## Agents (51+ across 10 groups)

- [Agents](https://askfinz.com/agents): Full catalogue of specialist AI agents.

### Foundational agents — Shared across apps
A small set of always-on pieces that route a prompt to the right specialist, plan multi-step work, and check the result before it reaches you.
- Thinker [shipping]: Reads the prompt and classifies intent, complexity and entities.
- Planner [shipping]: Breaks a task into ordered steps, each tagged with the kind of specialist it needs.
- Router [shipping]: Matches every step to the best-fit agent and the right depth of reasoning.
- Executor [shipping]: Runs the plan step by step, streaming each event so you can watch the work happen.
- Reflector [shipping]: Reviews the finished result against the brief and asks for a retry when quality is short.
- Ingestor [shipping]: Pulls relevant memory, prior work and uploaded files into context before the model sees them.
- A2A Bridge [beta]: Speaks the open agent-to-agent protocol so external agents can ask askFinz to do real work.

### Research agents — research.askfinz.ai
A reading room that browses for you, argues with itself, and writes only what it can cite.
- Deep Researcher [shipping]: Plans, browses and synthesises a long-form study, streaming every step.
- Council [shipping]: Runs the same prompt across several minds in parallel, then a judge merges the strongest drafts.
- Critic [shipping]: Generator + reviewer pair — scores a draft against a rubric and sends it back for one revision.
- Source Matrix [shipping]: Reads N sources across M questions and fills a comparison grid with a confidence score per cell.
- Citation Lens [shipping]: Pulls inbound citations for any source and labels each one as supporting, contradicting or neutral.
- Reviewer [shipping]: Lint, gap analysis and rubric scoring on a draft — surfaces uncited claims and missing sections.
- Library Trainer [beta]: Licences public-library documents for training, settles royalties and tracks owner credits.
- Template Extractor [shipping]: Reads any document and proposes a reusable structure you can apply to the next study.
- Suggestion Reviewer [shipping]: Turns tracked-change proposals into accept/reject decisions with an audit trail.

### Code agents — code.askfinz.ai
A pair-programmer that lives in the editor and a small army of specialists you can call when the work needs more than one head.
- Code Agent [shipping]: Pairs in the editor — reads the repo, edits files, runs commands, answers in your terminal.
- Inline Agent [shipping]: Highlight a span of code and ask for the rewrite right there; preview the diff before accepting.
- Swarm [shipping]: Run several code agents at once on the same prompt or on independent slices of a task.
- Coordinator [shipping]: Lets the main agent spawn sub-agents on its own and weave their answers into one reply.
- Sub-agent Spawner [shipping]: Drops a focused agent onto a sub-task with its own scratchpad, then hands the result back.
- Ultraplan [beta]: Multi-agent planning — parallel planners propose approaches, the best parts get merged.
- Batch Worker [shipping]: Runs thousands of prompts through a model in one cheap overnight job and streams results as ready.
- Skills [shipping]: Reusable role packs (refactor, test, review, debug, security, optimise) the agent loads on demand.
- Hooks Runner [shipping]: Fires shell commands before, during or after a tool call so your project rules stay enforced.
- Tool Server [shipping]: Exposes the workspace as a tool registry so other agents — even ones outside askFinz — can call it.
- Live Collaborator [beta]: Cursor presence, real-time cursors and shared selections when more than one person is in the file.
- Bug Hunter [shipping]: A specialised mode that hardens its prompt for reproducing, isolating and fixing nasty bugs.

### Chat agents — chat.askfinz.ai
Specialists you can summon by role inside any conversation — and one general-purpose mind that knows when to hand off.
- Researcher [shipping]: Reads broadly, cross-references claims, cites sources and structures the answer.
- Coder [shipping]: Generates, reviews, debugs and refactors code in any major language.
- Writer [shipping]: Drafts, edits and rewrites to a target tone — clean structure, plain language.
- Analyst [shipping]: Works with numbers — tables, comparisons, charts and quantitative reasoning.
- Summariser [shipping]: Distils long content into the essentials with a structured outline and TL;DR.
- Advisor [beta]: Secondary mind running alongside the primary, surfacing alternative suggestions as you go.

