AI Agents
Turn a Bot into one controlled Agent
Use one AI Bot as the model and Knowledge identity for an Agent that owns multiple controlled Automations.
Where to open it
Path
Open Network > Bot Settings > Agent, or open Settings > AI & Automation > My Agents.
What it can do
- Trigger from Textxt messages, connected Gmail, supported business channels, schedules, or authenticated webhooks.
- Apply deterministic filters before an optional AI decision.
- Send a Textxt message, create a task, or prepare supported external replies under the configured approval policy.
- Reuse one Agent purpose, model, Knowledge, effective Tools, access scope, and Connection Grants across multiple Automations.
Step by step
- Choose the AI Bot that supplies the Agent identity, provider, model, instructions, and Knowledge.
- Define one durable Agent purpose, then add an Automation with one measurable outcome.
- Keep approval enabled for sensitive or external actions and verify the destination scope.
- Run matched and stopped-path tests, review the saved regression evidence, publish the version, then inspect Runs before expanding the workflow.
Ask an external AI
Paste this prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, or another assistant that can open public web pages:
Read https://textxt.com/help/ai-agents and guide me step by step. Use only capabilities documented on that page, ask for missing context, and do not invent buttons or settings.Example questions
- Create a Textxt Agent design that watches customer email and posts only messages that need a reply.
- Explain how approval, Runs, and Bot Knowledge work together in a Textxt Agent.
Good to know
- An AI Bot supplies the intelligence and identity; an Agent adds triggers, tools, boundaries, approvals, and execution history.
- Publishing creates a versioned workflow. Test a new draft before replacing a working production version.
- Regression evidence stores only the expected result and configuration hash; the sample message is not copied into the global index.
- Recent-topic Context is off by default. Enable it only when an AI decision genuinely needs earlier permitted messages.
- Textxt intentionally excludes arbitrary code and unbounded autonomous Agent graphs from the production safety boundary.
Keep private data private.
Never paste Textxt passwords, OAuth tokens, API keys, private chat exports, or confidential attachments into an external AI just to ask how the product works.
