents

An agent is your personal AI assistant that's always available. It has its own machine to create files, run programs, and get things done — even when you're away.

## Creating an Agent

1. Click **New Agent** in the sidebar
2. Give it a name and pick a model
3. Start chatting — it's ready to work

## Choosing a Model

| Model           | What It's Like                                                     |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| vecbase-1.0     | Quick and efficient — great for everyday tasks                     |
| vecbase-1.0-pro | Thoughtful and thorough — ideal for complex work                   |
| vecbase-1.0-max | Our most capable — best for deep research and challenging projects |

You can change the model at any time in agent settings.

## Always Available

Your agent keeps everything between conversations. Files it creates, projects it works on, tools it installs — all saved and ready next time you come back. It's like having a dedicated team member with their own desk that never gets cleaned up.

## Scheduling

Your agent can run tasks on a schedule — no need for you to be online:

* **Cron**: Recurring schedules like "every Monday at 9am"
* **One-time**: Run once at a specific time
* **Interval**: Repeat every N minutes/hours

Set these up by telling your agent: *"Send me a daily summary every morning at 9am"*.

## Sub-Agents

For complex tasks, your agent can launch sub-agents that work in the background. This lets it handle multiple things in parallel — like researching several topics at once.

## Customization

You can give your agent specific instructions to shape how it works:

* *"Always respond in Chinese"*
* *"You are a data analyst specializing in financial reports"*
* *"When I share a PDF, summarize the key points first"*

Set these in your agent's settings under **System Prompt**.
