Build a Writing Agent

An agent that drafts, edits, and refines your ideas.

Writing agents are one of the most natural starting points in Playnex. They help you think, outline, draft, and polish — quietly working beside you, shaping your ideas into clear, expressive language.

1. Create the Agent

Start by creating a new agent:

playnex agent create

Use these values:

  • Name: writing-agent
  • Purpose: You help draft, edit, and refine written content with clarity and warmth.
  • Model: Choose your preferred local model (e.g., Llama, Mistral, Qwen).

2. Add Writing Tools

Give your agent the ability to save drafts and analyze text:

playnex agent add-tool writing-agent

Select tools such as:

  • File Writer — save drafts into capsules
  • Document Analyzer — evaluate tone, clarity, structure

3. Talk to Your Agent

Open a chat session:

playnex agent chat writing-agent

Try asking:

“Draft a short introduction about local-first AI.”

Your agent will generate a draft and can save it into a capsule on request.


4. Save Work Into Capsules

Ask the agent:

“Save this draft as a new capsule.”

Or manually:

playnex capsule create

Capsules become your writing archive — a growing library of drafts and ideas.


5. Iterate and Refine

Writing agents excel at revision. Try:

“Improve clarity and tighten the language.”

Or:

“Rewrite this in a more conversational tone.”

Your agent becomes a partner in your writing process — a quiet collaborator who helps shape your voice.
