Learn how to create your first AI agent

What Is an AI Agent?

Think of an AI agent as a digital assistant that performs tasks on your behalf automatically. Just as you might ask a human assistant to "Check my emails every morning and notify me of anything urgent," you can instruct an AI agent to carry out similar tasks.

Getting Started: The Essentials

Step 1: Setting Up Your Agent

When you access the builder, you’ll see it divided into three key sections:

1. Choose AI Model (the agent’s “brain”)

2. Add Plugins (the agent’s tools)

3. Configure Workflow (the agent’s instructions)

Step 2: Selecting Your AI Model

At the top of the screen, you’ll find various AI models to choose from. Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with the technical details—here’s a quick guide:

• For straightforward tasks like summarizing content or writing basic responses: Select Llama 3.3 (fast and effective).

• For more intricate tasks requiring multiple steps: Opt for DeepSeek V3 or ChatGPT 4o (great for complex instructions).

Step 3: Enhancing Your Agent with Plugins

Plugins give your agent special abilities. For example, you can add features like:

• Twitter integration (to post or read tweets)

• Telegram functionality (to send messages)

• And much more

To install a plugin:

1. Click “Add” in the Plugins section.

2. Select the desired plugin.

3. Hit “Install”.

4. Complete any login steps if the plugin requires account access.

Creating Your First Workflow

What Is a Workflow?

A workflow tells your agent what to do and when.

Setting Up a Recurring Task

For example, if you want your agent to check something every 10 minutes:

1. Select “Run on repeat”.

2. Enter “10” in the minutes field.

3. Choose an AI model.

4. In the Instructions box, specify the task in plain English.

Writing Clear Instructions

Be as detailed as possible, as if explaining to someone who has never done the task. For instance:

• Instead of: “Check crypto price”

• Write: “1. Look up the wallet address [your address]. 2. Check the account balance. 3. Notify me if any coin drops more than 5% in value.”

---

Testing Your Workflow

Before activating your agent:

1. Click “Test Run”.

2. Observe its performance.

3. Refine the instructions if needed.

4. Retest until it works perfectly.

Tips for Success

• Start Simple: Begin with a single task to ensure it works before adding complexity.

• Be Precise: Explain tasks thoroughly, imagining you’re guiding someone unfamiliar with the process.

• Test Frequently: Always test workflows before enabling automatic execution to catch issues early.

---

Troubleshooting

• If the agent isn’t doing what you expect, try providing more detailed instructions.

• If the agent is overcomplicating tasks, break the instructions into smaller steps.

• If it’s unclear, simplify the explanation as if you’re explaining it to a friend.

Final Steps

Once your workflow runs smoothly:

1. Click “Save Changes” to save changes.

2. Click “Publish Agent” to make your agent live.

3. Monitor its performance and make adjustments as needed.

Pro Tip: You can always revisit and refine your workflows. The best way to learn is by experimenting and improving over time.
