Skills
Your agent is more than a chatbot — it runs on a dedicated machine with a full suite of tools and skills. Here’s everything it can do.
These tools are always available and run directly on your agent’s machine:
| Tool | What It Does |
|---|
| Code Execution | Run Python, Node.js, and shell scripts. Install packages, build projects, automate anything |
| File Management | Read, write, edit, and organize files. Your agent has persistent storage that keeps everything between sessions |
| Web Search | Search the web for real-time information on any topic |
| Web Fetch | Visit any web page and extract the information you need |
| Deep Research | AI-powered deep research that reads multiple sources and produces reports with citations |
| Web Crawling | Crawl entire websites and extract structured data |
| Scheduling | Set up recurring tasks — daily reports, weekly check-ins, regular updates |
| Sub-Agents | Launch background agents to handle complex, multi-step tasks in parallel |
Skills
Skills are specialized abilities that extend what your agent can do:
| Skill | What It Does |
|---|
| PDF | Read, create, merge, split, and fill PDF files |
| Spreadsheets | Create and edit Excel (.xlsx) files, analyze data |
| Word Documents | Create and edit Word (.docx) files |
| Presentations | Create and edit PowerPoint (.pptx) files |
| Document Parsing | Extract text from PDFs, images, scanned documents, and more |
| Image Generation | Create and edit images from text descriptions |
| Speech Recognition | Transcribe audio in 50+ languages, output text or SRT subtitles |
| Text-to-Speech | Generate natural-sounding speech, with voice cloning support |
| Web Browser | Browse websites, fill forms, take screenshots using a real browser |
| Connectors | Interact with Gmail, GitHub, Slack, and other connected services |
How to Use
Just ask your agent in natural language:
- “Create a PDF report from this data”
- “Merge these three PDFs into one”
- “Analyze this spreadsheet and create a chart”
- “Research the latest trends in AI and write a summary”
- “Transcribe this meeting recording”
- “Read me this article aloud”
- “Generate an image of a mountain landscape”
- “Send an email to the team about tomorrow’s meeting”
Your agent automatically picks the right tool based on your request.
Adding Custom Skills
Your team can teach the agent company-specific workflows, templates, or processes by adding custom skills.
Skills are what make Vecbase agents different from simple chatbots. A chatbot can only chat — your agent can actually do things: create files, process data, interact with services, browse the web, and complete real tasks.
