What Is an Agent?

An agent in Amplifi is a customized AI assistant that can interact with your data using natural language. Each agent can be tailored to a specific task or dataset by selecting the tools and LLM (large language model) it uses.

Agents make it easy to create purpose-built assistants for specific business needs — like answering support queries, interpreting financial documents, or navigating product manuals.

Creating an Agent​

Follow these steps to set up your own agent in Amplifi.

Step 1: Access the Agent Creation Screen​

  1. Navigate to the Agents tab from the left sidebar.
  2. Click the Create New Agent button in the top-right corner.

Step 2: Fill in Agent Details​

  1. Agent Name:
    Enter a name for your agent (max 30 characters).

  2. Agent Description (optional):
    Briefly describe what this agent does (max 150 characters).

  3. Select LLM Provider:
    Choose the language model that will power this agent.
    Available options may include:

    • GPT-3.5 – Fast, basic tasks only. Not for image/audio.
    • GPT-4.1 – General-purpose with stronger reasoning.
    • GPT-4o – Best for text, image, and audio tasks.
    • o3-mini Reasoning – Lightweight, optimized for deep reasoning.

    Select the model that best fits your use case and data type.

  4. Select Tools to Associate:
    Pick one or more tools that the agent will use.
    These tools are created earlier in the Tools tab and define how the agent accesses and interacts with datasets.

  5. Agent Instructions (optional):
    Add system-level instructions that guide the agent’s behavior.

    • Example: Always be polite and concise in responses.

Step 3: Create the Agent​

Once all fields are filled, click Submit to create the agent.
Your new agent will now appear in the Agents list and can immediately be used for search or chat.

Managing Agents​

  • Edit Agent: Update the name, model, tools, or instructions anytime.
  • Delete Agent: Remove agents that are no longer needed.
  • Search Agents: Use the search bar to quickly locate existing agents.

Tips for Creating Effective Agents​

  • Give agents clear names and descriptions to help your team identify them easily.
  • Use tools strategically — associate agents only with the tools they need.
  • Test agents with real queries to fine-tune instructions and improve accuracy.

Your agent is now ready to assist! 🚀
You can start interacting with it from the search or chat interfaces depending on the tool configuration.
