Connect an agent
Add Busabase to the agent you already use
Every agent below can read your workspace and write back through Change Requests, so each change carries a message and a diff. Pick yours for the exact commands, config file, and how to check the connection.

Choose the resource you need, then follow the setup guide for your agent below.
A database for agent work
Keep structured records with stable fields, sources, and version history. Use scoped credentials to decide which changes need review.
A knowledge base for your agent
Preserve reviewed findings beyond a conversation. Start with an agent-specific guide to records, sources, and reuse.
An apps library for agent tasks
Explore templates for organizing work around shared records. A template is a starting point; connections and permissions still need setup.
