Meet Jarvis, Your AI Workforce

Agently gives you Jarvis, a single AI agent that runs your workspace. You don't pick a bot from a menu. You tell Jarvis what you need, by typing, by voice or in Slack, and it works the problem: it pulls context from your Brain, acts step by step through your connected apps, and hands big chunks to focused sub-agents, including specialist agents you build, when a job is large enough to split.

Unlike a general-purpose chatbot, Jarvis doesn't just describe what to do, it does it: drafts and sends the email you approve, creates the calendar event, updates the card, writes the page, and shows you where its facts came from.

What makes this different from a chatbot:

  • One brain that compounds. Everything your workspace saves (uploads, synced apps, your company profile, notes from past work) becomes the Brain Jarvis reasons over.
  • One agent that orchestrates many. A single orchestrator plans the work and spins up focused sub-agents for the heavy parts.
  • Skills that teach it your playbooks. Package a repeatable workflow once, and Jarvis runs it your way every time.

Where you reach Jarvis

  • The app. Chats, Work cards and the Jarvis widget on the Canvas. See Chatting with Jarvis.
  • Your voice. Press ⌘⇧Space from any app, or turn on "Hey, Jarvis". Real work runs in the background and Jarvis reads you the result.
  • Slack. Message Jarvis directly, or mention @Jarvis in a channel thread.

Voice, your Jarvis chat in the app and Slack direct messages share one conversation. See Use Jarvis and Jarvis in Slack.

Which model runs it

Jarvis runs on Anthropic's Claude. Smart, the default, picks Opus, Sonnet or Haiku for each request. You can pick a model per chat, and on Agently Pro you can run chats in the Mac app on your own Claude or ChatGPT plan. Background work, routines and Slack always run on Agently, on credits or on your workspace's own API key.

How Jarvis works: the agentic loop

Jarvis doesn't answer in a single shot. It runs a plan, act, observe loop until the job is done:

  1. Understand. Jarvis reads your message and searches your Brain for relevant context.
  2. Act. It picks a tool (search the web, read your calendar, create a card), calls it, and waits for the result.
  3. Observe and decide. It reads what came back and decides the next step: another tool, a sub-agent, or the final answer.
  4. Repeat until the work is complete.

So "research this prospect, draft the intro email, and schedule a follow-up" can complete in one turn. You see each step as it happens. Every run is bounded by limits on steps, time and cost, so it can't loop forever.

Grounded in your company knowledge

When Jarvis searches the Brain, it gets back the most relevant passages from your documents, pages, synced apps and shared notes, each with its source and date. Answers show From your brain with those sources, so you can check what Jarvis used. Jarvis also keeps notes across conversations in Brain → Memory.

Sub-agents: how Jarvis delegates

When a request has a substantial, self-contained chunk of work ("research these ten competitors," "write the full launch announcement") Jarvis can hand it to a sub-agent.

A sub-agent is a fresh worker with:

  • Its own clean context, focused only on the delegated task, so the main conversation stays fast.
  • Its own small budget of steps, time and cost.
  • A focus: a general-purpose copy of Jarvis for the task, or one of the specialist agents your workspace built.

Sub-agents go one level deep (a sub-agent can't start its own), return a summary, and hand the result back. Jarvis decides when to split work off.

Your own specialist agents

For work your team repeats, such as reviewing code, preparing for sales meetings or researching strategy, build a specialist in Agents: its own instructions, skills, tools and reference pages. Work with it directly, ask Jarvis to use it by name, let Jarvis bring it in whenever the work fits, or run it inside a routine. See Build your own agents.

What Jarvis can do

Know your business

  • Brain, search your company knowledge, and save new notes and items to it.
  • Company profile and people, look up what your company does and who someone is before acting on a name.
  • Needs you, see what needs you right now: approvals, your cards, failed routines, and new mail, mentions and issues. See Work.

Create

  • Pages, write documents, presentations, spreadsheets, live HTML and React pages, and code. See Pages.
  • Writing, polished social posts, emails, articles and ad copy, in your voice from your recent posts on a connected account.
  • Images, generate images from a prompt. (Image generation spends extra credits.)

Organize work

  • Cards, create and update cards in Work, in bulk when needed.
  • Routines, set up one-time or recurring runs, including scheduled posts to X and LinkedIn. See Routines.
  • Support tickets, file a ticket about a problem with Agently, with the details attached for you.

Act in your apps

Through your integrations, Jarvis reads from and acts in about a hundred tools, such as Outlook, Google Calendar, Slack, HubSpot, Notion, Linear, Jira and Stripe. Gmail is send-only. Every action is written to an audit log.

Your Mac

In the Mac app, if you turn on Jarvis can use this Mac in Agently's settings, Jarvis can work in your apps, read the screen and move files in your home folder when you ask in your own private chat. See Grant permissions.

The open web

  • Web search and web fetch, for current information and specific URLs.
  • Code execution, to calculate and analyze data precisely.

Staying in control

Before Jarvis sends anything to other people, deletes or archives anything, merges code, or uses a custom connector tool that isn't marked read-only, it asks you with an approval card. Approve and it runs once, exactly as shown; dismiss and it never runs. Routines follow their own Asks before sending setting. See Approvals.

The support assistant

Separate from Jarvis, Contact us in the sidebar opens Agently's support assistant. It answers questions about the product and can file a support ticket for you. It is not your workspace's agent.

Example things to ask Jarvis

  • "Research the top 10 SaaS companies in HR tech and put a prospect brief for each into a new page."
  • "Draft a 3-email cold outreach sequence for CTOs at mid-market fintechs, using our positioning from the Brain."
  • "Check my calendar this week, find a 30-minute slot for a team sync, and send the invite."
  • "Plan our Q2 launch: break it into cards with owners and deadlines."
  • "Write a LinkedIn post announcing our new feature in my voice, and schedule it for Tuesday at 9am."
  • "What needs me today?"
