# Overview

Agents are AI assistants you shape for a job: a research analyst, an inbox triager, a deal sourcer, a support responder. Each agent has its own identity, model, instructions, capabilities, connected apps, and knowledge.

## Agents

You get **QX** by default, the built-in agent connected to all available tools and knowledge, so you can get useful work done before creating anything custom. Every agent you build afterwards sits alongside it.

Each card shows the agent's avatar, its model, and icons for any apps it is connected to. A badge tells you where the agent came from: **Built-in** for the ones QX ships, **Mine** for agents you created, and **Shared** for agents someone on your team shared with you.

From this page you can:

* **New Agent** opens the [agent editor](/agents/create-an-agent)
* **Chat with agent** appears when you hover a card, and starts a conversation
* **Schedules** manages [scheduled tasks](/agents/scheduled-tasks)
* The search box filters agents by name
