Digital Agent Overview

What is a Digital Agent?

A Digital Agent is a role-based AI teammate configured to support daily operations.

Unlike a basic Q&A chatbot, each agent has:

  • Responsibility scope
  • Authorized knowledge sources
  • Task skills and tools

How it works

Digital Agents use your knowledge data to:

  • Answer with domain context
  • Handle repetitive support tasks
  • Speed up lookup and summary workflows

Organization patterns

You can create agents by:

  • Department: Support, Sales, HR, Operations
  • Process: Intake, internal support, customer care
  • Specialized role: Materials assistant, legal assistant, recruiting assistant

Key benefits

  • Standardized responses by role
  • Controlled data access by permission
  • Easier scaling to a multi-agent digital workforce model
