# Your personal agent

> A private Hop that knows your individual context, not shared with the team.

Your personal agent is a Hop that belongs to you. It has access to your private context (your notes, your tasks, your history) and is never shared with other members of your workspace.

## What your personal agent knows

Your personal agent builds context from:

* Your private notes and documents
* Your connected personal tools (calendar, email, personal drive)
* Your previous conversations with it
* Your preferences and instructions

It does not read from your Spaces unless you explicitly share something with it.

## How to access your personal agent

Click **Personal Assistant** in the left sidebar (or the top-right corner of any page) to start a conversation with your personal agent. It's separate from your Spaces, a private workspace just for you.

## What it's good for

* Drafting something before it's ready to share with the team
* Organizing your own notes and tasks
* Asking questions about your private tools
* Thinking through a problem before bringing it into a Space

## Personal agent vs. Space agents

|                | Personal agent                       | Agents in a Space     |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------ | --------------------- |
| **Context**    | Your private context                 | Shared Space context  |
| **Visibility** | Only you                             | Everyone in the Space |
| **Best for**   | Private work, drafts, personal tasks | Team collaboration    |

## Connections

Your personal agent uses two types of connections:

**Workspace (default) connections** are the tools connected at the workspace level. Your personal agent can read from all of them, just like the default Hops agent.

**Personal connections** are tools you connect just for yourself: your calendar, personal email, private drive. Go to **Settings**, then **Connections** to set these up. Your teammates don't see your personal connections, and other agents in the workspace can't access them.
