Caywork Platform
Author at Caywork
You don't need another article telling you Agent.ai closed on August 22, 2026; you already know, and you're past the "what happened" stage. What you actually need is a working list: for each type of agent you relied on, what's the closest thing available on Caywork today, and what do you need to rebuild yourself? This is that list, organized by the categories of work Agent.ai's own most-used agents covered: sales, meeting prep, marketing content, research, and video. Where a real match exists, we name it. Where it doesn't, we say so plainly, because a fake equivalent wastes more of your time than an honest gap does.
Why You Need a 1:1 Migration Map
A comparison article tells you why to switch platforms; it doesn't tell you what to actually do on a Tuesday afternoon when you need the workflow that used to run itself. That's the gap this piece is built to close, not "why Caywork," but "here's specifically what to click." Every workflow you built on Agent.ai took real time to get right, and reconstructing that from scratch without a reference point is slower and more frustrating than it needs to be. This map exists so you're rebuilding from a starting point instead of a blank page.
We're not going to pretend every Agent.ai agent has a perfect Caywork twin, because it doesn't, as no two platforms with different creator bases ever have that kind of parity. What we can do is tell you, category by category, where a genuinely close match exists in Caywork's 120+ agent marketplace, where you'll need to combine two agents or a bit of no-code logic to get the same result, and where you're better off treating it as a fresh build. That's more useful than a marketing page pretending the gaps don't exist.
How This Map Is Organized
Before diving into the category tables, it helps to know the logic behind how they're grouped so you can skip straight to the section that matches your old workflow instead of reading the whole thing. We organized this map around the five categories of agent that showed up most often in Agent.ai's own product announcements over its lifetime: sales and prospecting, meeting prep, marketing and content, research and competitive intelligence, and video and creative tools. Each section names the specific Agent.ai agent, states the closest Caywork match (or says clearly that none exists yet), and links directly to the Caywork agent's page so you can go try it immediately rather than hunting through the marketplace yourself.
Sales & Prospecting Agents: Agent.ai β Caywork Equivalents
Sales tooling was one of Agent.ai's strongest categories. The Sales Prospecting Team and the two premium sales agents it shipped later were built specifically to cut the research-then-draft cycle that eats a rep's morning. The honest news for anyone rebuilding this workflow: Caywork's marketing category covers the messaging and closing side well, but the full multi-agent prospecting pipeline (find β qualify β draft outreach) isn't a single bundled product the way it was on Agent.ai. You'll get there by combining one strong closing agent with your own research step.
| Agent.ai Agent | What It Did | Caywork Equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| Sales Prospecting Team (4 agents) | Find prospects, qualify, and draft personalized outreach. | No bundled equivalent: pair Conversational Closer: Sales Narrative Pro for outreach drafting with manual/CRM-sourced prospect lists |
| Premium Sales Agents (meeting prep + follow-up) | Research, prep, and post-meeting follow-up generation | Partial (see Meeting Prep category below) |
| Generate 3 Personalized Sales Emails | Draft email variations from context, zero prompt engineering | Conversational Closer: Sales Narrative Pro |
Meeting Prep & CRM Agents: Agent.ai vs. Caywork Equivalents
Meeting prep was one of Agent.ai's flagship use cases: research the company, learn about the person, get a brief, and generate follow-ups, all before the call starts. This is genuinely the category with the widest gap in Caywork's current marketplace: there's no single packaged "meeting prep" agent today. That doesn't mean the workflow is impossible to rebuild; it means it takes two pieces instead of one, using a research agent for the company-side work and the new V22 calendar integration to close the scheduling loop.
| Agent.ai Agent | What It Did | Caywork Equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| Meeting Prep Agent | Company and person research compiled into a pre-call brief | No direct match: FireScout: Advanced Web Intelligence covers the research half; pair with a manual brief template. |
| Meeting Workflow (research β prep β follow-up) | End-to-end connected system around a meeting | Rebuild with FireScout and the V22 Google Calendar connector for scheduling context |
Marketing & Content Creation Agents: Agent.ai vs. Caywork Equivalents
This is the category with the strongest overlap between the two platforms, which makes sense, as content generation was a core use case on both. If your old Agent.ai routine involved drafting blog posts, social copy, or ad variations, there's a good chance the closest Caywork agent is already live and discoverable under the Marketing category. The one clear exception is video, which we cover separately below because it's a genuine gap rather than a near-match.
| Agent.ai Agent | What It Did | Caywork Equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| Paid Ad Copywriter Agent | Ready-to-paste, platform-compliant ad copy for Google, Meta, LinkedIn | SEO Growth Engine: Strategic Keyword Architect for keyword-driven copy direction |
| Social Post Agent | Turns content ideas into ready-to-post social content | OmniChannel Social Post Architect |
| Blog-writing / long-form drafting | AI-assisted long-form content drafting | Blog Post Writer: Custom Voice, SEO & GEO |
| Better Prompt Agent | Turns rough ideas into structured prompts for better AI output | No direct match (closest is refining inputs manually before running any Caywork agent) |
Research & Competitive Intelligence Agents: Agent.ai to Caywork Equivalents
Agent.ai's Company Research Agent and Competitive Brief agents were built around the same core job: turn scattered public information into a structured brief in minutes instead of hours of manual searching. Caywork's closest match here is FireScout, which is built specifically for web intelligence gathering; the mechanics are similar even if the exact output format won't be identical to what you're used to. For narrower, academic-leaning research needs, ScholarDuck is worth checking even though it's a different audience fit than a general company-research tool.
