In this tutorial we’ll get started with our first Hypermode Agent named Sidekick. Sidekick is a personal assistant that can help you with your daily tasks, such as scheduling meetings, reviewing our calendar, and preparing for meetings by conducting research.

Along the way we’ll introduce the basic concepts of working with agents in Hypermode, including the concepts of connections, threads, and tasks.

​
Sign in to Hypermode

First, we’ll sign in to Hypermode and create our first workspace if we haven’t done that yet.

​
Meet our Sidekick agent

Once we’ve signed in and created a workspace, we’ll meet our Sidekick agent. Sidekick is included with the Hypermode free tier and is a great way to get started with Hypermode Agents by learning how to interact with agents and add connections.

Connections give our agents access to external tools and services, such as Google Calendar, email, GitHub, our CRM, and more.

​
Sidekick connections

Let’s configure the Google Calendar connection so Sidekick can access our calendar and help us prepare for meetings.

Sidekick is configured to connect to Google Calendar. Over 2000 other connections are available by upgrading to the Hypermode Pro tier.

​
Suggestion task

Sidekick is configured with tasks to help us interact with our agent. Tasks are a repeatable set of instructions that you can save and use later with your agent. Think of a task as a learned skill for your agent.

​
Chat and tools

In addition to selecting tasks, we can also interact with our agent through natural language chat. The agent uses tools to complete our requests. By asking the agent “who are we meeting with?” it uses the Google Calendar connection to access our calendar and find the meeting we’re preparing for.

​
Prepare for meetings

Tools can be combined by the agent to complete our requests. Here we ask Sidekick to prepare for our meetings by researching who we’re scheduled to meet with. Sidekick uses the Google Calendar connection to access our calendar and find the meeting we’re preparing for, extracts the meeting details including other participants, then uses a built-in research tool to research the participants.

​
Generate talking points

We can ask Sidekick to generate talking points for our meeting. Sidekick uses the results of the research tool and our specific guidance to generate talking points.

​
Update calendar invite

We can ask Sidekick to update our calendar invite with the talking points we just generated. Sidekick uses the Google Calendar connection to update our invite.

​
Writing to other services

Sidekick is configured to connect to Google Calendar. To enable other connections you’ll need to upgrade to the Hypermode Pro tier.

Explore other ways that Sidekick can help you in your daily tasks. When you’re ready to explore creating new agents with new capabilities and adding other connections, upgrade to the Hypermode Pro tier by scheduling your onboarding call.

Creating more custom agents from natural language, choosing over 2000 additional connections to add to our agent, and more are features available in the Hypermode Pro tier. Once you’ve completed the Pro-tier onboarding you’ll be able to create agents with custom instructions. In the mean time check out the Agent Gallery to see what kinds of agents you’ll be able to create with Hypermode Agents Pro tier.
