Before ToolSmith builds a plugin for you, it helps to know how plugins are put together so you can review its plan. The third video in the Build EmployeeWorks plugins with ToolSmith series walks through a plugin's assets in Tool Studio (connector, HTTP actions, conversational process and the plugin itself), then follows an employee's request through all of them.

EmployeeWorks assistants can use Enterprise Search, MCP servers and plugins as tools. The second video in the Build EmployeeWorks plugins with ToolSmith series explains how tools and the agentic loop let a language model act, then when to reach for each option: Enterprise Search for company knowledge, MCP servers for an open standard set of tools, and plugins for tasks that have to run the same way every time.

An AI assistant is only as useful as the tools you give it. The first video in the Build EmployeeWorks plugins with ToolSmith series covers the groundwork: the problem employees face moving between systems to get something done, and how EmployeeWorks gives them one place to search company knowledge and take action across the systems they already use.

Employees shouldn't need to know which system handles their request, jump between portals, or learn how every application works to get something done. This series introduces EmployeeWorks and shows how to plan, build, review, and test well-governed plugins with ToolSmith.

One model reviewing its own plan tends to agree with itself. So I built a cleanup workflow shaped like a jury: separate critics from a deliberate mix of model families weigh the evidence, with a simple forcing function that keeps neighbouring reviewers off the same family. The orchestrator presides as judge, refuting rather than merging, votes promote shared findings, and a post-approval diff check can overrule a verdict that was unanimous and still wrong.
