# Guides

> Step-by-step walkthroughs for common tasks in BOW.

Each guide walks through one task from start to finish, with example prompts and screenshots from a real run, most of them on the Music Store demo agent.

* [Train an agent](https://docs.bow.ai/agents/train-an-agent.md): teach an agent your data and business rules, then review every change before it goes live.
* [Tips for training an agent](https://docs.bow.ai/guides/training-tips.md): what to teach, how to word rules, where each rule belongs, and how to keep them working.
* [Create a demo dataset](https://docs.bow.ai/guides/demo-dataset.md): ask for realistic mock data for any domain, review the schema and suggested agents, and get a connection with agents on top.
* [Root cause analysis across observability tools](https://docs.bow.ai/guides/root-cause-analysis.md): one agent that searches Elasticsearch, Prometheus, Kubernetes and Splunk from an alert, with a shared playbook.
* [Root cause analysis with sub-agents](https://docs.bow.ai/guides/root-cause-analysis-sub-agents.md): ask why a metric dropped and watch the agent test each candidate cause with a sub-agent, then name the cause and rule out the rest.
* [Build a dashboard with parameterized queries](https://docs.bow.ai/guides/parameterized-dashboard.md): ask for a dashboard with filters, add more filters in chat, and reuse the queries behind them.
* [Build a dashboard with state and saved data](https://docs.bow.ai/guides/stateful-dashboard.md): build a dashboard that keeps what people add, such as reviews and ratings, and shares it with everyone who opens it.
* [Create a scheduled task for recurring analysis](https://docs.bow.ai/guides/scheduled-tasks.md): run a prompt on a schedule, so a monthly digest or weekly check is ready without anyone asking.
* [Run an automated analysis from an external trigger](https://docs.bow.ai/guides/external-triggers.md): give an alerting tool or script a URL; each event starts an investigation.
* [Test an agent with evals](https://docs.bow.ai/guides/evals.md): write test questions with expected answers and see why each one passed or failed.
* [Analyze your agents' usage in chat](https://docs.bow.ai/guides/usage-analysis.md): ask about runs, failures, feedback and cost, and get charts and instruction fixes back.
* [Use saved queries for faster, more reliable answers](https://docs.bow.ai/guides/saved-queries.md): save a reviewed query once, and the agent reuses it instead of writing new SQL.
* [Route questions to the right agent](https://docs.bow.ai/guides/agent-routing.md): use one instruction and clear agent descriptions so each question reaches the right agent.
* [Analyze documents with Lists](https://docs.bow.ai/guides/lists-documents.md): turn a folder of contracts into a typed table with a source quote for every value.
* [Use BOW from Claude or another MCP client](https://docs.bow.ai/guides/mcp-clients.md): connect Claude Code, Cursor or Claude on the web and ask about your data from your assistant.
* [Git workflow](https://docs.bow.ai/guides/git.md): manage instructions as code with Git and CI/CD.
* [Embed a chatbot in your ERP or portal](https://docs.bow.ai/guides/embed-chatbot.md): build a branded assistant in BOW, configure identity and agent access, and add a floating widget to your application.
* [Embed BOW Chat with the API](https://docs.bow.ai/guides/embed.md): build a custom report and chat experience with OAuth and the Completion API.
