Using the Agent Catalog

Last updated: March 11, 2026

Overview

The Agent Catalog is a curated library of ready-to-use agents built for immediate use, no setup required. Instead of asking users to build from scratch, Alfa surfaces agent instances that work right away. Each instance is generated from a reusable template and scaled across dimensions like company and sector.

The Catalog replaces the Discover page and Catalog flips this model by offering fewer, higher-quality agents tailored to each persona.

What the Catalog Includes

Each agent in the catalog is built around a reusable template that defines how the agent behaves and what it can access. Templates are deployed as instances scoped to a specific company (for example, AAPL) or sector (for example, Financials).

The catalog offers the following:

  1. Curated agent templates: Reusable blueprints reviewed and refined by Mercor experts and the Solutions Consulting team before shipping.

  2. Instant, ready-to-use instances: No configuration required. The right agents are available when and where users need them.

  3. Consistent outputs across stocks: Because the underlying template stays the same, users get the same structure and quality of output regardless of which ticker they are looking at.

  4. A homepage powered by the Catalog: The homepage pulls directly from the Catalog, making the experience earnings-focused and high-signal. Content is tied to the stocks users care about and stays relevant throughout the quarter.

How to Access the Catalog

  1. Navigate to the Catalog tab in the left sidebar of Alfa.

  2. Browse the available agent types by company or sector.

  3. Elect an agent to run it immediately if not already generated.

No setup or configuration is needed. Agents in the Catalog are ready to use out of the box.

Who This Is For

The Catalog is available to all users and is primarily designed to give new users an immediate, high-quality starting point. Most existing users already have custom-built agents tailored to their workflows, so the Catalog is additive rather than disruptive.
