Every Student Scenario Handled. Exactly Your Way.
Custom Skills let institutions go further with Bolt Agents. Define exactly how an agent behaves for your unique programs, processes, and student populations. No code required.
Included with Bolt Agents
Every Skill You Build Has Four Parts
Trigger: A plain-language description of the moment the skill applies, such as a student asking what pre-requisites are required to enroll in a certain program.
Actions: Focused instructions for qualifying, routing, escalating, or setting up the next step, written the way you would brief a new staff member.
Tools: The configured actions the agent can take from inside the conversation, inserted with an @ mention so the outcome is explicit rather than improvised.
Availability: Hard channel, schedule, and date-range controls that decide whether a skill is eligible to run at all, set and customized by your team.
Customized To Your Unique Institution
Channel by Channel: Turn a skill on independently for Messenger, SMS, Email, Voice, and WhatsApp, so voice callers and chat visitors can follow different paths.
Schedule in Your Time Zone: Define business and after-hours behavior using your institution's actual calendar.
Date-Bounded Availability: Give seasonal and temporary skills a start and end date, and they retire themselves when the window closes.
Test the Skill Before a Student Ever Sees It
Channel Simulation: Run Messenger, SMS, email, and voice conversations against a draft skill in the Agent Test Console, with no test contacts and no live channel required.
Response Details: See which Custom Skill matched, which ones were skipped and why, and which configured action would have run.
Safe Tool Calls: The console simulates tool behavior rather than executing it, so no records are created and no messages are sent while you adjust the trigger and re-run.
Testing is where a skill stops being an assumption. You watch the matching and non-matching paths, tighten the wording, and publish once the agent behaves the way your institution expects.
