Building agents

Agents are autonomous entities that can run tasks, decide, and interact with their environment. In IBM watsonx Orchestrate, agents are a key component of the agentic AI framework, enabling you to create complex, dynamic systems that can adapt and respond to changing conditions.

Automate repetitive tasks, improve decision-making, enhance customer experience, and increase efficiency with the agents that you build. For instance, you can create an agent that automates data entry tasks, such as processing invoices or updating customer information.

The agent builder provides a comprehensive set of features that help you to:

• Design and build agents by using a visual interface.
• Integrate with existing systems.
• Deploy and manage agents.

To access the Agent Builder:

1. From the main menu, navigate to Build > Agent Builder.
2. Navigate to All agents.
3. Select an existing agent or click Create agent + to add a new agent. See Creating agents for more details.

Alternatively, you can click Discover to select any of the prebuilt agents on watsonx Orchestrate.
