AI agent use cases and examples for sales, customer service, marketing, operations and project management: 13 NocoDB templates to start from.

  <Prompt>
    Create an agent from the [Ticket triage] template for the [Requests] table
  </Prompt>

  <Prompt>
    Create an agent that posts a [weekly digest] of [Deals] to [#sales] every [Monday]
  </Prompt>

  <Prompt>

  </Prompt>
</AskNocoAI>

These AI agent use cases come from the 13 NocoDB templates. A template is a ready-made job that you start from. Each one opens a setup chat with a draft of the job, and you change anything before you turn the agent on.

## Start from a template

1. Open the project.
2. In the mini sidebar, click **Agents**.
3. Click **General agent**.
4. Under **Pick a template**, select a template. A setup chat opens with a draft of the template job.
5. Answer the questions of the setup chat, for example which table the agent reads.
6. Click **Finish setting up**. The agent settings open.
7. Review the settings, and turn on the agent. See [Review and turn on the agent](/docs/agents/create-agent#review-and-turn-on-the-agent).

Each template creates the agent as a **Draft**. A draft does not run until you turn it on.

## AI agent examples by team

The 13 NocoDB AI agent templates are grouped here by the team that uses them. Each one is a working example that you can change.

| **Morning brief** | Turns what changed in your tables and docs into a short plan, every weekday morning. |

## Build your own agent

When no template fits, describe the job in your own words. Click **Set up by describing** on the **General agent** step, or ask [NocoAI](/docs/product/noco-ai) in the chat. See [Create an agent](/docs/agents/create-agent).

To get good results from any agent, write clear instructions. See [Write good instructions](/docs/agents/instructions#write-good-instructions).
