Personal AI Agents — Frequently Asked Questions

Personal Agents are personal AI agents that live in the sidebar of your Abacus.AI workspace. You message them like contacts - each agent has its own name, persona, and long-term memory, so it remembers everything you tell it and keeps working for you in the background, even when you are not in the app.

Anything you would ask a capable assistant, on repeat. Abacus.AI ships ready-made agents you can start from in one click: Chief of Staff (daily briefings, decisions, and follow-ups), Email Triage (sort your inbox and draft replies in your voice), Morning Brief (weather, headlines, and markets every day), Research Monitor (track topics, papers, and competitors), Personal CRM (remember people, birthdays, and follow-ups), Expense Tracker (log spending and flag subscriptions), and Task Keeper (capture to-dos and chase deadlines).

You can also create your own from scratch: give it a name, a persona, and instructions, and it is ready in seconds.

Yes. Each agent has its own persistent conversation and memory. It picks up context from everything you have discussed, refines its understanding of your preferences over time, and uses that memory when handling new requests.

Yes. You can set scheduled check-ins - hourly, daily, or weekly at a time you choose - and the agent wakes up on that schedule, does its work, and messages you proactively. You can also give it scheduled tasks to run in the background.

Yes. Every Personal Agent can be connected to Telegram, Discord, or WhatsApp from its settings, so you can chat with it like any other contact on your phone. Telegram takes about a minute to set up.

Sign in to Abacus.AI and open Personal Agents in the left sidebar. Pick one of the ready-made agents to prefill its persona and instructions, or fill in the blank card to create your own. No technical knowledge or setup is required - everything runs on Abacus.AI's managed infrastructure.

Personal Agents are included with an Abacus.AI Pro subscription, alongside ChatLLM Teams and the Abacus.AI Agent. Agent usage is billed through your plan's credits, so you only pay for what your agents actually do.

Yes. All conversations, agent settings, and memory are encrypted and stored on secure, managed infrastructure. Abacus.AI does not sell or share your data. Each agent's memory is tied to your account, and deleting an agent removes its conversation and its memory.

You can create as many agents as you need. Each one keeps its own persona, conversation, memory, schedule, and messaging channels, so a Chief of Staff and a Personal CRM never get in each other's way.
