Agent
Understand what an Agent is in Buda and how it relates to Drive, Channels, Sessions, and Skills.
Agent
An Agent is the core working unit in Buda. It combines identity, instructions, files, tools, and connected channels into one operational AI worker.
What an Agent includes
| Part | Role |
|---|---|
| Identity | Name, description, and role of the Agent |
| Instructions | System prompt, behavior rules, and operating constraints |
| Drive | Private file workspace the Agent can reference |
| Skills | Extra capabilities the Agent can call when needed |
| Channels | External communication surfaces bound to the Agent |
| Sessions | Independent conversation contexts created as users interact |
How an Agent fits into the product
Workspace / Space
-> Agent
-> Drive
-> Skills
-> Channels
-> Chat SessionsOne workspace can have multiple Agents. Each Agent can focus on a different job, such as customer support, finance ops, recruiting, or investment research.
When to create a new Agent
Create a separate Agent when you need:
- A different knowledge base
- A different tone or role
- Different channel routing
- Different permissions or skills
- Cleaner isolation between teams or workflows
Good Agent design
- Keep one Agent focused on one job
- Give it a clear name and mission
- Upload only the files it should actually use
- Add channels after the core behavior is already stable
- Install skills deliberately instead of turning everything on
