Getting Started

The Agent Builder lets you create custom AI agents by combining tools and instructions together. Think of it like assembling a specialist — you define what it knows (instructions), what it can do (tools), and how it behaves (model parameters).

Core Concepts​

An agent is made up of three building blocks:

  • Instructions — Guidelines that shape how the agent responds. These set the tone, rules, and priorities for the agent's behavior.
  • Tools — Defines specific capabilities for your agents. A tool gives your agent the ability to do tasks.
  • Agent — The final composition. An agent combines a model with your chosen tools and instructions into something you can interact with.

The relationship is simple: Instructions + Tools = Agent.

Creating Your First Agent​

  1. Navigate to the Agent Builder from your sidebar.
  2. You will land on the Discover page where you can browse existing agents, tools, and instructions.
  3. Click Create to open the builder.
  4. You will see three tabs at the top: Agents, Tools, and Instructions.

We recommend starting by creating a few instructions and tools first, then combining them into an agent. However, you can create them in any order.

Quick Start​

If you want to jump right in:

  1. Go to the Create page.
  2. Click the New button and select Agent.
  3. Give it a name and description.
  4. Configure the model parameters (or leave the defaults).
  5. Optionally attach any existing tools and instructions.
  6. Click Create.

That's it — you now have a working agent you can test right from the builder.
