Background agents

Background agents perform bounded jobs that Perpetual launches from product workflows.

Perpetual launches them automatically or in response to an action in the product. Each background agent runs in its own context and has tools for a specific job. A background agent can update a resource, propose further work, or stage content for you to review.

Background agent types​

  • Content work item, a request that the content engineering agent can implement.
  • Changeset, where the content engineering agent stages proposed content changes.
