What is an Assistant?

An Assistant or agent is a collection of nodes (and even other assistants) working together. Think of it as your personal coral cluster — an intelligent companion that can chat, automate, and evolve based on your needs.

Understanding AI Assistants

Intelligent Composition

Assistants combine multiple nodes to create sophisticated behaviors, just like how coral polyps work together to build complex reef structures.

Learning & Evolution

Each interaction makes your assistant smarter, allowing it to adapt to your needs and improve over time.

How Assistants Work

Intelligent Processing

Assistants receive input, process it through their connected nodes, and generate intelligent responses based on their configuration and learning.

  • • Natural language understanding
  • • Context-aware responses
  • • Multi-step reasoning
  • • Adaptive behavior

Collaborative Intelligence

Assistants can work together, sharing knowledge and capabilities to solve complex problems that require multiple perspectives.

  • • Multi-assistant coordination
  • • Knowledge sharing
  • • Specialized expertise
  • • Collective problem-solving

Types of Assistants

Chat Assistants

Conversational AI that can engage in natural dialogue, answer questions, and provide helpful information.

Use cases: Customer support, personal assistants, knowledge bases

Task Assistants

Specialized AI that focuses on specific tasks like data analysis, content creation, or automation.

Use cases: Data processing, content generation, workflow automation

Integration Assistants

AI that connects with external tools and services to extend capabilities and automate complex workflows.

Use cases: API management, tool integration, cross-platform automation
