Creating Agents

Agents are created through a simple form where you define their identity, role, and behavior. Once launched — with task lists and skills properly configured — you can interact with them to perform tasks based on your defined task list using assigned skills.

How to Create an Agent​

To create an AI agent, log into your organization and locate the AI Coworker section in the sidebar. Click the Add New button and fill out the form:

Steps:​

1. Define the Agent’s Identity​

  • Colleague Name: A friendly name users will recognize
  • Colleague Title: A short label describing its role (e.g. “Sales Monitor”)

2. Write the Job Description​

This is the system prompt — the agent’s core instruction set.

Example:

“You are a resourceful and attentive assistant who helps me stay informed and organized. You proactively surface relevant updates, summarize key information, and communicate clearly and concisely. Always prioritize clarity, usefulness, and speed. If you're unsure about something, ask rather than assume.”

Telex will automatically parse this into a structured system prompt that guides your agent’s behavior.

3. Choose a Tone​

Select how the agent communicates:

  • Friendly
  • Formal
  • Casual

4. Customize the Face (Optional)​

Choose a visual avatar that matches your agent’s personality.

5. Set Visibility​

Control who can use or view the agent:

  • Public: Available to everyone in the workspace
  • Private: Restricted to specific users or Admins

6. Click “Create Colleague”​

Once submitted, Telex AI activates the agent and begins operating based on the job description.

Next Steps​

  • Configure the Task List: Define what the agent should do
  • Assign Skills: Choose capabilities the agent will use to complete tasks
