Sapience’s Built-in Skills – Sapience Cloud

Last Updated: 2026.07.09

Overview

The list of built-ins is growing every week. See https://www.SapienceHQ.com/ai-store for current live list.

Skills are Sapience's superpower: focused capabilities you can switch on to make an agent do something specific and do it really well — build a slide deck, design an interactive dashboard, publish a website, run a team of agents, or simply structure its answer a certain way.

This page is the complete catalogue of the skills built into Sapience, grouped by what they're for, with a one-line summary of what each produces. (For the bigger picture of how skills work — activating them, how the agent picks them up, building your own — see the main Sapience Skills — a Superpower article.)

How to read this list

You activate a skill from the skill picker in the chat, or by naming it. Once active, the agent follows that skill's playbook for your request.

Some skills the agent turns on for you automatically when it senses they'd help.

Where it's useful, we note the artifact each skill produces (a chat reply, an inline chart, a shareable link, a PowerPoint-ready deck, etc.).

Thinking & Planning

Skills that shape how the agent approaches your request — before it produces anything.

Skill	What it does
Brainstorming	Explores intent, requirements, and design before any implementation. When you're starting something new, the agent collaborates on the design first — asking one clarifying question at a time, surfacing tradeoffs, and presenting a plan for your approval — so you don't get polished output built on the wrong assumptions.
Using Plan Mode	For non-trivial, multi-step work. The agent writes a plan up front, then works through it in a deliberate plan → do → check cadence, keeping a visible checklist of what's done vs. still pending so nothing drifts.
Team of Agents	Assembles and runs a team of specialist agents for you — several independent sub-tasks, multiple expert perspectives on one question, or a multi-step pipeline. It grounds the plan in the agents you actually have, decides parallel vs. sequential, and presents a team plan for your approval before running.

Answer Formatting

Lightweight skills that change the shape of the agent's written reply — no special artifact, just a better-structured answer.

Skill	What it does
10-Point Plan	Forces the answer into exactly 10 numbered points under a heading — great for summaries, action plans, key lessons, or pros/cons where a structured overview adds clarity.
Detailed Mode	Produces a long, thorough response (2,000+ words) with an executive summary, headings, bullet points, and a summary table. Ideal for deep dives, research topics, and technical explanations.

Slides & Presentations

Skills that turn your content into presentation decks.

Skill	What it does	Output
Slide Output	Creates professional presentation slides (title, bullets, two-column, quotes, timelines, and more) as clean HTML.	Slides you can view in the chat or export to PowerPoint.
Animated Slide Deck	Builds a visually stunning, auto-advancing, narrated presentation — scene-based, with entrance animations and ambient motion. Great for explainers, sizzle reels, and video-style walkthroughs.	A password-protected shareable website.
Slide Image Generator	Generates professional 16:9 slide images using AI image generation — clean layouts, readable typography, consistent themes.	Slide images, ready to drop into any deck. Installable from the Skill Store.

Documents & Publishing

Skills that produce polished, shareable documents and pages.

Skill	What it does	Output
Report	Creates long, dense, beautifully designed documents — reports, proposals, briefings, prospectuses, white papers, case studies. Editorial on screen (rich typography, cover page, callouts, KPI tiles, charts); degrades cleanly to print/PDF.	A password-protected shareable link.
Printout	Creates print-ready documents (US Letter or A4, portrait or landscape) that print perfectly on paper — memos, letters, one-pagers.	A password-protected shareable web page built to print.
Website	Publishes any content — slides, reports, documents — as a self-contained interactive webpage anyone can open in their browser.	A password-protected public link.
PRD	Interviews you first to close the gaps, then writes a rigorous, strict-schema Product Requirements Document — concrete, testable requirements, never vague adjectives — and publishes it as a report.	A password-protected shareable report link.

Data & Visuals

Skills that turn information into visuals — from a single inline chart to a full interactive dashboard.

