The Agentic Studio toolkit

It's important to understand how the tools available in Agentic studio work in order to provide the context and information agents need to generate the expected results. Here is an overview of key tools.

Available tools

The following table lists the tools available in Agentic studio.

Tool	Description	Use
Chat interface	A conversational interface available on the Overview page, the Chat page, in spaces, and in Page builder. You can also access it from anywhere in SitecoreAI by clicking the AI chat icon in the upper-right corner of the page. In the chat interface, you can select an agent, specify the context, choose enabled tools and optional skills, and enter your instructions. AI then decides which tools to call, and in what order, to generate a text-based response.	For exploratory, conversational, or decide-as-you-go work.
Standard agent	A conversational type of custom agent that determines how to perform tasks based on instructions and selected tools, context, and skills. A standard agent is configured with predefined instructions, skills, and tools. It supports multiple output formats, such as text, structured text, widgets, images, and reports. This agent returns an artifact instead of text.	For repeatable, flexible work. This type of agent is best suited for dynamic or less structured scenarios where a fixed workflow is not required. See When to use a standard agent or a workflow agent for more information.
Workflow agent	A custom agent designed for structured, repeatable, multi-step work. It follows a predefined sequence with clear checkpoints and approvals, so outcomes are consistent. This agent returns artifacts at each step and also generates a final deliverable at the end.	For repeatable, auditable, multi-step processes. This type of agent is best suited for predefined workflows with consistent outcomes. See When to use a standard agent or a workflow agent for more information.
Skill	A skill capability package that contains instructions, reference files, schemas, and scripts. Skills are used by Chat and standard agents.	For when an agent needs to perform a task consistently.
Agent API	An API that gives an agent direct access to Sitecore features, such as sites, pages, content, components, assets, personalization, jobs, briefs, and brand kits.	For when agents need to connect to SitecoreAI features outside of Agentic studio.
Brand kit	A brand kit is a structured resource created from your uploaded brand documents and can be attached as a default context to any action or standard agent.	To give the agent knowledge of the brand context and identity.
Context	Context refers to the schemas, HTML templates, connections, and widgets defined in settings that are used by agents and flows when generating outputs. These are the building blocks used for structured output, presentations, downstream systems, and widget rendering.	To influence how agents behave and what they have access to.
Space	A workspace for collaboration through chats, items, context, agents, runs, and artifacts. When you create a space, you start by selecting a type of flow.	To elaborate or refine work performed by agents and flows and to collaborate with colleagues.
