To run the AI agents autonomously, you must first duplicate the use case, and then do the following steps:
- Activate the use case.
- Activate all agents within the use case.
- Activate the trigger to invoke the use case automatically. If you prefer to invoke it manually, activating the trigger isn't necessary.
There might be AI agents installed with the Now Assist application that are not used in agentic workflows. To learn how to see all agents that are available to you, see Find AI agents.
