Onboard / Guide AI Agents: 13 Real Examples

This directory currently includes 13 recipes for the onboard / guide pattern, across 9 roles. Onboard and guide agents help someone move through a defined sequence of steps. They can introduce a new user, employee, customer, or contributor to the right information, collect required inputs, and make the next action obvious. This pattern is useful when success depends on completing a process consistently, but people arrive with different levels of context. The examples show guided workflows rather than generic chat. A useful guide knows the stage, explains what is needed now, and routes edge cases to a person or documented path. Start with an onboarding flow that already has clear milestones and owners. Make privacy, accessibility, and escalation requirements explicit before asking an agent to handle real people or sensitive information. Every example makes its inputs, output, and handoff concrete, so you can compare real workflow boundaries before adapting the pattern to your own tools and process.
