Botpress Agents are specialized components that extend a bot’s capabilities beyond basic functions. Each Agent is designed for a specific task, improving interaction quality, information retrieval, or conversation management.

They operate behind the scenes, so you can think of them like a global setting or configuration.

Botpress includes five key Agents:

• Summary Agent: Generates concise summaries of conversations or content.
• Personality Agent: Modifies the bot’s tone and responses based on a defined persona.
• Knowledge Agent: Retrieves and provides relevant information from a structured knowledge base.
• Translator Agent: Enables real-time translation for multilingual conversations.
• Policy Agent: Ensures that all generated outputs align with a global policy.

Some of these agents, like summary or knowledge, save information to variables that you can access throughout the course of a conversation. Others, like personality or policy, need to be set from the Studio before they take effect.
