# 8x8 Agent Workspace overview for agents

The 8x8 Agent Workspace enables agents to use a graphical user interface (GUI) to manage customer interactions across all channels. 8×8 Agent Workspace is easy to use and requires no special software or hardware to run. It is 100% cloud-based and accessible from anywhere and anytime as long as you have a computer and internet access. With **8x8 Agent Workspace** , agents can have quick access to FAQs, use the **Local CRM** , and see and chat with other agents for coaching and help. **8x8 Contact Center** administrators can take advantage of the permission-based application by allowing agents to access certain functions until they are up-to-speed and ready to take advantage of the full capabilities.

If you are an agent, your contact center supervisor provides you with the information you need to access your 8x8 account, your contact center policies, and guidelines to use that account. For details about our latest **8x8 Contact Center** features, see [What's new for agents](/documentation/docs/what-s-new-for-8x8-contact-center-agents-in-december-2025).
