Introduction

Generate with AI

Generate with AI lets you create an agent just by describing it. Write what you want in plain language, such as what the agent should do, what it needs from the user and what it should return, and Studio builds the workflow for you.

Best for

• Getting a first version of an agent quickly.
• Users who know what they want the agent to do but not how to structure the workflow.
• Beginners who are new to visual workflow building.

How to use it

1. 1

   Click the prompt field on the dashboard.

2. 2

   Describe the agent: its purpose, what the user provides, what it should do and what it should return.

3. 3

   Click Generate.

Example prompt

Create an agent that accepts a city name, retrieves the current weather, and provides a concise weather summary.

New agent

New agent lets you create an agent by filling in a form instead of building a workflow. Unlike Generate with AI, you decide which model the agent uses and which features it has.

Start by telling the agent how to behave: give it a role, a goal and instructions. Then choose what the agent works with:

Model

The AI model that powers the agent.

Mode

Choose Simple for one direct answer per prompt, or Agent when you want the agent to use tools and knowledge.

Output Format

How the agent formats its responses.

Knowledge

Reference material, such as documents, that the agent can draw on when it answers.

Tools

Capabilities the agent can use, such as searching for information.

Skills

Reusable instructions that extend what the agent can do.

Automation

Run the agent on a schedule, or start it with a trigger.

Finally, turn on any optional features:

Memory

Lets the agent remember context across turns of a conversation.

Responsible AI

Adds safety checks, PII masking and groundedness checks.

Best for

• Getting an agent running with a clear, guided setup.
• Users who want to choose the model and features themselves.
• Agents defined mainly by good instructions, a model and reference material.

How to use it

1. 1

   On the dashboard, select New agent.

2. 2

   Enter a role, a goal and instructions that describe how the agent should behave.

3. 3

   Choose the model and mode, then add any knowledge, tools, skills or automation you need.

4. 4

   Turn on optional features such as Memory or Responsible AI.

5. 5

   Click Create.

Example setup

Role

Customer Support Agent

Goal

Answer customer questions about our product accurately and politely.

Instructions

You are a helpful support agent. Answer questions politely using the FAQ knowledge base, and escalate anything you're unsure about.

Blank canvas

Start from an empty workflow and build it your way. On a blank canvas nothing is added for you, so you decide each step and how the steps connect.

Best for

• Users who want full control over the agent's logic.
• Workflows with a specific structure that a form would not capture.
• Learning how workflows are put together.

How to use it

1. 1

   On the dashboard, find Start something new.

2. 2

   Select Blank canvas.

3. 3

   Build your workflow on the canvas.

Templates

Templates are ready-made workflows for common tasks. Each template shows its name, a short description, a category tag such as Support, and how many blocks it contains. Start from a template when one is close to what you need, then adapt it.

Best for

• Getting a working workflow for a common task without building it from scratch.
• Seeing how an example workflow is put together before you build your own.

How to use it

1. 1

   On the dashboard, scroll through the templates in Start something new, or select Browse all templates to see the full list. You can also open Templates from the left menu.

2. 2

   Select a template. Studio creates a new workflow from it.

3. 3

   Open the workflow on the canvas and change the blocks to fit your task.

Import agent

Import agent lets you bring in an agent that someone has shared with you as an .agent.json file.

Best for

• Reusing an agent a colleague built.
• Moving an agent from one Studio workspace to another.

How to use it

1. 1

   On the dashboard, find Start something new.

2. 2

   On the Import agent card, select Choose file.

3. 3

   Select the .agent.json file on your computer.

4. 4

   Studio adds the agent to your workspace. Open it to review its settings and credentials before you deploy it.
