Templates for creating agents

Article sections
How to use agent templates
- Choose a suitable template, consider your own needs:
- course or teaching → course agent
- thesis → research agent
- writing → text enhancer
- translations → translation agent
- learning support → learning coach
- Copy the template to the agent
- Create a new agent
- Attach a template’s prompt to the agent definition
- Give the agent a clear name (e.g. “Marketing Course Agent”)
- Edit for your own use
- Add your own context (course, topic, assignment)
- Specify the target group (student, teacher, project)
- Keep the focus narrow (one clear purpose)
- Use in everyday life
- Utilize the agent for repetitive tasks
- E.g. task guidance, text improvement, idea generation
- iterating
- If the answer is not good → clarify the instructions
- Make a new version (v2, v3…)
- Small changes = big impact
Remember: 👉 The best agents are narrow, concrete and connected to everyday life
👉 Make the agent for your own needs – not for “universal use”
Example: “Thesis Agent” → helps with structure, text, and research questions
“Course Agent” → explains concepts and helps with assignments
Start with one – use it daily – build on it.
