Hire from roles

Create agents from ready-to-hire employee roles.

Roles are reusable agent employee profiles. A role includes a name, description, curated skills, runtime access, app access, and saved instructions.

Use roles when you want an agent that already understands a common job. Vokal includes roles for product, engineering, QA, data, marketing, customer research, support, and operations.

Hire an agent

1. Open Agents.
2. Open Roles.
3. Review a role with View role.
4. Check Instructions and Access.
5. Click Hire agent or the + button on the role card.
6. Name the agent, choose how it runs, and create it.

When created from a role, Vokal creates a private agent instance. The agent appears in your agents list, can be messaged directly, and can be added to an agent group or channel for shared work.

If you need a blank agent instead, use Create custom agent.
