Every Hops workspace comes with a default agent called Hops. It’s a general-purpose AI agent that’s available in all your Spaces right away. No configuration needed to get started.

​
What the default agent does

The default agent can handle a wide range of tasks:
  • Summarize threads, docs, and decisions
  • Draft and revise content
  • Answer questions from your connected tools
  • Hand off context to custom agents or teammates
  • Perform research and surface relevant information
The default agent uses your workspace connections (the tools connected at the workspace level in Settings). It has access to all default connections, so it can read from any tool your workspace has connected. No extra setup needed. It’s not specialized for a particular team or workflow. That’s what custom agents are for. The default agent is the useful generalist your team reaches for when no specialist is needed.

​
How to use it

Click Hops in the Agents section of the left sidebar to open a conversation. You can also tag @Hops in any thread to bring it in. It responds from the context in the current Space. If your Space has multiple agents, you can tag @Hops alongside any custom agents in the same conversation.

​
Default agent vs. custom agents

Use the default agent when you need something done quickly or don’t need a specialist. Create a custom agent when the task is squarely in a specific domain.

​
Customizing the default agent

You can give the default agent Space-specific instructions to shape how it behaves in a particular Space: tone, format preferences, recurring context. See Agent Instructions.
