Agent Builder Interface

Agent Builder — Create custom AI agents with natural language

Builder Steps

Step Purpose What to Configure
1. Basics Name & personality Agent name, avatar, description, communication style
2. Goal Objectives & metrics What the agent should achieve and how to measure success
3. Tools Capabilities Which tools the agent can use (email, ads, analytics, etc.)
4. Triggers Activation When the agent should run (schedule, events, conditions)
5. Logic Decision rules If/then rules for how the agent makes decisions
6. Outputs Events & limits What the agent produces and any rate limits
7. Review Summary Preview all settings before publishing
8. Test Try it out Run the agent in test mode to verify behavior

Pro Tip: Natural Language Creation

Use the "Describe your agent in plain English" box for fastest setup. Example:

"I need an agent that monitors our ad campaigns across Google and Meta. When ROAS drops below 2x, it should pause the campaign and notify our ads team on Slack. It should run every hour during business hours and generate a daily performance summary."

Use Cases & Scenarios

SCENARIO Marketing Agency Managing Multiple Clients

Challenge: Managing campaigns for 20+ clients with limited staff

Solution: Deploy Client Reporter agents for each account that automatically generate weekly performance reports, Campaign Manager agents to optimize ad spend, and Alert Monitors to catch issues before clients notice.

Result: 60% reduction in reporting time, 2x client capacity without new hires

SCENARIO E-commerce Brand Scaling Content

Challenge: Need to create 500+ product descriptions and social posts monthly

Solution: Build a Content Creation Pipeline flow connecting Research → Content → SEO → Social agents. Feed in product data, get optimized content automatically.

Result: Content production increased 10x, consistent brand voice across all channels

SCENARIO B2B Company Qualifying Leads

Challenge: Sales team overwhelmed with unqualified leads

Solution: Create a Lead Router agent that scores incoming leads based on firmographic data, engagement signals, and ICP fit. High-score leads go to sales, others go to nurture sequences.

Result: Sales team focuses on 3x higher quality leads, 40% increase in close rate

SCENARIO SaaS Startup Monitoring Ad Performance

Challenge: Small team can't monitor ad performance around the clock

Solution: Deploy an Alert Monitor agent that watches ROAS, CPA, and spend metrics hourly. When performance drops below thresholds, it automatically pauses underperforming ads and notifies the team.

Result: $15K/month saved in wasted ad spend, issues caught within 1 hour vs. 24 hours


Troubleshooting & FAQ

My agent isn't responding or seems stuck
  1. Check the Agent Status in the Management dashboard—ensure it shows "Running"
  2. Review the Activity Log for any error messages
  3. Verify the agent has the required tools enabled (Tools section in builder)
  4. Check if you've hit any rate limits in the Configuration settings
  5. Try restarting the agent by toggling its status off and on
My API costs are higher than expected
  1. Review the Outputs section of each agent—reduce output limits if set too high
  2. Check Triggers—agents running every minute cost more than hourly runs
  3. Use the Analytics section to identify which agents consume the most tokens
  4. Consider batching operations instead of real-time processing
  5. Set cost alerts in Configuration to get notified before overspending
Agent content doesn't match my brand voice
  1. Go to Agent Settings → Voice & Tone and update your brand guidelines
  2. Provide example content in the agent's Basics section
  3. Use the "Identity & Persona" settings to define personality traits
  4. Review and refine outputs—Darwin learns from your edits over time
  5. Consider creating a dedicated Content Agent with strict style rules
My flow isn't executing properly
  1. Ensure all nodes are properly connected (look for broken links)
  2. Verify the Start node has a valid trigger configured
  3. Check that each agent in the flow has required permissions
  4. Use the Test button to run the flow in debug mode
  5. Check the Orchestrator view for real-time execution status

Pro Tips

  • ✓ Start with templates — Don't build from scratch. Use existing templates and customize them to your needs.
  • ✓ Use natural language — The "Describe your agent" feature saves hours of manual configuration. Be specific about what you want.
  • ✓ Monitor the first week — New agents need tuning. Watch the Activity Log closely and adjust Logic rules based on real behavior.
  • ✓ Set up alerts early — Configure cost and error alerts before you scale. Prevention is cheaper than cleanup.
  • ✓ Use the Orchestrator — For complex multi-agent workflows, the Orchestrator view shows real-time execution and helps debug issues fast.
