Custom Agents are AI teammates that automate your busywork. Here are five tips to build your first one:

1. Pick one task you do repeatedly (tagging, routing, weekly recaps)

2. Write clear instructions: your goal, the format, and what to do when it's unsure

3. Add a trigger (on a schedule or when X happens) so it runs in the background

4. Start with the fewest permissions needed. You can expand later

5. Test run → tweak → test again
