Using Agent Skills
* 
This feature is currently available as a beta release.
Agent skills perform calculations and run database queries. You can use them to automate routine tasks, improve efficiency, and ensure consistent and reliable outcomes.
You can use the available AI agent skills by entering a forward slash (/) in the AI Action composer. You can also integrate agent skills into any Service Flow Manager (SFM) transaction that you configure in the AI console. You can configure and install agent skills by specifying their names, types, input parameters, and expected outputs. For more information, see Installing Agent Skills.

Mean Time: Time from date of installed / No. of closed repair Work Orders
These details are taken from the Work Orders linked to the Installed Product.
