Agent Builder

Users of AI Toolkit can sign up for access to an Alpha version which includes the AI Toolkit Agent Builder.

The AI Toolkit Agent Builder lets you create, test, and deploy an AI agent. AI Agents use large language models (LLMs) and external tools to perform complex, multi-step tasks such as data analysis.

Note: Participation in this feature preview is completely optional.

Agents you create can analyze data across your technology stack without the need to write any code. You can leverage agents to convert manual, repetitive tasks into consistent and automated tasks that are unique to your organization and workflows.
