Key Concepts
Agents
AI assistants that can query data, analyze patterns, and generate insights. Each agent has a
specific purpose and is equipped with relevant skills.
Skills
Reusable packages of domain knowledge and tools. Skills give agents the context and capabilities
they need to perform specific tasks.
How Agents Work
Agents combine three key components:- AI Model — The underlying language model (Claude, GPT, etc.) that powers reasoning and conversation
- Skills — Domain knowledge and tool access packaged for specific use cases
- Tools — Capabilities like SQL querying, table discovery, and data visualization
