Step 1. Set up the AI agent
This page reflects a previous version of Make AI Agents. For the latest information, see Make AI Agent (New).
First, we need to create the AI agent and connect to an AI provider. We can do that in the AI Agents configuration tab.
Navigate to the AI Agents configuration tab in the left sidebar, then click the Create agent button.
Alternatively, you can create a new AI agent in the Make AI Agents > Run an agent module. In the module settings, click the Create agent button.
In Connection, select your AI provider connection.
Users on all plans can select Make's AI Provider. Those on paid plans can also choose a custom AI provider connection, such as OpenAI or Anthropic Claude.
- If you don't have a connection to an AI provider, click Add to open a Create a connection dialog.
- In the Connection type dropdown, select your AI provider.
- If applicable, fill in the rest of the form according to the documentation for creating a connection to the AI provider. Check the list of AI providers.
- Click Save to complete the connection.
In the Agent name field, specify the name of the agent.
In the Model field, select the AI model that the agent will use for reasoning.
In the System prompt field, define the agent's purpose and constraints. For our shop inventory agent, fill in: "You are a stock inventory bot."
Click Save to confirm.
You have created an AI agent for managing your stock inventory. However, your agent doesn't have any tools to do its job. In the next section, we'll create scenarios that function as tools for the agent.
