Assistants

Create reusable specialist helpers when the same kind of work keeps coming back.

Assistants are the reusable specialists inside Kaer. They matter when one good chat pattern turns into something you want to keep around, name properly, and hand to other people without rewriting the brief each time.

What belongs here

Use Assistants when the work has a recognisable role. A research assistant, a release writer, a client update assistant, or an internal reviewer are all easier to reuse when they live here instead of being buried in old chat threads. The page gives those roles a stable home.

How the page should be read

Each card tells you whether an assistant is active, when it was last updated, and what kind of working style it is set up for. That makes it possible to judge quickly whether the assistant is current, whether it is still being used, and whether it should be refined before you rely on it for real work.

When to create one instead of staying in chat

If a pattern still changes heavily from one run to the next, leave it in Agent Workspace. Create an assistant when the role is already clear and the main gain is consistency. That is the point where the saved setup becomes useful rather than restrictive.

The cleanest way to improve one

The best refinement loop is still practical. Run the work, review the result, then tighten the assistant based on what was missing. If the output keeps drifting in the same direction, the assistant definition needs revision. If the work itself keeps changing, the issue is usually scope rather than the assistant.
