# Working with AI Agents: Your Guide to RuleWise's Specialized Assistants
RuleWise isn't just a single AI—it's a team of specialized agents, each designed to excel at different compliance tasks. Think of them as expert colleagues you can call on whenever you need specific types of help. This guide will show you how to work effectively with each agent and when to use which one.
## Understanding the Agent System
### How Agents Work
When you're chatting with RuleWise, the main AI can invoke specialized agents to help answer your questions:
1. **You Ask a Question**: You type your compliance question or request
2. **RuleWise Analyzes**: The main AI determines which agent (if any) would be most helpful
3. **Agent Activation**: The relevant agent is called in to help
4. **Specialized Response**: The agent uses its specific capabilities and knowledge to assist
5. **Integrated Answer**: You receive a comprehensive response combining the agent's expertise with the main AI
**You Don't Need to Specify Agents**: In most cases, RuleWise automatically selects the right agent based on your question. However, you can request a specific agent if you know which one you need.
### Requesting a Specific Agent
**Automatic Selection** (Recommended):
Just ask your question naturally:
"I need to understand our AML transaction monitoring procedures"
**Explicit Request**:
You can also request a specific agent:
"Can RuleWise Insight help me research GDPR data retention requirements?"
"I'd like RuleWise Quest to create training on our code of conduct"

## Best Practices for Working with All Agents
### Be Clear About Your Objective
**Less Effective**: "Tell me about AML."
**More Effective**: "I need to prepare for our annual AML risk assessment. Can Probe help me understand the key areas I should focus on?"
### Provide Context
**Less Effective**: "Create a quiz."
**More Effective**: "Create a quiz on our market abuse policy for traders who have 5+ years of experience."
### Give Feedback
If an agent's response isn't quite what you need:
- "Can you make this more specific to retail clients rather than institutional clients?"
- "That's too technical—can you simplify the explanations?"
- "I need more detailed examples of how this applies to my daily work."
### Use Follow-Up Questions
Agents remember conversation context:
- After Insight provides research: "Can you create a one-page summary I can share with my manager?"
- After Quest creates a quiz: "Can you make question 3 more challenging?"
- After Inspector identifies gaps: "What specific steps should we take to remediate the high-priority findings?"
### Document Your Learning
