Typical business agents

Examples of business agents — finance, execution, technical, market intelligence, assistant — and the platform building blocks used to assemble them.

These pages describe typical business agents and how to assemble them with betool's building blocks: an input channel, one or more agents, integrations and actions.

These are recipes, not shipped templates. None of these agents is published in the template catalog: you build them in the visual editor from the nodes, tools and integrations mentioned — all available on the platform.

The "Chief of Staff" principle

The recommended design stance for these agents: they own the information and follow-up layer; you decide. They read your data, summarize, alert, prepare the trade-offs and draft documents. It is up to you to wire human approval before any action that commits spend or sends something sensitive.

Read-only first, action under approval second: you keep control and gain altitude.

The recipes

  • CFO IA — financial cockpit: weekly briefing, alerts on follow-ups to make.
  • COO IA — head of execution: tracks an action register and follows up on whatever is stalling.
  • CTO IA — technical output review of the team.
  • Product Manager IA — automated competitive intelligence.
  • Personal assistant — voice assistant: calendar, mail, prepaid appointment booking.

How to assemble them

  1. Create a model in your organization (Models menu).
  2. Connect your integrations (Stripe, GitHub, Google… in BYO).
  3. Write the agent's role and mission for your context (thresholds, tone, priorities).
  4. Schedule the trigger (see Schedule).

The template catalog

The Templates menu lets you install an already-built model into your organization: a standalone copy, from which secrets are always excluded and for which connector accounts must be supplied at installation. The catalog only contains what organizations have contributed to it — yours, and those the platform operator has made visible to everyone. The feature is enabled organization by organization by the platform operator; otherwise, the screen says so.

An installed model is never frozen: anything it does, you can change in the visual editor.
