# AI Agents in Azotha: Your Software-Building Colleagues

> Azotha agents are AI-powered software builders that live in your managed workspace, execute your instructions, and keep project context between sessions.

Your Azotha agent is not a chatbot — it is a fully operational software builder that lives inside your managed workspace. When you describe what you need, the agent writes real code, runs it in a real environment, and produces working software you can preview and use. Think of it as a technically skilled colleague who is always available, never forgets your project, and executes every task directly rather than just giving you advice.

## What an Agent Does

Azotha agents take on the full range of tasks that a software developer would handle, from writing the first line of code to keeping your application up to date.

    Your agent translates your plain-language instructions into working application code — features, pages, logic, and integrations — without you writing a single line yourself.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Runs Tests" icon="vial" href="/agents/directing-agents">
    After building or updating a feature, your agent runs automated checks to verify the change works as expected and has not broken anything else in your project.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Creates Previews" icon="eye" href="/workspace/preview-urls">
    Every change your agent makes is immediately accessible via a dedicated preview URL so you can see exactly what the software looks like before it goes live.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Maintains Context" icon="brain" href="/workspace/project-context">
    Your agent remembers your project — its goals, structure, decisions, and history — across every session, so you never have to repeat background information.

## Agent vs. Generic AI Chat

It is worth understanding why Azotha agents are fundamentally different from the general-purpose AI chat tools you may already use.

| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| **Execution**      | Runs code in a real, hosted environment            | Generates text only — no execution            |
| **Output**         | Working software you can preview and deploy        | Suggested code you must copy and run yourself |
| **Memory**         | Retains full project context across sessions       | Typically stateless — no persistent memory    |
| **Feedback loop**  | You review a live preview and give direct feedback | You review text and prompt again manually     |
| **Responsibility** | Manages the full build-and-test cycle              | Advises; you implement                        |

With a generic chat AI, you receive instructions and must carry them out yourself. With Azotha, you describe the outcome and the agent delivers it — tested, previewed, and ready.

## Your Agent, Your Environment

Every Azotha workspace comes with a dedicated agent that works exclusively on your projects. Your agent operates inside an isolated, managed environment: it cannot access other customers' workspaces, and no other customer's agent can access yours.

This isolation means your codebase, data, and instructions remain entirely within your workspace. You get the full focus of an agent that knows only your project — not a shared resource split across hundreds of simultaneous users.
