Quick Start
Create your first AI agent in under 5 minutes.
Prerequisites
Step 1: Open the Builder
Navigate to the Agent Builder to start the configuration wizard.
Step 2: Choose a Domain
Select the domain that best matches your use case:
- Development - Code review, testing, modernization
- Business - Document processing, reports, automation
- Creative - Content creation, copywriting
- Data - Analysis, visualization, ML pipelines
- Knowledge - Research, literature review, citations
Step 3: Pick a Template
Choose a pre-built template for your domain. Templates come with sensible defaults for tools and configuration.
Start with a template
Templates are the fastest way to get started. You can always customize later.
Step 4: Configure SDK
Select your AI provider:
- Claude Agent SDK (recommended) - Claude Sonnet 4.5, Haiku 4.5, or Opus 4.1
- OpenAI SDK - GPT-5.1, GPT-5 mini, GPT-4.1, and more
Step 5: Enable Tools
Tools give your agent capabilities. For a quick start, the template defaults are usually sufficient. You can enable additional tools based on your needs.
Skip MCP for now
The MCP Configuration step is optional. You can skip it for your first agent and add MCP servers later if needed.
Step 6: Set Project Details
Give your agent a name and configure basic project metadata like version and author.
Step 7: Generate & Download
Review your configuration and click Download Project to get a ZIP file with your complete agent.
