The agent roster
| Agent | Role | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Alex | Cloud Engineer | Cost analysis, infrastructure optimization, multi-cloud architecture, reserved capacity |
| Oliver | Security Engineer | Compliance audits, vulnerability assessment, IAM reviews, threat detection |
| Tony | Database Engineer | Query optimization, performance tuning, index recommendations, capacity planning |
| Kai | Kubernetes Engineer | Cluster health, pod right-sizing, autoscaling, RBAC audits, troubleshooting |
| Anna | General Manager | Multi-agent coordination, cross-domain projects, executive reporting |
Choose the right agent
| You need | Mention |
|---|---|
| Cloud costs are too high | @alex |
| A security audit or compliance report | @oliver |
| A slow database diagnosed | @tony |
| Kubernetes cluster issues resolved | @kai |
| A problem that spans multiple domains | @anna |
| A starting point when you’re not sure | @anna |
Talk to agents
Talk to agents in plain language. The full pattern is:@agent— who does the work:@alex(cloud),@oliver(security),@tony(database),@kai(Kubernetes),@anna(coordination).#tool(optional) — the output you want:#dashboard,#report,#recommend,#alert,#chart,#kb.- Your request — what you need, in your own words. Add any context inline.
How agents work
- Read your prompt — the agent parses your mention, the optional tool tag, and your instruction.
- Query your connections — the agent reads the connections you’ve configured: AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes clusters, databases, and more.
- Correlate data across sources — Alex cross-references CloudWatch utilization with Cost Explorer data; Tony reads execution plans alongside query frequency.
- Deliver the output you asked for — a dashboard, report, prioritized recommendations, or an alert.
- Act within its autonomy mode — in Manual mode the agent waits for your approval before executing changes. Every action is logged with an audit trail.
Autonomy
Each agent runs in one of two modes, configurable per agent:| Mode | What happens |
|---|---|
| Manual | The agent proposes the action and waits for a person to approve it before running. |
| Auto | The agent runs the action on its own and reports the result. |
Memory and context
Agents get more accurate over time because they retain what they learn about your environment:| Memory type | What it retains |
|---|---|
| Episodic | Past analyses and decisions, such as resources you’ve exempted from recommendations |
| Working | Context within the current conversation thread |
| Semantic | Patterns learned about your infrastructure over time |
| File | Documents, runbooks, and knowledge base entries |
When agents activate
Agents become available as you add the relevant connections:| Agent | Available when |
|---|---|
| Anna | Always — no connections required |
| Alex | An AWS, Azure, or GCP connection is added |
| Oliver | An AWS, Azure, or GCP connection is added |
| Tony | A PostgreSQL, MySQL, or other database connection is added |
| Kai | A Kubernetes cluster connection is added |
