## How it works

Every use case follows the same three-step pattern.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect your data" icon="plug">
    Each use case lists exactly what data sources and knowledge spaces you need. Connect a database, upload files to the lakehouse, or plug in an API.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up the agent" icon="robot">
    Create a [custom agent](/concepts/agents/custom-agents) with the role, goal, and [skills](/concepts/agents/skills) for your use case. Each page gives you the exact configuration to paste in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Automate with playbooks" icon="clock">
    Turn the use case into an automated workflow with a [playbook](/concepts/playbooks/what-is-a-playbook) — scheduled reports, real-time alerts, and multi-step pipelines that run without manual effort.
  </Step>
</Steps>
