Bots - Twent Docs
Bots
Twent agents with a specific task, triggered manually, on a schedule, by webhook, or by MCP events.
Bots are essentially AI agents that are given a specific task — and they keep doing it without you having to ask each time. You can create a bot yourself, or your Twent agent can create one on your behalf.
Triggers
Each bot runs on one of four trigger types:
- Manual — no automatic firing; you (or the chat agent) trigger it whenever you want
- Scheduled — fires automatically on a cron schedule you set
- Webhook — fires when Twent’s local HTTP server receives a matching POST request
- MCP event — fires when a subscribed MCP server emits a matching event
Any bot can also be fired manually at any time — via the calendar page button or by asking the chat agent. Bots can be created by you directly in the bot form, or by the chat agent itself.
Managing bots
All of your bots appear in the app alongside the agent’s work — see the “Bots & Tasks” page for the bird’s-eye overview (covered in Subagents).
