An AI teammate on the AI Suite platform that can do things — chat to assign work, use tools, take steps, and create files. See Meet the Agent.
Your own custom AI helper with saved instructions, so it behaves the same way every time. Optional; see Build an app.
A finished thing the Agent produces — often a document, spreadsheet, or PDF. See Create docs, sheets & PDFs.
An optional custom agent with your own instructions, model, and tools. Most people can stay with the Core Agent. See Build an Assistant.
The ‘fuel’ each AI action uses, a bit like data on a phone plan. See Team & billing.
A safe link between AI Suite and another tool you use, so the AI can work with it. See Connect your tools.
Documents you upload so the AI can read them and answer questions about them. See Ask your own documents.
An advanced, more autonomous custom agent. Most non-technical users should skip this and use the Core Agent. See Managed agents (advanced).
The technology behind connectors — a standard, safe way to link AI to other tools. You don’t need to know the details; just think ‘integration.’
The ‘brain’ the AI uses to answer — some are faster, some are smarter. See Choosing a model.
Just your message to the AI. Writing a ‘good prompt’ means asking clearly. See Writing good prompts.
The technical name for ‘read my documents, then answer from them.’ See Ask your own documents.
A tidy, written document the AI creates from your information. See Create a report.
One time an agent does a task — you can look back at past runs to see what it did. See Run & share an agent.
A tiny piece of text the AI counts to measure usage; more text means more tokens. Closely related to credits.
An ability you give an agent so it can take an action, like searching or checking a calendar. See Configure the Core Agent.
Your private area on the AI Suite platform that holds your Agent sessions, files, apps, and settings. See Create your account.
The built-in agent in the Agents tab — the primary way to work on AI Suite. Chat with it to create docs, sheets, PDFs, and run multi-step tasks. See Meet the Agent.
AI Suite as a whole — Agents, tools, files, and APIs — not just a single webpage. You work in your workspace on the platform.
