Browse agents

Opal groups agents into tabs by the kind of work they help you do.

  • New – Agents that Optimizely has recently released.
  • Brainstorm & Plan – Agents that research markets and plan campaigns, such as campaign briefs and competitive insights.
  • Create – Agents that generate content, such as blogs, emails, and social posts.
  • Experiment & Analyze – Agents that plan experiments and interpret results.
  • Optimize – Agents that audit and improve page performance, search engine optimization (SEO), conversion, and accessibility.
  • Productivity – Agents that handle everyday tasks, such as summaries, translation, and meeting follow-ups.

Within each tab, agents display as cards. When a tab holds more agents than fit on one page, the library splits them across pages. Use the page controls to move between them.
