# Introduction

> Pinksheep turns a plain-English description into a working, scheduled business automation agent. No code, no workflows, no drag-and-drop.

## What is Pinksheep?

Pinksheep is an AI agent builder for non-technical operators. You describe the automation you want in a chat, Pinksheep assembles it, you test it, and deploy it. Your agent runs on a schedule or on demand, connecting the tools your business already uses.

### How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Describe what you want">
    Open the builder and describe the task in plain English. Mention the apps involved with @mentions (e.g. "Pull new leads from @HubSpot and send a summary to @Slack every morning").
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your tools">
    Pinksheep detects the apps your agent needs and walks you through connecting them via OAuth. Your credentials stay with the provider; Pinksheep never stores passwords.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the plan">
    The builder produces an agent plan showing every step, what it reads, what it writes, and the estimated cost per run. Nothing executes without your approval.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test before you deploy">
    Run a sandboxed dry-run to see exactly what the agent will do. If it fails, fix it in the builder with full failure context.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Deploy and monitor">
    Deploy with one click. Your agent runs on the schedule you set, and you get notified when it completes, fails, or needs your approval for a write action.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Core principles

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Propose, don't act" icon="shield-check">
    Agents that write to external systems default to "propose" mode. They prepare the action, show you what they'll do, and wait for your approval.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Test before deploy" icon="flask">
    Every agent can be dry-run before deployment. The test uses real connections but operates in a sandboxed context so nothing is written.
  </Card>

  <Card title="No code required" icon="message">
    The conversational builder handles everything: tool selection, execution planning, scheduling, and permissions. You describe outcomes, not implementation.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Transparent cost" icon="diamond">
    Every agent plan shows the estimated credits per run and projected monthly cost before you deploy.

## What you can build

Pinksheep agents work best for repeatable business tasks across your existing tools:

* **RevOps**: Enrich CRM contacts, generate pipeline reports, auto-respond to leads
* **Finance**: Reconcile invoices, sync transactions, flag discrepancies
* **Operations**: Digest Slack channels, monitor competitor pricing, onboard new customers
* **Data**: Aggregate activity summaries, compile weekly metrics, sync across systems

Check the [Template Library](https://app.pinksheep.ai/agents/templates) for ready-to-activate agents, or build your own from scratch.
