AI agent templates are ready-made agents with a defined role, skills and limits, so a team can start using AI without designing each agent from scratch. In AlianHub they come as team packs: role agents for 15 teams, set up through eight company blueprints, from IT companies to clinics. Switch a pack on and its agents join your projects, paused until you say go, and the whole pack can be undone.
Key takeaways
- Do not build an agent from a blank page. Start from a role.
- AlianHub has team packs for 15 teams and eight company blueprints.
- Every agent in a pack starts paused. Nothing runs until you choose.
- One click turns a pack on. One undo removes it.
- Plan one person to supervise 3 to 5 agent seats.
Why templates beat building from scratch
Designing a good agent means choosing its skills, its allowed actions, its autonomy level and its scope. That is a lot to get right for a team that just wants help with its bug queue or its campaign calendar.
Templates move that work upstream. You start from a role that already makes sense, then adjust.
Most teams do not need a custom agent. They need a sensible one, switched on today.
The 15 teams
On the teams page, the packs cover Engineering & QA, Design, Product, Marketing, Sales, Support, People (HR), Finance, Operations & logistics, Purchasing, Production, quality & maintenance, Construction sites, Client delivery, Schools and Clinics.
Here are some of the role agents the site lists:
| Team pack | Role agents |
|---|---|
| Engineering & QA | Bug Triager, Code Reviewer, QA Engineer, Release Manager |
| Design | Design Lead, UI/UX Designer, Design QA Reviewer |
| Product | PRD Writer, Roadmap Keeper, Feedback Collector, Risk Watch |
| Marketing | Campaign Manager, SEO Specialist, Content Writer, Social Media Manager |
| Sales | Sales Development Rep, Proposal Writer, Quote Preparer, Order Intake |
| Support | Support Agent, Support Lead, Customer Service Agent, Knowledge Base Writer |
Other agents named across the site include an Invoice Preparer for finance, a Snag List Keeper for construction, a Front Desk Request Sorter and a Credential Expiry Watch.
Company blueprints
The eight blueprints are IT company, Manufacturing, Agency, E-commerce, Construction, Professional services, Education and Clinic administration. Sizes are offered as Small (5 to 25), Medium (25 to 150) and Large (150 to 1,000).
What every template agent has
A template agent is a full AlianHub agent, not a shortcut around the controls:
- An owner, a run budget and a scope.
- A skill and a list of allowed actions.
- One autonomy level, from L0 to L3.
- An AGENT tag wherever it appears.
- No access to hard-stop actions: no deleting, billing, deploying, merging, removing members, changing permissions or marking Done.
Packs also come with the right workspace tools. The Sales pack pairs with a table with custom fields, Email to Task and Slack commands. The Marketing pack pairs with Calendar view and calendar feeds for Google, Outlook or Apple. You can explore these on the features page.
Tip: on the site, a "seat" is one connected AI working a role, and the guidance is one person supervising 3 to 5 seats. Use that to decide how many agents to unpause at once.
How to do this in AlianHub
- Open the team pack for your team and turn it on in one click. Team packs are switched on by whoever runs the server, so ask them if you do not see the option.
- The pack's role agents join your projects, all Paused.
- Open AI in the left menu, then the Agents tab, to see each agent's level, skill and what it writes.
- Unpause one agent first. Set a sensible level, usually L0 or L1, and a monthly spend cap.
- Assign it a few tasks, or select several tasks and let the router propose an agent per task. It refuses those that need a person.
- Review its proposals in AI Inbox with Approve or Decline.
- If the pack is not right for you, undo the whole pack.
Make templates your own
Templates are a starting point. The skill library lets you dry-run, edit or retire versioned playbooks, and add your own skills.
Built-in skills include qa-review for checking a page for defects, pr.summary for summarising a linked pull request, fields.fill for filling AI fields and prd.draft for drafting a PRD as a page that stays a draft until approved. pr.summary reads outside your workspace, so it stays off until the person who runs the server turns external reads on.
A business scenario
A construction firm runs several sites with a small office team. It switches on the Construction blueprint, unpauses the Snag List Keeper on one site, and keeps the agent at L1 so every update is reviewed.
The result: snag lists stay current between site visits, the office spends less time chasing photos and notes, and fewer items slip past handover dates. Once the first site works, the firm unpauses the same agent on the next site, growing AI use one project at a time.
Copy what works. Undo what does not.
Templates and the router
Templates get more useful when work arrives in bulk. Select several tasks and the router proposes an agent per task, for example the Front Desk Request Sorter for general requests and the Credential Expiry Watch for renewals. It refuses tasks that need a person.
In Ask, you can also see the work AI can take: open tasks grouped by the way the router would classify them, using a scoped query and a set of rules, with no model called to draw it. Tasks with no obvious shape are not offered to an agent until you give them a brief.
Choosing your first pack
- Busiest queue first. Support or Engineering often see value fastest.
- Lowest risk first. Reporting and drafting roles are safer than roles that move work.
- One agent at a time. Unpause, watch, then add the next.
