When you connect Float to your agent, you're essentially giving your AI a seat at the planning table. Instead of jumping between tabs to see who's overbooked or who's heading on vacation, you can just ask your agent to handle the heavy lifting. You'll be able to check project timelines, see who's available for a new task, and update allocations in seconds. It turns resource planning from a manual spreadsheet chore into a conversation. By using this through the Vinkius catalog, you get a direct line into your agency's capacity, making it much easier to balance workloads without the usual back-and-forth emails. You can see actual hours worked versus what was planned, helping you spot where projects are slipping before they become a problem. It's about having a clear, real-time picture of your team's bandwidth so you can make better calls on project starts and deadlines. You no longer have to spend your Monday mornings hunting down data. You can just ask who's available, see the project status, and get back to the actual work of running your agency. This means you can finally stop worrying about who is over-leveraged and start focusing on the creative work that actually moves the needle for your clients. ## Tools ### get_person Pull specific details for a single team member.
