What Are Agents?

Agents in RelayHub are custom AI assistants configured with specific instructions, knowledge, and tools for a particular job. Instead of starting every conversation with the same generic model, you create agents that already understand your domain, have access to your documents, and know exactly how to help. An agent for contract review might have legal guidelines baked into its system prompt, your company’s contract templates attached as knowledge, and the document analysis tool enabled. When someone on your team starts a chat with that agent, it immediately knows what to do — no preamble required.

The Agent Hub Interface

Agent Hub is your central directory for browsing and managing all agents you have access to. Open it from the sidebar navigation.

Personal Agents

Agents you created for your own use. Only visible to you.

Company Agents

Shared agents available to everyone in your organization.

Workspace Agents

Agents scoped to a specific workspace, using that workspace’s files and context.

Browsing and Filtering

The Agent Hub displays agents as cards showing the agent name, description, model, and tags. You can filter agents by:
  • Scope — toggle between personal, company, and workspace agents
  • Tags — filter by category tags like “Sales”, “Engineering”, or “HR”
  • Search — find agents by name or description keyword
Each agent card shows which model it uses, how many files are attached, and which tools are enabled, so you can quickly assess what an agent is capable of before starting a chat.

Agent Scopes

Scope determines who can see and use an agent.
Personal agents are private to the user who created them. Use these for individual productivity — your own writing assistant, code reviewer, or research helper. No one else in the organization can see or interact with a personal agent.

Starting a Chat with an Agent

To use an agent, click its card in the Agent Hub or select it from the agent dropdown when starting a new chat. The agent’s system prompt, attached files, and enabled tools are automatically loaded into the conversation. You chat with agents the same way you chat with any model — the agent simply brings its specialized configuration along.
You can switch agents mid-conversation. The new agent’s instructions and tools take effect immediately, while the conversation history is preserved.

Managing Your Agents

From the Agent Hub, you can edit, duplicate, or delete agents you own. Company agents can be managed by admins. Click the menu icon on any agent card to see available actions. To create a new agent, click New Agent in the top right corner. See Building Custom Agents for a full walkthrough.
