Egnyte Agents - Overview

Agents are AI tools that handle time-consuming, repetitive tasks, making life easier for users. These Agents take care of routine work like editing, writing, translating, or searching for information, so users do not have to do it manually every time.

Agents can handle specific jobs like fixing grammar or creating content. The agents are conversational, where a user can talk to the agent in natural language based on the associated file(s) input.

For example, an Agent can review a document for language errors, generate content, translate a file, get requested details from the web, or read through a set of documents to answer a list of questions.

 

Benefits of Egnyte Agents 

There are numerous benefits to Egnyte Agents for the end-users. 

• Reduce the time users spend on manual tasks

• Improve consistency and accuracy in everyday work
  Whether it’s editing text, gathering information, or responding to queries, Agents follow the defined logic every time. This leads to more consistent results and fewer mistakes compared to manual efforts that can vary from person to person or day to day.

  By handling time-consuming tasks automatically, Agents help users accomplish more in less time. This boost in day-to-day efficiency, translates into quicker project turnarounds, and better use of working hours.
• Help teams make faster decisions with easy access to relevant information
