Here’s a sneak peek into the Agents page in Opal

Agent Directory and Default Agents

In Opal, the Agent Directory serves as a library of ready to use and customizable agents that you can easily integrate into your workflows. The out-of-the-box agents you see in the directory are default agents, designed to help you get started quickly without having to build from scratch.

The following article provides an overview of the default agents in Opal.

If you want to learn more about each default agent, you’ll find a list of articles at the following link that goes in-depth on their configuration, use and details.

Specialized Agents

Framework

Specialized agents in Opal are domain-specific experts designed to perform complex tasks with precision. They use structured parameters to ensure each action aligns with predefined objectives. These agents are particularly effective for managing intricate processes.

This video demonstrates a specialized agent’s framework, detailing how it is configured and how it functions.
