Skill Sets

Skill Sets are collections of custom skills that extend your AI agent's capabilities beyond basic conversation. They enable your AI to perform specific actions, integrate with external services, and execute custom workflows.

What are Skill Sets?

Skill Sets are:

• Collections of Skills: Groups of related actions your AI can perform
• Custom Functionality: Extend your AI with specific capabilities
• Reusable Components: Can be shared and installed across workspaces
• Version Controlled: Track changes and updates
• Configurable: Require setup and configuration before use

Why Use Skill Sets?

Skill Sets enable your AI to:

• ✅ Perform Actions: Execute specific tasks (check orders, book appointments, etc.)
• ✅ Integrate Services: Connect with external APIs and services
• ✅ Custom Workflows: Create specialized conversation flows
• ✅ Extend Capabilities: Add functionality beyond basic Q&A
• ✅ Automate Tasks: Handle complex operations automatically
