Before we dive in details about different AI concepts and tools: here’s an introduction to the main concepts at Spell!
Tasks and Agents
Your work on Spell can be done using two different tools. Learn how they compare!
⚡️ Tasks
Great for repetitive tasks with your predefined prompts and with the context provided upfront. Examples:
- Write a blog post on a given topic
- Extract data from CSV and summarize
- Brainstorm SEO keywords with provided information
💼 Agents
Best for tasks that involve multiple steps which depend on each other. Examples:
- Find content on multiple websites and write an article
- Take a list of contacts and write a personalized email for each
- Get information from one plugin and use in another
3 takeaways
What are the three best tips to make the most of Spell?
- For simpler generative work you may find Tasks to be a better choice! Deploying and Agent is not always necessary and can result in higher credit usage and lower quality results.
- Two common reasons for an agent failing are: too many enabled plugins or a plugin mentioned in the prompt but not enabled in agent configuration. If you see your agent using tools incorrectly, have another look at the setup!
- Think of your agent as an intern. It may not get it right the first time and will definitely need some guidance! If you see your agent failing a task, try again with a different prompt or configuration.
