## How Ageno works (at a glance)

* **Agents and sub‑agents**: Agents can delegate to specialized sub‑agents (e.g., writing, keyword research, analysis) to complete complex, multi‑step work.
* **To‑do lists for long tasks**: Agents plan and track steps with structured to‑dos, enabling autonomous progress on longer workflows.
* **Virtual files for context**: Agents create and manage virtual files to maintain working context separate from final outputs.
* **Tools and systems**: Connect tools so agents can work within your systems.
* **Knowledge base**: Add your documents so agents can reference accurate, proprietary information.
* **Autonomous operation**: Agents can work independently with the right configuration and tools.
