What are Hostinger AI Agent Skills?<\/h2>

Skills are structured, guided tasks built into each Hostinger AI agent. They are the most efficient way to get a specific result without having to determine the correct prompt yourself. When you select a skill, the agent takes the lead by breaking the task into steps and asking you the necessary questions in a logical order.<\/p>

For example, selecting Keyword Research<\/strong> with Scout<\/strong> will prompt you for details about your business, your target audience, and the topics you care about, then deliver a prioritized keyword list. You do not need to know SEO methodology to get a useful output.<\/p>

Differences between Skills and Chat<\/h2>

Skills and chat are two ways of working with the same agent within the same conversation:<\/span><\/p>

    \n
  • Skills<\/strong>: Ideal when you have a specific goal, e.g. “I need a privacy policy,” “I want to find keywords,” or “I need a cold outreach sequence.”<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Chat<\/strong>: Better when you want to brainstorm, ask general questions, explore an idea, or perform a task that does not fit into an existing skill.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>

    You can start with a skill and continue chatting afterward to refine the output.<\/p>

    How to use a Hostinger AI Skill<\/h2>

    You can initiate skills using two methods: <\/span><\/span><\/p>

      \n
    • From the Skills Menu: Open an agent conversation and select the Skills menu. Choose your desired skill to start the guided flow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>

      \"\"<\/p>

        \n
      • From chat using the slash command: Type <\/span>\/<\/code><\/span><\/code> in the chat input field to get a list of the available skills for the active agent. <\/span><\/span>Select a skill from the list to start it inline during your conversation. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>

        \"\"<\/h2>

        Do skills cost more Agent credits?<\/h2>

        No. Skills and chat both use Hostinger AI Agent credits the same way, based on message length and complexity. There is no premium for using a skill.<\/p>

        \n<\/p>

        Tips for better skill results<\/h2>
          \n
        • Provide specific answers when prompted by a skill. For example, if a skill asks about your target audience, if your answer is “everyone,” the output will be generic.<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Review the skills menu descriptions to determine which tool best fits your current project. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
        • If you want to refine the idea before selecting a skill, you can start chatting and later switch to a skill once you have a specific task in mind.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>
