====Algorithms====

An **algorithm** in Agency is the 'brain' of your agent. It defines the rules or the method that you're using to detect an issue.

There are a range of built-in Agency algorithms, and you're also free to create your own using Python.

Some of the pre-made algorithms are...

^Algorithm^Usage^
|[[PropertyPattern]]|Perform simple comparisons of the inputs|
|[[Differential]]|Calculate the difference between two or more inputs|
|[[BadDataDetector]]|Determine if input channels contain bad data|
|[[Window]]|Determine if the input channels are inside or outside bounds|
|[[JobLibAI]]|Run the inputs against a saved AI model|
