Introduction

We've made it even simpler to create your own custom AI agents with our new Agent Creator feature. Think of it as having a helpful assistant by your side—all you need to do is describe your idea or the issue you want to solve, and watch as it instantly transforms your description into a professional-grade AI agent, complete with suitable settings, integrations, and instructions to get the job done.

Step-by-step creation process

Step 1: Create agent

Navigate to the main interface, click "Create" and select "Create Agent" from the dropdown menu. 

Step 2: Describe your agent's purpose

On the right-hand side of your screen, you will see the Agent Creator automatically pop up. Provide a clear, specific description of what you want your agent to accomplish. Include:

  • The core task or function
  • Any preferred frameworks or methodologies
  • Target platforms or delivery channels
  • Expected outputs or outcomes

Example:
“Please help me design a Content Multiplier agent that can turn 1 piece of content into 12 pieces of content using the "Growth, Authority, Lead Gen" framework. Each post will use a specific angle and hook to target a different facet of the audience's journey. The posts will be delivered solely via LinkedIn”

Step 3: Monitor automated generation

Submit your request and observe the real-time creation process. The system will:

  • Generate an appropriate agent name
  • Create detailed operational instructions
  • Configure advanced settings (model type, temperature controls)
  • Identify and add necessary integrations
  • Write introductory documentation

Step 4: Review generated components

Examine the automatically created elements:

  • Agent name: Reflects the core function and purpose
  • Instructions: Detailed operational guidelines tailored to your requirements
  • Advanced settings: Optimized for your specific use case
  • Integrations: Relevant platform connections (e.g., LinkedIn for social posting)
  • Documentation: Clear explanation of capabilities and usage

Step 5: Finalize and deploy

Click "Create Agent" to complete the process. Select the appropriate workspace for proper organization and team access.

Best practices for success

  1. Be specific in your descriptions: More detail leads to better-tailored agents
  2. Mention platforms explicitly: This triggers automatic integration selection
  3. Include preferred methodologies: The system will incorporate your established frameworks
  4. Choose workspaces thoughtfully: Ensure proper access and organization

Conclusion

The Agent Creator represents a paradigm shift in AI development, transforming what was once a technical specialty into an accessible business tool. By reducing agent creation from hours or days to under a minute, while maintaining professional-grade quality, this feature democratizes AI automation across organizations.

The true value lies not just in the speed of creation, but in removing the technical barriers that previously prevented non-technical users from leveraging AI automation. This accessibility breakthrough enables rapid experimentation, immediate problem-solving, and widespread adoption of AI-powered workflows throughout any organization.
