It joins your workforce.
Every Custom Agent gets its own identity, instructions and permissions. It works inside the same policies, approvals and audit trail as the rest of Light.
Custom Agents join the workforce that already ships with Light. See the full workforce
It runs, then delivers the result to where your team already is.
The agent works on the schedule you set, in the background, and the result arrives inside Light or directly in Slack.
80% average time saved on repetitive admin work.
Handed to a Custom Agent instead of a finance team, on the schedule an admin set.

Questions
What is a Custom Agent?
An instruction an admin writes in plain language, running on a schedule inside their Light account under its own identity.
Where do Custom Agents sit in Light?
The ledger records the business, apps adapt to it, and the workforce operates it. Custom Agents are how you add to the third.
How does a Custom Agent differ from Light’s built-in agents?
The Bill Agent, Accrual Agent and Contract Agent ship with Light. A Custom Agent is one you write yourself, for work specific to your business.
Do I need to write code?
No. There is no builder, no rules engine and no syntax.
When can it run?
Daily, weekly or monthly, at a time and timezone you choose. One agent can hold several schedules.
Can I see what it did?
Yes. Every run appears in the jobs table with the prompt, the tools called and the result.
Can I require approval before it acts?
Yes, simply ask it to confirm with you before acting.
How many can we have?
Fifty per company.
The world’s most demanding finance teams run on Light.
