Questions
What is a skill?
A skill is a short set of written instructions your agent reads when a job calls for it, such as how to lay out an invoice or what a good job ad covers. With a skill added, your agent does that job the same careful way every time, without you explaining it again.
Do skills cost extra?
No. Adding and removing skills is included in every plan, including the free trial. Using a skill is an ordinary request to your agent, so it counts toward your AI allowance like any other message.
Can my agent make its own skills too?
Yes. Your agent can save how it did a job as a new skill when you ask, for example "save how you did that as a skill", and on a paid plan it can also save and improve skills on its own as it works. Those skills belong to your agent only.
Are the legal and tax skills legal or tax advice?
No. They help you prepare drafts, checklists and questions, such as a first draft of an NDA or a list of expenses to discuss. Have a qualified adviser check anything you sign or file.
