Create an agent¶
Create a dedicated agent when a type of work needs lasting responsibilities, output requirements, and resource boundaries. The Create agent entry uses a conversation to generate its configuration.
1. Describe the business purpose¶
Open Agents and select Create agent. In the dedicated creation conversation, describe who the assistant serves, its inputs, processing steps, expected output, and boundaries.
For example:
Create a product terminology assistant. Its input is the product documentation I provide. Extract terms, explanations, and source evidence, remove duplicates, and produce a three-column table. Mark unsupported explanations as needing confirmation. Name it “Product terminology assistant.”
2. Review the draft¶
Read the proposed name, description, and system prompt. Clarify unclear responsibilities with a follow-up, such as “Do not include ordinary words in the glossary.” Bind knowledge bases and skills after creation if the assistant needs lasting reference material or reusable procedures.
3. Confirm the candidate card¶
When a candidate configuration card appears, expand its system prompt and use the card’s editing controls to correct it. Select Confirm agent creation after reviewing the configuration. Cancel the candidate if you do not want to use it.
A conversational statement that the agent was created does not replace this confirmation. Check for the ready state, the card’s Go to chat entry, and the actual object in My agents.
4. Check resources and test¶
Open the new agent’s details and inspect the prompt, skills, tools, and knowledge bases. The workspace may supply default capabilities; an empty resource list in the draft does not prove the created assistant has no default skills or tools.
Select Use or Go to chat and provide a small sample you can verify manually. Check that its output meets your requirements. Continue with Bind skills, tools, and knowledge bases to add business capabilities.