Skill	What it does	Output
Data Dashboard	Turns an Excel sheet, CSV, or any tabular data into a polished, interactive dashboard — KPI tiles, charts, filters, drill-downs. The "make my numbers look good" skill.	A password-protected shareable web link.
Charts	Produces interactive Plotly.js charts — bar, line, scatter, pie, heatmap, histogram, dual-axis, waterfall, and 40+ more — with zoom, hover, and pan.	Rendered inline in the chat.
Diagrams	Creates Mermaid diagrams with validated syntax: flowcharts, sequence, class, state, ER diagrams, Gantt charts, pie charts, mind maps, and user journeys.	Rendered inline in the chat.
Infographic	Creates professional infographics — stats summaries, process visuals, side-by-side comparisons, marketing graphics. Default output is crisp, recolorable SVG; a hybrid raster path is available for painterly/photoreal looks.	A designed infographic.
Inline SVG Graphics	Lets the agent drop small inline SVG visuals — icons, callouts, badges, comparison splits, simple flow diagrams, KPI tiles — right into a chat answer when a picture strengthens the point.	Rendered inline in the chat. (Used on-demand by the agent rather than picked from the menu.)
Data Storytelling	Turns your data into a decision-driving narrative — context, tension, the key insight, and a recommendation — front-loading the "so what" and picking the one chart that makes each point (drawing via Charts and Data Dashboard).	A data narrative built on charts & dashboards.

Which visual skill when? Use Diagrams for architecture/flow diagrams, Charts for interactive data visualisations, Inline SVG Graphics for a quick visual inside an answer, Infographic for a full marketing graphic, and Data Dashboard for multi-tile, filterable dashboards.

Research & Analysis

Skills that investigate a topic or a decision and produce a reasoned, evidence-backed answer.

Skill	What it does	Output
Deep Research	Investigates a topic across multiple independent sources, weighs their credibility and recency, and synthesizes a fully cited analysis — honest about consensus, disagreement, and confidence — then renders it as a long report. (Quizzes you first, then confirms the scope before the run.)	A password-protected shareable report link.
Strategy Advisor	Sharp, pragmatic guidance for a business decision — frames the choice, weighs options and trade-offs with proven frameworks (SWOT, Porter's Five Forces, a 2×2 matrix), and lands a clear recommendation with its key risks and assumptions.	A reasoned recommendation in the chat.

Writing & Communication

Skills that draft and refine the words you send.

Skill	What it does	Output
Editor	Edits and proofreads text you already have — clarity, grammar, style, concision — without changing your meaning or voice, and calls out the most important changes it made.	Edited text in the chat (or edits your note/file in place).
Email Drafter	Drafts professional, purpose-fit emails — outreach, follow-ups, replies, declines, intros, announcements — with a strong subject line and one clear ask, matched to the audience.	A ready-to-send email — it can send to your inbox.

Business & Finance

Skills for rigorous financial analysis and valuation.

Skill	What it does	Output
Financial Models	Builds industry-standard valuation models — DCF with WACC and terminal value, sensitivity and scenario tables, optional Monte Carlo — with every assumption stated explicitly, real market data, and formula/reconciliation checks before delivery.	An Excel workbook + a plain-English summary of value drivers and risks.

Behind-the-Scenes Helpers

Some skills you won't see in the picker — they're utility skills the platform uses automatically to raise the quality of other skills' output.

Skill	What it does
Frontend Design	Ensures generated web interfaces are distinctive and production-grade — creative, polished code that avoids generic "AI-looking" aesthetics. It runs automatically as a building block of skills like Website, so anything you publish looks its best.

Summary

Sapience skills range from lightweight answer-shapers (10-Point Plan, Detailed Mode) to heavyweight artifact builders that produce a finished, shareable deliverable — a narrated animated deck, a branded report, an interactive dashboard, a published website, a cited research report, or a financial model. Many of the richer skills wrap their result in a password-protected shareable link so you can hand it to a client or colleague instantly.

Turn one on when you want the agent to specialise — or just describe what you want and let the agent reach for the right skill on its own.