### News agents — news.askfinz.ai
Crawls, deduplicates, listens — turns the firehose into a single briefing and a daily audio version you can play.
- Crawler [shipping]: Reaches into hundreds of publishers, extracts full articles and keeps the index fresh.
- Analyst [shipping]: Sentiment, bias and category — every story scored so the briefing reads honestly.
- Briefing Host [shipping]: Builds the hourly transcript across today's top stories and renders it as audio.
- Risk Watcher [beta]: Scans the headline window for sector and ticker risk signals over a rolling fourteen-day view.

### Browser agents — Cross-app capability
A real browser an agent can drive — for the times the web won't give you an API.
- Navigator [shipping]: Drives a real, headed browser to read pages, follow flows and fill forms — with a screencast.
- Proxy Manager [shipping]: Rotates clean exit-IPs and degrades gracefully so a brittle site doesn't end the session.

### Search agents — search.askfinz.ai
askFinz's own search index — keeps every workspace findable for humans, agents and other models.
- Indexer [shipping]: Reads every workspace and keeps the askFinz vector index in sync as you work.
- Index Reviewer [shipping]: Sweeps the index for stale, broken or low-quality entries and quietly heals them.

### Workflow agents — workflow.askfinz.ai
Drag-and-drop flows that the platform can execute on a schedule or on demand.
- Workflow Runner [shipping]: Executes a custom flow you've designed — connects steps, ships the output, logs the run.

### Memory agents — Cross-app capability
What every other agent leans on so it doesn't forget you between sessions.
- Memory Keeper [shipping]: Saves the facts you ask it to remember and pulls them back into future conversations.
- Team Memory [shipping]: Shares a project-scoped memory across collaborators with last-write-wins reconciliation.
- Dreamer [beta]: Once a week, distils recent session logs into durable project memory you can review.
- Memory Searcher [shipping]: Semantic recall across everything memory has ever held — surfaces the right fact, fast.

### Safety agents — Cross-app capability
The pieces that say no on your behalf — so a fast agent never becomes a destructive one.
- Permissions [shipping]: Per-tool approval rules with wildcard allow/deny so risky actions always pause for you.
- Diff Reviewer [shipping]: Queues every file write for inspection before it lands — accept, reject or rewrite the patch.
- Sandbox [shipping]: Restricts which files and domains an agent may touch, even when it is told to do more.
- Verifier [beta]: Cross-checks an action against your stated intent before money is spent or content is sent.

## Protocols

## Research notes

- [A workshop, not a chatbot](https://askfinz.com/research/a-workshop-not-a-chatbot): Why purpose-built spaces for real work beat a single do-everything assistant — and what gets lost when we flatten everything into one box.
- [Owning your tools again](https://askfinz.com/research/owning-your-tools-again): Something important shifted when professional tools became subscriptions. Here is what it means to reclaim control, portability, and your own workflow.
- [Software should earn its keep](https://askfinz.com/research/software-should-earn-its-keep): On the difference between tools that finish work and tools that demo well — and why "impressive" is not the same as "useful."
- [Speed is a feature, trust is the product](https://askfinz.com/research/speed-is-a-feature-trust-is-the-product): Raw speed captures attention. Reliability and provenance are what make an AI tool worth depending on — and they are harder to build than fast.
- [We tell you which model wrote your answer](https://askfinz.com/research/tell-you-who-wrote-the-answer): On visibility, citations, and why knowing which model answered you is not a technical detail — it is a question of trust.
- [The case against one big model](https://askfinz.com/research/the-case-against-one-big-model): Monoculture is fragile in agriculture, in finance, and in AI. Here is why relying on a single model is a structural risk disguised as simplicity.
- [The hidden cost of switching tabs](https://askfinz.com/research/the-cost-of-switching-tabs): Tool-sprawl isn't just an organisational inconvenience. Every tab switch carries a cognitive tax that quietly drains the best hours of your day.
- [The web became the operating system](https://askfinz.com/research/the-web-became-the-operating-system): A POV on where serious work now happens — and what it means to build tools for a world where the browser is the desktop.
- [Your work is not our training data](https://askfinz.com/research/your-work-is-not-our-training-data): A plain statement of where we stand on using customer work to improve our systems — and why we think the line matters for the whole industry.
