Custom agents
Custom agents let you create named AI workers inside AIDEN.
This is one of the best ways to make the product feel like your own system instead of a generic assistant.
What custom agents are good for
Use a custom agent when you want a repeatable role such as:
- planner
- frontend specialist
- reviewer
- research agent
- product writer
The goal is not novelty. The goal is consistency.
Why they matter
Custom agents reduce repetition. Instead of rebuilding the same behavior with prompts every time, you create a role with a clearer identity and use it when needed.
Best practice
A good agent has:
- a clear job
- a clear scope
- a clear point of view
The more generic the agent, the less useful it usually becomes.
When not to use them
Do not create lots of agents before your workflow is stable. Start with one or two roles that solve a real repeated need.
