Agents
What Are Agents?
237+ built-in AI agents across 8 categories — specialized personas for better results.
Agents are specialized AI personas with expertise in specific domains. Vocoding includes 237+ built-in agents across 8 categories, each designed to produce better results for its area of expertise.
Think of agents as expert consultants:
- React Expert -- Knows React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind
- API Designer -- Specializes in REST/GraphQL architecture
- Blog Writer -- Crafts long-form content
- Strategy Planner -- Business strategy expertise
- Your Custom Agent -- Your own specialized persona
When an agent is active, it shapes how Vocoding interprets and optimizes your voice input.
