1
Describe the work
The composer on Home says “Ask anything or describe an automation”. Take it literally, and brief your agent like a new hire:Plain English is the whole interface: say what should happen and when, and your agent works out the rest. If anything’s unclear, it asks.
2
Connect the app it needs
Your agent can only act in apps you’ve authorized, so when a job needs one it doesn’t have, it asks first. Approve the request, sign in to the app, and you’re back in the chat with the connection made.Connections belong to the agent, not to you personally: once Google Calendar is connected, every job this agent does can use it. Everything it can reach is listed under Connections.
3
Confirm the schedule
Your agent proposes the trigger it heard: every Monday at 8am, in your organization’s timezone. Adjust anything that isn’t right and confirm.This is where a chat becomes an Agent Automation. A chat happens once, but an Agent Automation has triggers, so from now on it starts itself.
4
Run it now
No need to wait for Monday. Open Agent Automations, find yours, and choose Run now.Every run produces a chat, so you can read exactly what your agent did, and reply there if you want something done differently next time.
5
Check Agent history
Agent Automations → Agent history lists every run: when it fired, whether it succeeded, and what it cost in credits. Whenever you’re wondering what your agent has been up to, the answer is here.
You now have a working agent
The same pattern covers most of what people build with Cando. A few more worth trying:Where next