| Agent.ai Agent | What It Did | Caywork Equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| Company Research Agent | Structured company research in under a minute | FireScout: Advanced Web Intelligence |
| Competitive Brief Agent | Monitors competitors, detects changes, and provides role-based insights. | No direct match: FireScout can be run manually on a recurring basis as a workaround. |
| Industry/Market Research Team & Trends Research | Market landscape briefs, 90-second trend digests | No direct match: ScholarDuck: Academic & Clinical Research Digest is closed only for research-heavy, academic-leaning use cases |
Video & Creative Agents: Agent.ai vs. Caywork Equivalents
This is the category to be most upfront about: Caywork does not currently have a video-generation or AI-avatar agent comparable to what Agent.ai offered. Headshot Generator, the HeyGen Avatar blog-to-video tool, and the YouTube Creator Team were genuinely popular, high-usage products, and there's no equivalent live on Caywork's marketplace today. If video was a core part of your workflow, this is the one category where you should plan on sourcing a separate, dedicated tool rather than expecting Caywork to cover it, at least for now.
| Agent.ai Agent | What It Did | Caywork Equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| Headshot Generator | AI-generated professional headshots from a selfie | No equivalent |
| HeyGen Avatar / Blog-to-Video | Converts blog posts into AI avatar videos | No equivalent |
| YouTube Creator Team | Idea β script β publish β promote workflow for YouTube | No equivalent |
What Doesn't Have a Direct Equivalent Yet
To be direct about it: video and AI-avatar tooling, a bundled meeting-prep agent, and a packaged multi-step sales-prospecting pipeline are the three biggest gaps in Caywork's current marketplace relative to what Agent.ai offered. None of these are permanently closed doors; Caywork's marketplace grows as creators publish new agents, and if you were a creator on Agent.ai who built something in one of these categories, publishing it on Caywork with the 75/25 revenue split is a direct way to fill the gap and get paid for it. For now, the honest move is to treat these three categories as rebuild-from-scratch rather than migrate and to combine Caywork's existing research and content agents with your own manual steps in the meantime.
How to Rebuild Your Workflow in Caywork
Knowing which agent maps to which is only half the job; actually reconstructing a working flow takes a bit of sequencing, especially if your old Agent.ai setup chained multiple steps together. The four steps below are the order we'd recommend, whether you're rebuilding a single agent or a full multi-step workflow using Caywork's V22 workflow nodes.
Step 1: Export/Document Your Agent.ai Setup
Since there's no official export tool between the platforms, your first step is manual: write down exactly what each agent did, what inputs it needed, and what output format you relied on downstream. Do this from memory or old outputs if the platform is already inaccessible to you, because the goal isn't a perfect technical spec, just enough detail that you (or whoever's rebuilding this) aren't guessing at the original logic. This step is tedious, but it's the one that prevents the most rework later.
Step 2: Recreate Context (Custom Instructions & Knowledge Base)
If your Agent.ai workflows leaned on custom instructions or a knowledge base to keep agents consistent with your brand voice and business context, that context needs to be rebuilt too, not just the agent logic. Caywork's knowledge base supports markdown, plain text, and PDF files, with up to 10 GB of storage on higher tiers, and files can be edited directly rather than re-uploaded every time something changes. Treat this step as seriously as the agent selection itself, as an agent without the right context produces generic output no matter how good the underlying model is.
Step 3: Connect Integrations
Most real workflows depend on integrations, not just the agent in isolation, so this step is where a lot of the actual value gets restored. Caywork's V22 release added native Gmail and Google Calendar connectors along with eight additional third-party integrations, all managed through a centralized Connection Manager rather than scattered per-agent settings. Reconnect whatever your old workflow touched (calendar, email, CRM) before you test the full flow end to end.
Step 4: Test & Publish
Once the agent, context, and integrations are in place, run the workflow on a low-stakes example before trusting it with real work: the same discipline you'd apply to any new tool, not just a migrated one. If you're rebuilding something you originally built and monetized on Agent.ai, this is also the point to register as a Caywork creator so your republished agent is eligible for the 75/25 revenue split from its very first sale, rather than losing that window entirely.
FAQ
1. Do I have to rebuild everything from scratch?
For agents with a close Caywork equivalent (most marketing, content, and general research workflows), you're reconfiguring an existing agent, not building one. For meeting prep, prospecting pipelines, and anything video-related, yes, you're closer to a from-scratch rebuild today.
2. Can I keep using Custom Instructions the same way?
The concept carries over (Caywork's knowledge base plays the same role Custom Instructions did on Agent.ai), but you'll need to re-enter that context manually since there's no cross-platform export.
3. What if the agent I need genuinely doesn't exist on Caywork?
That's real for video/avatar tools specifically right now. Your options are to use a dedicated third-party tool for that piece, or, if you have the skill to build it, publish it yourself on Caywork and be the one who fills that gap.
Next Steps
Start with whichever category maps most directly to your daily work: most people migrating from Agent.ai will find their highest-usage workflow was marketing or research, both of which have solid Caywork equivalents today.
