Agent resource fieldsGobii Agent API
Create an agent once, then schedule it, message it, connect tools and files, inspect its timeline, and manage its lifecycle from your product. The result is an AI employee experience without reducing ongoing work to disconnected one-off runs.

Persistent by design
Keep identity, configuration, schedule, messages, files, and observable work attached to the same agent instead of rebuilding context for every request.
Set a name, charter, optional schedule, contact policy, and supported tool configuration.
Agent resource fieldsRun on cron-like schedules, send a message through the API, or deliver an event through a documented webhook surface.
Webhooks and eventsCombine browsers, connected apps, MCP servers, files, and schema-guided JSON output where supported.
Structured dataRead timeline events and processing state, update configuration, or activate and deactivate the agent without deleting it.
Timelines and statePick the right interface
The Agent API is the persistent resource model. Remote MCP, webhooks, and the legacy Browser Task API solve adjacent integration problems rather than naming the same interface.
Use REST to create, schedule, message, inspect, update, activate, deactivate, or delete persistent agents.
Read the Agent API guideConnect an external MCP client to Gobii so it can manage, message, wait on, and exchange files with accessible agents.
Connect through Remote MCPChoose the documented inbound, outbound, connected-app, provider, or legacy task callback surface for your event direction.
Review the event taxonomyUse the legacy task API only for single, ad hoc browser automation jobs that do not need a persistent agent timeline.
Read the legacy task guideDeveloper products
These are example product patterns supported by the current developer surfaces, not customer case studies.
Run recurring research on a schedule, keep source material in the workspace, and deliver findings through the agent timeline or configured channels.
See schedule supportTrigger a specific agent from an inbound webhook or API message, then observe work through timeline events and processing state.
Configure inbound webhooksPut your own application UI in front of dedicated agents while Gobii provides the persistent resource, schedule, messages, and timeline.
Open the Agent API referenceCombine browser work, files, connected apps, structured output, and assigned MCP servers in one long-lived workflow.
Explore tools and appsProduction operations
Use the platform controls that match the owner, risk, cadence, and observability needs of each agent.
Personal agents belong to a user; organization agents belong to the team and follow organization roles and shared resources. Review ownership and roles.
Send X-Api-Key on Agent API requests. Read authentication basics, then review personal and organization key scope.
Assign supported personal or organization MCP servers and connected app tools only where the agent needs them. See organization MCP assignment and tools and apps.
Set an optional schedule, activate or deactivate the agent, and use supported daily credit controls to bound recurring work. Understand usage and limits.
Inspect messages, task markers, processing state, files, and deliverables through the supported product and API views. Learn how timelines work.
Design agents to pause for human input, secrets, contacts, or important changes where the product supports approval requests. Set approval boundaries.
Deployment choice
Choose the managed path for speed, or operate the open-source platform when infrastructure control matters more.
Use the hosted API and managed runtime when you want the fastest path without operating schedulers, task queues, browser infrastructure, storage, and upgrades.
Run Gobii in your infrastructure when you need private-network reach, deployment-local data, infrastructure control, or platform customization.
Create your key, follow the verified quickstart, and manage the agent through its schedule, messages, tools, timeline, and lifecycle.
