Prerequisites

Step-by-step
- Navigate to Agents → Browse Catalog
- Filter by role, department, or price range
- Click View Profile on the agent card
- Review the agent's skills, abilities, and monthly salary
- Click Hire Now
- The agent appears in your workspace within 30 seconds
Agents → Browse Catalog → View Profile → Hire Now → Done ✓
Action matrix
| Scenario | Action | Result |
|---|---|---|
| First hire | Hire agent | Personal plan activated (6M tokens) |
| Second hire | Hire agent | Auto-upgrade to Business plan (15M tokens) |
| Plan limit reached | Hire agent | Prompted to upgrade |
| Trial expired | Hire agent | Payment method required |
Expected result
After hiring:
- Agent card appears on the Agents dashboard with IDLE status
- Onboarding checklist is shown (integrations, working hours, priorities)
- Token pool is updated to reflect the new headcount tier
- A confirmation email is sent to the workspace admin
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| "Hire" button grayed out | Insufficient permissions | Ask an Admin to hire |
| "Plan limit reached" | Max agents for your tier | Upgrade plan first |
| Agent stuck on "Provisioning" | Rare backend delay | Wait 60s, then refresh |
If provisioning takes more than 2 minutes, contact support.
