Create an agent

Agents are built through a guided 3-step wizard in Orchestrate → Agents. Every agent — and every invocation — passes the same policy, approval, audit, and lineage plane.

The Orchestrate → Agents view with the New agent button.

You need at least one AI model registered for your organization. If none exists, the wizard shows: “No AI models registered for this org. Add one in Connect → AI Models before creating an agent.” See Connect a model first.

  1. Go to Orchestrate → Agents. The page header reads “Agents — Build, configure and run your AI workforce.”
  2. Click New agent (top-right). The create wizard opens.

Pick the kind of agent you’re building:

Type Use it for
Conversational Chat-style agents that reason and answer over your context.
Task Goal-driven agents that execute a job end to end.
Voice Voice-driven interactions.
Proxy Fronts an external endpoint as a governed agent.
Interop Federates to an external agent platform over MCP / A2A with a capability-discovery handshake.

Each type shows a short description and bullet points to help you choose.

The agent wizard, step 1 — type selection (Conversational, Task, Voice, Proxy, Interop).

Fill in the agent’s configuration:

Field Notes
Agent name * Required.
Description A short summary of what it is.
What should this agent do? The agent’s instructions / goal.
Model Choose from the registered model registry (see Connect a model).
Attach skills (optional) Wrap connector actions as the agent’s tools (see Connect a connector).

The agent wizard, step 2 — details (name, description, instructions, model, skills).

Review the configuration and click Create agent. On success you land on the agent’s detail page (/orchestrate/agents/{id}), ready to run.

Back on Orchestrate → Agents you can search agents, filter by type (All, Conversational, Task, Voice, Proxy, Interop), switch between grid and table views, toggle an agent Active/Inactive, and duplicate or delete from the menu. Each card shows the type, status (Active / Paused / Draft), model, and run count.
