# AI Agent Publication Channels

After the creation and configuration stage, the next step for an AI agent is its publication. In **Skyone Studio**, publication channels are the touchpoints that connect the agent's intelligence to end users, customers, or legacy systems.

The platform centralizes this distribution, allowing a single agent to operate on multiple fronts—from messaging apps to data analysis tools—ensuring a consistent and scalable experience.

### **Benefits of multichannel strategy**

By utilizing **Skyone Studio** publication channels, your operation gains efficiency and reach:

* **Omnichannel reach:** Make the agent available in environments where your audience is already present (WhatsApp, Slack, internal systems).
* **Unified experience:** Behavior, personality, and knowledge base remain identical across all touchpoints.
* **Scalability:** Ability to process high volumes of simultaneous interactions without performance loss, regardless of the channel.
* **Centralized management:** Add or remove publication channels without the need to recreate the agent or change its core logic.

### Types of publication flows

Currently, **Skyone Studio** organizes publication into two main flows, addressing different business needs:

**1. Chat Interfaces (Conversational)**

Focused on direct, real-time interactions, ideal for support, quick queries, and process automation.

* **WhatsApp:** Direct integration for mobile and accessible service.
* **Microsoft Teams:** Publication aimed at internal corporate collaboration.
* **Slack:** Connectivity for technical teams and agile environments.
* **Private Chat:** Native and restricted interface within the Skyone ecosystem.
* **Public Chat:** Open interface that allows access via link or embedding on external websites.

**2. Business Intelligence (BI)**

Turns the agent into a data analyst. The user interacts via natural language to extract insights from complex dashboards and reports.

* **Power BI:** Integration with the Microsoft tool for dynamic queries on existing reports.
* **Metabase:** Open-source tool that uses Data Warehouse data to generate visualizations and analytical responses.
