Agents Pro Tips

By now, you’ve learned what Agents are, how to configure them, and how to run them. This section is your cheat sheet — a collection of time-saving habits, power features, and expert tips to help you get the most out of Ongage Studio’s Agent system.

Naming Conventions That Keep You Sane

• Use descriptive names that combine purpose + timing:
  “Weekly Quote Check – Mondays”, “AI Digest Blog – Short Form”
• Include the format or audience in the title if you’re managing multiple campaigns
• For chained Agents, add a step number or content type for clarity (e.g., “1. Blog Draft” → “2. Humanized” → “3. SEO Block”)

Template Smarts

• Save common Agent configurations as templates
• Use cloned templates with slight changes for different campaigns, voices, or clients
• Standardize naming and tag rules so new team members can jump in quickly

Input Field Tricks

• You can paste in long-form prompts, outlines, or even partial drafts as input
• Agents will accept content from other Agents (e.g., summarizer input = article draft)
• Use Datastreams to automatically populate prompts with the latest articles or quotes

Chain with Confidence

• Always test each Agent step manually before chaining them
• Insert a humanization step between writing and publishing to reduce AI detection
• Use quote verifiers and source extractors mid-sequence to boost editorial accuracy

Troubleshooting Tips

• If an Agent fails silently, check for:
  • Empty or malformed input
  • Source URLs that lead to paywalls or redirects
  • Datastreams with no qualifying content
• Re-running an Agent often fixes edge cases due to temporary fetch or formatting issues

Use Labels and Tags Effectively

• Add consistent tags for campaigns, clients, or content types
• Schedule filters by tag to batch-run Agents for similar projects
• Use site-level labels to organize Agents and outputs cleanly

Build Your Own Agent Library

• Start small with just 3–5 high-use Agents
• Add new ones slowly as your strategy matures
• Organize by category: writing, refining, verifying, formatting, publishing
