Tired of manually gathering data from websites and social media? Picture sending a single Slack message and watching as a coordinated team of AI agents springs into action - crawling websites, analyzing social media, and delivering polished reports straight to your inbox. No coding required, no technical headaches.
Introduction to AI Agent Teams
AI agents are software programs that automate processes, make decisions, and interact with their environment to achieve specific goals. Unlike traditional automations, which follow rigid, rule-based sequences, AI agents can adapt and make decisions based on the data and tools they're given.
AI Agents vs. AI Automations
AI Automations
Rule-based workflows (e.g., Zapier or Make.com)
AI Agents
Decision-making systems that can choose which tools to use and how to achieve a goal
Setting Up Your AI Agent Team
Step 1: Choose Your Platforms
Before diving into the setup, decide what you want your AI agents to scrape:
- Websites: Competitor websites, blogs, and review sites like Trustpilot
- Social Media: Platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook
- Visual Data: Branding and visual identity analysis using screenshots
Step 2: Integrate with Slack
Your AI agents will be controlled via Slack. Here's how to set up the integration:
- Create a Slack App: Go to api.slack.com and create a new app
- Set Up Event Subscriptions: Add a webhook URL from Make.com
- Install the App: Install the Slack app in your workspace
Step 3: Create Your AI Agents
You'll need to create a manager agent and several sub-agents. The manager agent will delegate tasks to the sub-agents, who will perform the actual scraping.
