# Inside AI Agents

Understand how AI agents work. Then build a shared brain your team can use.

## Part 1: How agents work

You need any AI assistant, such as Claude or ChatGPT.

- [1. Why AI agents need a harness, and how it works](https://hubzoid.com/academy/inside-ai-agents/01-why-agents-need-a-harness): See how a harness turns a model request into a useful sequence of steps.
- [2. Knowledge and skills: how AI agents use your business knowledge](https://hubzoid.com/academy/inside-ai-agents/02-knowledge-and-skills): Give an agent the right knowledge and procedure for a task.
- [3. Tools, connectors and MCP: how AI agents take action](https://hubzoid.com/academy/inside-ai-agents/03-tools-and-connectors): Describe a tool with clear inputs, then see how an agent calls it.
- [4. Three types of AI agents, one brain](https://hubzoid.com/academy/inside-ai-agents/04-three-types-one-brain): Choose what starts a task: a person, a trigger or an assistant.

## Part 2: Build it with Hubzoid

You need Python 3.11 or 3.12, and Claude Code or Codex signed in, or a model API key. Lessons 6 and 9 also need the hub on a server, with sign-in turned on. The example project has every file from this part.

- [5. The brain in detail: build your first hub with Hubzoid](https://hubzoid.com/academy/inside-ai-agents/05-the-brain-in-detail): Create a hub, add your files and ask your first question.
- [6. The Ask agent: give your team an AI agent in chat](https://hubzoid.com/academy/inside-ai-agents/06-ask-agent): Make the shared brain available to a teammate in chat.
- [7. The daily report: an AI agent workflow on a schedule](https://hubzoid.com/academy/inside-ai-agents/07-daily-report): Run a daily report manually, inspect it, then schedule delivery.
- [8. Your own Claude, connected through MCP](https://hubzoid.com/academy/inside-ai-agents/08-your-claude-via-mcp): Connect an assistant to your hub with your own identity.
- [9. Access and telemetry: run AI agents for a whole team](https://hubzoid.com/academy/inside-ai-agents/09-access-and-telemetry): Grant one restricted tool and trace its use in Activity.
