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.
