Vsimple Sprint 169 introduces a new way for businesses to start putting AI Agents to work, along with enhancements that make vAI easier to use, monitor, and incorporate into everyday processes.

The biggest addition this sprint is the MVP release of Vsimple Chat Agents, a flexible new type of vAI Agent designed to help teams solve specific business problems without first building an entire workflow around them.

Alongside Chat Agents, Sprint 169 adds form-based prompt execution, better email visibility, expanded automation conditions, and several user experience improvements across Vsimple.

Introducing Vsimple Chat Agents

Not every AI use case needs to begin with a complete process transformation.

Sometimes, a team simply needs an Agent that understands its business, has access to the right knowledge, and can help accomplish a specific type of work.

That is where Vsimple Chat Agents come in.

Chat Agents are vAI Agents that operate independently from a Vsimple workflow. They can be configured around a specific role, task, knowledge base, or business use case, giving organizations a more accessible way to introduce AI Agents into their operations.

Think of the concept as similar to creating a specialized AI skill or workspace, but built around the context and needs of your business.

Instead of asking a general-purpose AI tool the same questions over and over, businesses can create purpose-built Chat Agents designed for repeatable use cases.

For example, a commercial furniture team could use a Stylist Agent to help interpret project requirements and guide product recommendations. A sales team could use a Lead Finder Agent to support prospect research and identify potential opportunities.

And those are only starting points.

Chat Agents can be configured for different departments, industries, and responsibilities depending on the work a business needs to accomplish.

A Simpler Starting Point for AI Agents

One of the biggest barriers to AI adoption is not necessarily the technology. It is figuring out where to start.

More advanced automation can require teams to map workflows, connect systems, define business rules, and change how employees complete certain processes. Those projects can create significant value, but not every organization is ready to begin there.

Chat Agents give businesses another path.

Because they do not need to be built on top of a complete Vsimple workflow, they can provide a faster starting point for companies that want to introduce AI into a specific area of the business first.

Teams can begin with a focused use case, learn how employees interact with an Agent, and identify additional opportunities for AI as adoption grows.

Vsimple's workflow-driven Agents are now identified as Process Agents, creating two complementary approaches:

Chat Agents provide specialized, conversational AI experiences around specific business needs.

Process Agents execute and coordinate work as part of structured business processes across people, data, and systems.

Together, they give businesses more flexibility in deciding where and how to begin adopting AI Agents.

A Better Way to Start vAI Prompts

Sprint 169 also introduces Form Fill prompt execution mode.

Instead of requiring users to type all of the necessary information into a chat window, a vAI custom prompt can now begin with a structured form.

The user fills in the required fields, submits the information, and vAI uses those responses to execute the prompt.

This creates a more consistent experience for repeatable requests because the Agent can collect the information it needs before beginning its work.

For businesses, that means less ambiguity and greater standardization. For users, it means they do not have to figure out exactly how to phrase a request every time they need an Agent to perform a task.

Better Visibility Into Agent Activity

As businesses deploy more AI Agents, understanding how frequently those Agents are being used becomes increasingly important.

Sprint 169 improves the vAI activity dashboard by allowing Agents to be sorted based on action volume.

Administrators can more quickly see which Agents are performing the most actions across their environment, giving teams another way to understand adoption and activity.

More Flexible Date-Based Automations

Automations can now use "Date is Today" conditions for dates stored within Table and Task sections.

This expands the types of time-sensitive workflows teams can create inside Vsimple.

For example, an automation could identify tasks due today and launch an action based on this trigger. 

It is a small addition with the potential to make everyday workflow automation more precise.

A Faster, More Consistent Vsimple Experience

Sprint 169 also includes several improvements to the overall user experience.

We've improved how completed single-prompt vAI activity appears in the activity stream, and standardized action button labels and styles.

These updates help make Vsimple feel faster and more consistent as users move between records, Agents, automations, and everyday work.

More Ways to Put AI Agents to Work

Sprint 169 expands what adopting AI Agents can look like inside Vsimple.

Some organizations may be ready for Process Agents that coordinate work across complete workflows. Others may have one specific problem they want an Agent to help solve today.

Now, businesses have a clearer path for both.

With Chat Agents providing a more accessible starting point and continued improvements to vAI, automation, and the Vsimple experience, teams can start with a focused use case and expand AI into more of their operations as they discover where it can create the greatest impact.
