Big changes are here and more is coming...

January has been one of our biggest months of improvements yet.

We shipped three features that fundamentally change how you build and run agents: a marketplace of self-installing templates, native agent scheduling, and the ability for agents to read and write files to Drive. All have been a long time coming, and we're excited to finally get them in your hands.

But that's not all. We're also working on something entirely new for sales teams. More on that at the end.

Let's get into it.

Agent marketplace

We've replaced the old default agents with something much more useful: a marketplace of self-installing agent templates.

Instead of starting from scratch or figuring out how to configure an agent yourself, you can now browse our marketplace, pick a template that fits your use case, and let it walk you through the setup. Each template guides you through customizing the agent, connecting your integrations, and setting up schedules so you have something working in minutes.

Available now:

• Meeting Prep - Researches attendees across your calendar, CRM, and the web, then generates briefing reports with talking points and relationship context
• Competitor Intel - Researches your competitors, tracks market positioning, and generates battle cards and SWOT analyses to keep your team armed with current intel
• Deal Monitor - Monitors your pipeline for stalled deals, approaching deadlines, and at-risk opportunities so you get alerts before deals slip away
• Seller Guidance - Delivers daily guidance to your sales team by analyzing CRM data, identifying opportunities, and surfacing actionable recommendations
• CRM Hygiene - Maintains CRM data quality by identifying duplicates, standardizing records, and ensuring data integrity

More templates are on the way. If there's a use case you'd like to see, let us know.

Agent schedules

You can now schedule agents to run automatically without building a separate workflow.

Head to the triggers menu in your agent settings, set a schedule, and you're done. This is perfect for tasks like checking your CRM for upcoming meetings each morning and preparing briefing docs, or running a daily competitive intelligence scan.

No more complicated workarounds just to get an agent running on a timer.

Drive now supports folders and files

We've added folders and file management to Drive, giving agents a better way to create, organize, and save the assets they generate.

Agents can now:

• Read files from Drive
• Write new files to Drive
• Organize content into folders

This makes it easier to build agents that produce reports, documents, or other outputs you want to keep and reference later.

Even cooler? It enables the ability to create long-term memory and skills for agents, like you would with coding agents like Claude code. Skills are one of the next big leaps in agentic development. With skills you can now build single agents that can handle a much larger variety of tasks reliably.

Agents can delegate tasks to agents

Another incredibly cool feature that got shipped this month is a new tool that allows agents to delegate tasks to other agents. This opens up the ability to create agents that orchestrate tasks between a team of specialists, or a panel of judges that review an agent's work. Lots of potential here.

Under the hood

We've also made significant improvements to the platform's foundation:

• Upgraded our authentication system for better security and performance
• Improved reliability for our embedding and search infrastructure
• Polished UI components across the platform
• Various bug fixes and stability improvements

Coming soon: a new way to work

We're building something new for sales teams who want AI that just works out of the box.

Instead of picking from multiple agents and configuring each one, imagine a single AI teammate with the skills already built in: managing your CRM, monitoring pipeline health, prepping you for calls. One agent, one interface designed specifically for sales, native Salesforce integration from day one.

Scout Studio will remain the home for teams who want to build custom agents and dig into the details. But for sales teams who want to skip the setup and get straight to results, something new is coming.
