Built-in agents

Built-in agents are ONE doing one defined job under rules you write. Use them when you want a recurring IT job handled in the background, within your policies, and with your approval for anything outside that mandate.


 

Feature/Functionality

Overview

Each built-in agent works in the background and stays inside your policies. When something goes beyond what you have allowed, it asks for your approval first. Built-in agents come with your plan at no extra cost.

If none of them fits the job, build your own. See Custom agents.

 

Available agents

  • MDM Remediation Agent. ONE works your compliance tickets under a written policy. You switch it on, learn its default behaviour, restrict it and steer it from inside the ticket.
  • Helpdesk Agent. ONE answers and works your IT tickets, either one at a time or every ticket employees open. It asks for approval before changing anything beyond the ticket.
  • Onboarding Agent. ONE runs each new onboarding from instructions you write: the ticket and its tasks, emails to the new hire, and hand-offs to your team.
  • Equipment Agent. ONE chooses, agrees and orders a new hire's device based on your policies. You approve it on the onboarding ticket.

 

How to use

Each agent is switched on in a different place:

Tips and Best Practices

  • Write the policy before switching an agent on. The agent acts only within the rules you give it.
  • Try the Helpdesk Agent on single tickets first. Use AI agent on one ticket before turning it on for every ticket.
  • Use the approval step. Anything beyond the agent's mandate waits for you, so review those requests promptly.
  • Check whether a built-in agent fits before building one. Custom agents are for jobs the built-in ones do not cover.
 

 

Troubleshooting and FAQ

Troubleshooting

  • The MDM Remediation Agent does nothing. Check that the AI Remediation policy is published under Compliance issue settings.
  • The Helpdesk Agent only works on some tickets. It is switched on per ticket. To cover every ticket, enable IT support agent under Helpdesk > Settings > Ticket defaults.
  • An agent is waiting and nothing moves. It may need your approval for an action outside its mandate. Check the related ticket.

FAQ
 

  1. Can an agent act outside my policies?
    No. It asks for your approval before doing anything beyond its mandate.
     
  2. What if no built-in agent covers my job?
    Build a custom agent, or start from an agent template.
