It researches candidates for a sourcing project and drafts personal outreach, gathers interview feedback into a debrief, sets up interview plans for new jobs, checks openings against your headcount plan and answers questions about your hiring data in plain words.

What agents do in Ashby
Prepare outreach for a sourcing project
For the people in a sourcing project it reads their public work and background, writes a line on why each fits the role and drafts a personal first email. The batch waits for your approval.
AskDraft first emails for the 15 people in the Staff Engineer sourcing project, each mentioning something specific they built.
Build the interview debrief
When the last interview's feedback is in, it gathers every submitted form into one page: strengths, concerns, disagreements between interviewers and open questions. The decision is made in your debrief meeting.
AskBuild the debrief for Priya's onsite from the submitted feedback, and list where interviewers disagreed.
Set up a new job's interview plan
From the hiring manager's notes it drafts the interview plan: stages, who interviews, what each stage tests and a feedback form for each. Creating the job and plan in Ashby asks first.

How it connects
- 1You connect Ashby once. An Ashby admin creates the API access and chooses its permissions, for example reading candidates but not offers, so the agent can do only what that access allows.
- 2You decide which agents use Ashby. Your recruiting agent works in it; a research agent can help with sourcing projects by passing its findings to the recruiting agent.
- 3Reading jobs, applications, feedback and reports needs no approval. Sending email, changing an application's stage, creating a job or plan, and any offer step each ask first. Hiring decisions stay with your team.

Questions people ask
Can an AI agent help with sourcing in Ashby?
Yes, with the research and the writing. A Monmo agent reads candidates' public work and background, explains why each might fit, and drafts a personal first email for your approval. It does not send LinkedIn messages or connection requests on its own, and every email batch waits for you.
Can it prepare debriefs from Ashby feedback?
Yes. Once interviewers submit their feedback, the AI agent gathers it into one page with strengths, concerns and where interviewers disagree, quoting each person. It does not add its own view of the candidate. The hiring decision is made by your team in the debrief.
Can it answer questions about our Ashby hiring data?
Yes, about the data the connected access can read. Ask in plain words, such as time in stage by department or offer acceptance by source, and it pulls the figures, checks them and shows the jobs behind each number. It can save the answer as a Google Sheets report or repeat it as a routine.
How is the agent's access to Ashby controlled?
Through the API access an Ashby admin creates, with the permissions you choose, and through which Monmo agents you allow to use it. It works through the Ashby connection, or in its own browser when the connection does not cover something, and you can watch its screen or remove access at any time.
