# Product guide overview

> A simple introduction to agents, tasks, tools, rules, integrations, and workspaces.

This guide is for business users who want to understand what Nanonets Agents can do.

An agent is a digital teammate. You give it instructions, connect the tools it needs, and run it on real work like invoices, emails, forms, spreadsheets, and internal requests.

## The main ideas

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Agents" icon="robot" href="/docs/guide/build-an-agent">
    An agent is the workflow you set up. It knows what job to do, which steps to follow, and which tools it can use.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Tasks" icon="play" href="/docs/guide/running-tasks">
    A task is one run of an agent. For example, one invoice review or one customer email.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Tools" icon="wrench" href="/docs/guide/tools-and-capabilities">
    Tools let agents read documents, look up data, send emails, update spreadsheets, create files, and ask people for help.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Rules" icon="list-check" href="/docs/guide/rules">
    Rules are what you teach the agent, by correcting a result, giving an instruction, or adding one yourself.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## What an agent can help with

Agents are best for work that follows a repeatable pattern.

They can help you:

* Read documents and pull out key data.
* Check data against a spreadsheet or business system.
* Ask a person when something is unclear.
* Create a file, report, draft email, or spreadsheet.
* Send results to tools like Google Sheets, Google Drive, Slack, email, or ERP systems.

<Tip>
  Start with one clear process, such as "review invoices from vendors" or "extract data from onboarding forms." You can improve the agent over time.
</Tip>
