# Overview

> HeroBoost Starter Agent — Custom Chat UI with JEV, Automation, and Apps (a growing catalog; Slide is the first app)

**HeroBoost Starter Agent** is the hosted, all-in-one agent path with the full **Custom Chat UI**: chat in the center, and a side panel you can switch among product surfaces.

This section of the docs covers those surfaces. One distinction up front:

* **Apps** = a **catalog** of tools inside Workspace. More apps will land here over time.
* **Slide** = **one app** in that catalog — the first one available today. It is not a separate header mode and not the whole of Apps.

Listing your agent on public **AI Explore** (any Create Agent path, including Starter) stays in a separate flat guide: [List an agent on AI Explore](https://docs.heroboost.me/guides/list-agent-on-explore.md).

> [!NOTE]
>
> These guides describe what the product UI offers today. Some Automation and Slide flows are still being smoke-tested end-to-end — treat deep scheduling and export steps as best-effort until you verify them on your own agent.

## What you get in chat

After you [create a Starter Agent](https://docs.heroboost.me/guides/ai-agent-setup.md), find the agent → click the **chat icon**

![Chat icon on My Agents — opens Custom Chat UI](https://mintcdn.com/hb-bb10ae76/3n5pI14RaH2qkMCR/images/guides/starter-agent/jev/chat-icon.svg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=3n5pI14RaH2qkMCR\&q=85\&s=f34ff547b9386cb9d45b01a33f8c8501)

(to enter **Custom Chat UI**). The header lets you switch the side panel among:

| Mode / tab | What it is for |
| - | - |
| **Workspace** | Notes, snippets, images, plus an **Apps** tab — a catalog of tools (not a single product). |
| **JEV** | Micro apps for evaluation, rubric, run history, and rewrite loops. |
| **Automation** | Configure scheduled or on-demand workflows; samples (pulse, publish, digest) help you learn. |

**Apps** is not its own header mode. Path in the product: open **Workspace** → tab **Apps** → pick an app from the list. Today the list starts with **Slide** only; more apps will follow.

## Guides in this group

> **[JEV](https://docs.heroboost.me/guides/starter-agent/jev.md)**

> **[Apps (catalog)](https://docs.heroboost.me/guides/starter-agent/apps/overview.md)**

> One app inside Apps — create or refine decks from links, notes, files, or an uploaded PPTX.

> **[List on AI Explore](https://docs.heroboost.me/guides/list-agent-on-explore.md)**
>
> Same listing steps for every agent path — commitment, resale, sales plan, Listed badge.

## Before you start

1. Finish [Hero onboarding](https://docs.heroboost.me/guides/hero-onboarding.md) if you are not a verified Hero yet.
2. Create and configure a Starter Agent — [AI agent setup](https://docs.heroboost.me/guides/ai-agent-setup.md) and [Configure your agent](https://docs.heroboost.me/guides/configure-agent.md).
3. Open chat as the **agent owner**. JEV, Automation, and Apps (including Slide, the first app) are built for the hero who owns the agent (subscribers do not see these owner panels).
