Brain

The Brain controls how your Superagent thinks, remembers, and uses information. Here you configure how your Superagent connects to tools, understands context, and stores information.
  • Integrations control what services your Superagent can access.
  • Knowledge defines the Superagent’s identity, behavior, and reference material the Superagent can reason about.
  • Memory stores information the Superagent learns across conversations.
  • Payments allows the Superagent to connect to payment services.
Managing your Superagent's identity, behavior, and knowledge sources.
A Superagent maintains context using knowledge, memory, and working files.
Integrations Your Superagent connects to tools in two ways:
  • Built-in Services: Platform capabilities available to every Superagent by default, such as the Base44 Backend, which provides database access, functions, file storage, and automations.
  • Connectors: OAuth integrations that link your Superagent to external services like Slack, Gmail, Google Docs, or GitHub.
Superagent Connectors
Connectors allow your agent to:
  • Read and summarize messages from Slack.
  • Monitor Gmail for important updates.
  • Query APIs to retrieve external data.
  • Access documentation or knowledge sources.
  • Run backend workflows and automations.
Knowledge Your Superagent’s Knowledge provides the reference information it uses to understand requests and perform tasks. Knowledge includes identity configuration and reference material your Superagent can use when responding to requests.
Information learned through conversations is stored separately in the Memory tab.

FAQs

Most Superagents are built in four steps:
  1. Define the goal: Start by describing what you want the Superagent to help with. For example:
    • Monitor my Gmail inbox and summarize important emails.
    • Watch Slack messages in #alerts and notify me if something looks critical.
    • Generate a daily summary of GitHub activity.
  2. Connect your tools: Enable connectors so your Superagent can access the services it needs.
  3. Add knowledge and memory: Provide instructions, documents, and context so the Superagent understands how to behave and make decisions.
  4. Automate tasks: Create scheduled tasks so the Superagent can run workflows automatically, such as sending summaries or monitoring activity.
Both approaches work. How you structure your Superagents depends on how you want to organize your workflows. You can build several Superagents, each responsible for a specific task, or one Superagent that handles multiple tasks.Multiple specialized SuperagentsThis approach keeps responsibilities separated and can make complex workflows easier to manage.For example:
  • One Superagent monitors Gmail.
  • Another tracks Slack activity.
  • A third generates reports.
One central SuperagentIn this model, a single Superagent:
  • Connects to multiple tools.
  • Runs several workflows.
  • Acts as a central assistant across your workspace.
Many builders start with multiple specialized Superagents while experimenting. As their workflows evolve, they often consolidate those tasks into one central Superagent.
  • A Superagent works across your workspace and helps you manage tools, workflows, and information.
  • An app agent lives inside your app and interacts only within that app.
Use a Superagent when you want a persistent assistant that helps you manage systems, workflows, and information across your workspace.
Tasks run predefined workflows on schedules or triggers. Superagents operate dynamically. They analyze context, respond to messages, and decide which actions to take using the tools and knowledge you provide. Many workflows combine both. A Superagent can trigger tasks or monitor their results.
Yes. Superagents can connect to external tools using connectors and built-in services, allowing them to interact with tools like Slack, Gmail, Google Calendar, GitHub, and more.
Superagents use the same credits model as Base44 apps.
  • Message credits: Used when interacting with your Superagent through chat.
  • Integration credits: Used when your Superagent performs actions such as calling APIs, retrieving data, sending messages, or using connected services.
Both credit types reset monthly according to your billing cycle.
No. Superagents and apps are separate features in Base44. You can set up an AI agent for your app.
