# What is Dataleap
> Dataleap is an AI work automation platform. You build Agents — intelligent workflows that connect your tools and complete tasks automatically.
Dataleap is an AI work automation platform. You build **Agents** — intelligent workflows that connect your tools and complete tasks automatically.
## Anatomy of an agent
Every agent combines the same three kinds of capability, orchestrated by the model:
* **Built-in tools** — native capabilities every agent gets out of the box: web search, lead enrichment, transcription, reading text from images (OCR), image generation, webhooks.
* **Connected apps** — your existing stack. Each connected app brings its own triggers and actions: Outlook, Teams, Excel, Salesforce, Snowflake, Jira, and many more.
* **Sandbox computer** — a full computer at the agent's disposal for advanced operations: storing and transforming files, writing and running Python.
## Mental model
**Think of an agent as an AI employee.** Like a coworker, it has a job description (its instructions), the tools to do that job (its connections), and a reason to start working (its triggers). You onboard it, give it feedback, and over time trust it with more.
**Brain, body, and arms.** Another way to picture it:
* The **brain** is the instructions and the model — how the agent thinks and decides.
* The **body** is the sandbox and runtime — where the agent's work actually happens.
* The **arms** are the integrations and tools — how the agent reaches into your systems to read and act.
## Common agent shapes
Agents come in recurring shapes — knowing them helps you reach for the right one instead of one giant prompt:
| Shape | What it is |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Personal agent** | Automates your own daily and weekly work. Where everyone starts. |
| **Team agent** | Lives in a [team space](/share/team-spaces) — the whole team can see, run, and edit it, on team credentials. |
| **Chat interface agent** | An agent others talk to — ask questions, make requests (e.g., in a Teams channel). A hosted chat interface is on its way. |
| **Business process agent** | Reimagines a whole process end-to-end, beyond one person's tasks. |
| **Templated agent** | A shared starting point others deploy and adapt — see [Templates](/share/templates). |
| **Admin-controlled agent** | One owner builds and maintains it; everyone else runs a copy. Ideal for standardizing at scale — see [locked templates](/share/locked-templates). |
## How it works
Describe the job in plain language.
Give it access to the systems it needs.
Decide what should wake it up — and from then on, it runs on its own.
## The vision
You start by building one agent for yourself. It rarely stops there: in every team, power users become **champions** who build agents the whole team profits from. Shared as team agents and templates, those agents get cloned and adapted by colleagues — until agents quietly run across the whole organization, governed with budgets and permissions. One agent today; the org compounds from there.
