# Discover and manage personal agents

When AI discovery is enabled in **Settings**, the Endpoint Controller automatically discovers personal agents across the desktops in which it's deployed. AI discovery finds personal agents operating in your environment so you can see and govern them.

  * `Edge`

  * `Firefox`

  * `Safari`
