FAQs

What are AI agent recipes?

AI agent recipes are proven, step-by-step workflows that show revenue teams how to use AI agents to automate specific revenue motions. Each recipe walks through a high-impact use case—like converting inbound leads or preventing customer churn—with guidance on which agents to use and how to configure them.

‍

How do I choose the right recipe for my team?

Start by identifying your biggest revenue challenge: are you trying to convert more leads, close deals faster, or retain customers? Find the recipe that matches that goal, then review the step-by-step workflow to see if it fits your process. Most teams implement 2-3 recipes to start, then expand from there.

Do I need all the agents mentioned in a recipe?

Most recipes use 2-3 agents working together. You can start with one agent if you prefer, but the full recipe delivers better results. We recommend reviewing the recipe description to understand which agents matter most for your workflow.

How long does it take to set up a recipe?

Most recipes take 30-60 minutes to configure, depending on your existing workflows and integrations. The agent setup is usually the fastest part; the rest involves mapping your current process and testing with a small group before rolling out.

Can I customize a recipe for my specific workflow?

Yes. Each recipe shows the standard configuration, but you can customize agent instructions, triggers, and messaging to match your brand voice and business process. Our best customers modify recipes to fit their unique selling motions while keeping the core workflow intact.

What results should I expect from a recipe?

Results vary by recipe and team, but common outcomes include: faster response times (2-4x improvement), higher conversion rates (15-30% lift), and significant time savings (2-5 hours per rep per week). See our customer stories for specific examples.

How do recipes compare to building custom AI workflows?

Recipes are pre-built, tested, and ready to deploy—they get you results in weeks, not months. Custom workflows offer more flexibility but require more engineering. Most teams start with recipes to prove value, then build custom workflows for edge cases.

Can I use a recipe across multiple departments?

Absolutely. Many recipes (like "Prevent Customer Churn" or "Capture Customer Wins") work across sales and customer success. We recommend adapting the messaging and triggers for each team while keeping the core agent logic the same.
