Browse the catalog
Open Agents & Resources and switch to the Catalog tab. Agents come from two sources, DeepEllum's Agent and Third Party Agents, and every card lists the number of skills and an approximate cost per run. Open a card to read the full skill list before installing.
Catalog agents differ from AI staff: staff are roles you describe; catalog agents are pre-built specialists with a fixed capability list. Many teams run both.
Install and assign work
- 01Choose Install on the card.
- 02If the agent asks for an MCP API key, paste it. This is optional and only third-party agents that talk to an outside service need it.
- 03Switch to the My Agents tab to confirm it is listed.
- 04Open the Agent Inbox, choose Direct, and message the agent to assign a task. Its output comes back to the same thread for review.
Uninstall
Choose Uninstall from the My Agents tab. In-flight tasks are stopped and their partial output kept as drafts. Run history stays in Agent Logs.
