Dashboard: Agents

Agents in the sidebar is your team's roster of working agents. Each row shows an agent's name, what it is doing — a status like ● Running v12 — and the channels it answers on. Healthy agents sort first, so anything that needs attention is easy to spot.

An artifact publishes work you already did. An agent does the work again, on its own, for everyone. If you find yourself re-running the same prompt every week, that is the thing to turn into an agent.

What your agents can do

  • Answer where your team already is. Give an agent a Slack bot, an email address, or an MCP endpoint and people reach it without learning a new tool. The dashboard is always available as a chat surface, with no setup at all.
  • Run without being asked. Schedules and triggers wake an agent on a clock, on a webhook, or on an event from an app you connected — a pull request opened, a message received.
  • Use your real tools. Integrations give an agent GitHub, Slack, Google Drive, Linear, Stripe, or any MCP server, with credentials held by Valet rather than by the agent.
  • Publish what it produces. An agent can build and refresh an artifact, so a dashboard or a weekly brief keeps itself current at a URL your team already has open.
  • Remember. Agents keep durable memories between runs, so context you gave them last week still applies.

Good first agents

  • Summarize yesterday's meetings and post the summary to a Slack channel each morning.
  • Review every new pull request for security problems and comment on it.
  • Triage the shared inbox, and flag only what needs a human.
  • Rebuild the metrics dashboard every hour from the source of truth.
  • Answer questions about your internal documents over MCP, for other tools to call.

How an agent is put together

Every agent has the same six parts — objectives, skills, integrations, channels, schedules, and configuration — described in Agents. The dashboard shows them on a page called the Blueprint, which is where you fill them in.
