What Are Custom Agents?

Taskade AI Agents are designed to automate routine activities like research, task management, and content creation. You can create a team of custom AI agents, each with a unique personality, skills, and knowledge, and access them on all your devices, including iOS and Android.

💡 Note: Visit the desktop version of this article to discover additional agent settings you can access in Taskade for MacOS, Windows, Linux, and the web.
