# Setting up your AI agent

{% hint style="info" %}
This feature is currently in Beta. Please reach out to Support to find out more.

AI Agents consist of triggers, instructions, skills, tools, and connections. Give your AI Agent instructions in plain text, making it easy to tell your agent what to do. Break the instructions into Skills to help streamline the creation of your agents and allows you to reuse information for other agents.
