Getting the most out of your Klow AI agent: 10 power-user tips

Deploying an agent takes minutes. Getting the most out of it takes a bit of tuning. These 10 tips come from people who've been running Klow agents daily — the things they wish they'd known on day one.

1. Give context, not just commands

Instead of "write a tweet," try "write a tweet announcing our Series A — tone should match our previous announcements, focus on what we're building, not the money." The more context you give, the less you'll need to edit the output. Agents are great at following detailed instructions.

2. Edit SOUL.md to shape personality

Every agent has a SOUL.md file in its workspace. This is the agent's personality and operating manual. Want it to be more formal? More concise? An expert in a specific domain? Edit SOUL.md from the dashboard under Workspace files. Changes take effect immediately — no redeploy needed.

3. Use heartbeats for proactive check-ins

Heartbeats are periodic wake-ups where your agent checks in and does background work. Configure HEARTBEAT.md with a checklist: check email, scan news, review portfolio. Your agent will cycle through these automatically, reaching out only when something needs your attention.

4. Set up your daily digest

Enable daily digests in agent settings. Every morning, your agent sends a summary of everything it did in the last 24 hours — tasks completed, things it flagged, pending items. It's like a standup report from your AI employee.

5. Web chat vs. Telegram — use both

Telegram is great for quick messages on the go. The web dashboard is better for longer conversations, reviewing activity feeds, and managing workspace files. They stay in sync, so switch between them freely.

6. Check the activity feed regularly

The activity feed on the dashboard shows everything your agent has been doing — tool calls, searches, file edits, messages. It's your audit trail. If your agent does something unexpected, this is where you figure out why.

7. Manage your credits wisely

Every agent interaction uses credits. Longer conversations, bigger models, and tool-heavy tasks cost more. Check your credit balance on the dashboard and set up alerts before you run low. You can also switch to a lighter model for routine tasks to conserve credits.

8. Switch models when it makes sense

Not every task needs the most powerful model. Quick lookups and simple drafts? A fast model works fine. Complex analysis or creative writing? Upgrade to a stronger model for that session. You can change the model in agent settings anytime.

9. Use MEMORY.md for long-term context

Your agent has daily memory files, but MEMORY.md is its curated long-term memory. Add important context there: your company's positioning, key contacts, project details, preferences. The agent reads this every session, so anything in MEMORY.md shapes every interaction.

10. Talk to it like a colleague, not a search engine

The biggest shift for new users: stop treating your agent like Google. It's not a query box — it's a persistent worker with context. Say "follow up on that email from yesterday" or "keep monitoring this and let me know if anything changes." It remembers. It follows through. Ready for more?

“The agents that perform best aren't the ones with the fanciest prompts. They're the ones whose owners took 15 minutes to set up SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, and a heartbeat schedule.”
