Hiring Agents

    Last updated: March 17, 2026

    1. Browsing the Marketplace

    Summary

    The Marketplace is your agent catalog - search, filter, and compare agents before hiring.

    The Marketplace displays all available agents as cards. Each card shows:

    • Agent name and tagline
    • Category badge (Marketing, Sales, etc.)
    • Complexity indicator - Simple, Moderate, or Advanced
    • Popularity score based on community usage

    Use the search bar and category filters at the top to narrow down your options. You can also sort by popularity or newest.

    2. Understanding Agent Detail Pages

    Summary

    Each agent has a detail page showing what it does, what it needs, and what it produces.

    Click on any agent card to open its detail page. Here you'll find:

    • Full description - What the agent does and when to use it
    • Example input - A sample of what you'd provide
    • Example output - A preview of what the agent produces
    • Required connections - Any apps or integrations needed (e.g., Google Sheets, Slack)
    • Tags - Related keywords for discoverability

    3. Running an Agent

    Summary

    Click 'Hire Agent', fill in the required fields, and hit Run.

    To run an agent:

    1. From the agent detail page, click "Hire Agent".
    2. Fill in the input fields. These vary by agent - it could be a URL, text prompt, uploaded file, or configuration options.
    3. Click "Run".
    4. Wait for the agent to complete - most finish in under a minute.

    You'll see a progress indicator while the agent works. Don't navigate away - your results will appear on the same page.

    4. Working with Agent Outputs

    Summary

    Copy, download, or act on agent outputs directly from the results view.

    After an agent completes its run, the output is displayed inline. Depending on the agent, you can:

    • Copy to clipboard - For text-based outputs
    • Download - For files, images, or documents
    • View in detail - Expand sections for longer outputs
    • Re-run - Adjust inputs and run again

    All past runs are saved in your Agent History, so you can always revisit earlier results.

    5. Re-Running & Iterating

    Summary

    Tweak your inputs and re-run agents to refine results.

    You can re-run any agent with modified inputs to get different or improved results. Each re-run is a separate execution. Your previous run results are preserved in your history, so you can compare outputs across iterations.
