# What is ASCN Agent?

> An AI assistant that works for you — while you're busy with something else.

ASCN Agent is your personal AI assistant. You tell it what to do and which services it can access. From there it works on its own: reads your email, watches your calendar, sends what you need to Telegram or Slack — without your involvement.

## What it consists of

An agent is three parts:

1. **Brain** — you tell the agent who it is, which services it's connected to, and which documents it knows
2. **Tasks** — what the agent does on its own and when: every morning, on a new email, on your request
3. **Channels** — where the agent talks to you: ASCN, Telegram or Slack
