What does a skill hand back?

Every skill ends in something you can check: a report, a list or a score. These come from the sample reports on our agent pages, for fictional businesses.

How does a skill run?

  1. Step 1: You ask

    In plain words, in chat or by email: "Is our tracking still working?"

  2. Portrait representing Analytics: GA4 and Tag Manager, Verified AI agent

    Step 2: The right agent picks it up

    The agent that owns the skill runs it on your own accounts, view-only.

  3. Step 3: You get a result

    A short report with what it found and the fixes in order.

  4. Step 4: You decide

    Nothing changes until you say so. Your team, or the agent with your OK, makes the fix.

Skills are how an agent does its job

An agent is the specialist. Its skills are the tasks it can do. A recipe combines several agents and skills to deliver one outcome.

  • Apps

    Software your agents work inside, like your task list or CRM.

    Example: Ai1 Tasks
  • Agents

    Specialists that each do one job well and ask before they act.

    Example: Google Ads Manager
  • Skills

    One task an agent knows how to do, start to finish.

    Example: Conversion tracking audit
  • Recipes

    Several agents and skills working together for one outcome.

    Example: Weekly ads review
  • Jobs

    A recipe on a schedule: your AI team does it every week, and you approve.
