# What It Is

> Learn about Devic’s built-in tools, their advantages, and how to use them in agents, assistants, or MCPs.

## Overview

**Built-in Tools** are native tools integrated into Devic that allow agents, assistants, and MCPs to perform common tasks without the need to develop external integrations.

These tools cover functions such as:

* **Document, email, and database management.**
* **OCR.**
* **Interaction with external services (SharePoint, web, email, etc.).**
* **Memory and knowledge persistence.**
* **Web browsing.**

***

## Purpose

Built-in Tools aim to **simplify integrations** and provide **ready-to-use capabilities**, enabling you to build intelligent solutions quickly and without technical complexity.

They can be used by:

* **Agents:** to execute automated actions within a conversation.
* **Assistants:** to provide interactive and personalized responses.

***

## Key Features

* **Immediate availability:** integrated into Devic with no additional configuration.
* **Full compatibility:** can be combined within agent or assistant flows.
* **Scalability:** multitenant, robust infrastructure, and connection to external data and processes.
* **Automatic updates:** Devic maintains and updates tools without user intervention.
