Getting Started

A quick overview of Sontairo's core concepts and how to set up your workspace.

Core Concepts

🤖 Agents

AI agents are specialized personas with custom instructions. Each agent has a name, description, system prompt, and can be assigned to a provider. Agents can be connected to each other in a network.

🔑 Providers

Provider keys connect to AI services like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc. Agents use providers to generate responses. You can switch providers without losing agent memory or configuration.

🔌 Connectors

Connectors integrate external services (Google, Slack, Notion, HubSpot, etc.) into your workspace. Agents can use connectors to read emails, manage calendars, update CRM records, and more.

🧠 Memory

Workspace-level memories are shared across all agents and providers. Store facts, preferences, contact information, and ongoing tasks that persist across conversations.

⏰ Cron Jobs

Schedule recurring tasks that run automatically. Assign cron jobs to agents for periodic actions like daily reports, email monitoring, or data syncing. You can also ask the AI to create cron jobs via chat.

Quick Setup

  1. Add a Provider — Go to Providers and add an AI provider key (e.g., OpenAI API key). This powers all AI functionality.
  2. Create an Agent — Go to Agent Network → Create Agent. Give it a name, and use the ✨ button to auto-generate a description and system prompt.
  3. Chat with Your Agent — Click Chat on the agent card or go to the Chat page and select your agent from the dropdown.
  4. Connect Services — Go to Connectors to integrate Gmail, Slack, Notion, etc. See the individual connector guides for setup instructions.
  5. Schedule Tasks — Use the Cron Jobs tab on the Agent Network page, or ask the AI: "Schedule a daily summary report at 9am".

AI-Powered Automation

You can ask the AI to build workflows for you through chat:

  • "Create an agent that monitors my inbox" → Creates a new agent with appropriate instructions
  • "Schedule a daily email summary at 9am" → Creates a cron job with the right schedule
  • "Connect the email agent to the CRM agent" → Creates an agent connection
  • "Pause the daily report" → Updates the cron job to inactive
