# Plane Agent does more and is even easier to use

> Plane Agent can now take more actions on your behalf: add team members, record compensation, decide on time-off requests and expense reports, and more. We've also made it easier to search and navigate, and the Agent is more knowledgeable about Plane itself.

## Do more with Plane Agent

An admin chooses which of these Plane Agent can do. Once allowed, ask it to:

* **Add team members:** create the record and send the invitation.
* **Record compensation:** a new salary, a bonus, or another one-time earning.
* **Decide on time-off requests:** approve or decline, with a reason.
* **Decide on expense reports:** approve, reject, or mark as paid outside Plane.
* **Decide on payroll items:** approve, cancel approval, skip, or unskip.
* **Decide on contractor payment requests:** approve or decline. Approval does not pay; the payment follows as it always has.
* **Create workforce plans and calculations.**
* **Terminate an employee or contractor:** the agent first tells you what applies, such as a notice period, an active contract, or an upcoming payroll, and goes ahead once you confirm. Employer of record terminations stay with Plane.

## Easier to work with

* **It moves with you:** the conversation stays open as you navigate around Plane. Minimize it to the toolbar and pick it up where you left off.
* **It knows the record you are on:** open a record, such as an employee, and that record is added as context. Ask "when was her last raise?" without naming the employee.
* **Your earlier conversations are easier to find:** quickly see your most recent, or search your history.
* **Plane Agent knows more about itself:** ask how something works or where a setting lives, and it answers from Plane's documentation with links to the pages it used.
* **Follow-ups take one click:** the agent now offers the obvious next question as a button under its answer.

## Other improvements

* **Reports have been rebuilt:** People, payroll, payments, time entries and almost every other report now share one design. Search inside a report, filter a column to a value or a date range, group by up to two columns, choose which columns you see, and download the result as CSV, Excel or PDF. Save any of it as a view, which keeps your filters, sorting, columns and grouping, and belongs to you rather than the workspace.
* **Deductions for contractors:** add a one-time or recurring deduction from a contractor's *Payments* tab, as a fixed amount or a percentage of earnings. Plane withholds it from their next scheduled payment and shows it on their earnings statement. Available for contractors on a pay schedule.

## For builders and developers

We have extended Plane's other surfaces alongside the agent.

* **Offers:** create one from a template or from scratch, update it, send and resend it, extend its expiry, or void it. Available through the CLI, MCP, and Plane Agent.
* **Contractor payment request decisions:** approve or decline a pending request, recorded against the member who asked. Available through MCP and Plane Agent.
* **Payroll enrollment facts:** list each team member's payroll enrollment, whether they are eligible, and what is still outstanding. Available through MCP and Plane Agent.
