Quickstart Tutorial

Build your first workflow — a chat agent that can answer questions using the calculator and datetime tools.

1. Create a Workflow

From the dashboard, click New Workflow. Give it a name like "My First Agent" and click create. You'll be taken to the workflow editor.

2. Add a Chat Trigger

The workflow editor has three panels:

  • Left — Node Palette (click to add nodes)
  • Center — Canvas (drag to arrange, click edges to connect)
  • Right — Node Details Panel (configure selected node)

From the Node Palette, click Chat under Triggers. A chat trigger node appears on the canvas.

3. Add an AI Model

Click AI Model under Sub-Components. An AI model node appears. Select it and configure:

  • Credential — Select an LLM provider credential (you'll need to add one first)
  • Model — Choose a model (e.g., gpt-4o, claude-sonnet-4-20250514)

4. Add an Agent

Click Agent under AI. An agent node appears. Select it and configure:

  • System Prompt — e.g., "You are a helpful assistant. Use your tools to answer questions accurately."

5. Connect the Nodes

Draw connections between the nodes:

  1. Chat Trigger → Agent — Drag from the Chat Trigger's right handle to the Agent's left handle
  2. AI Model → Agent — Drag from the AI Model's top diamond handle to the Agent's bottom "model" diamond handle

6. Add Tools

Add a Calculator and Date & Time tool from the palette. Connect each to the Agent's "tools" diamond handle (green).

7. Test It

Click the Chat button in the bottom panel to open the chat interface. Send a message:

"What is 42 * 17? Also, what time is it?"

Watch the nodes light up in real time as the agent processes your request:

  • Chat Trigger → running (blue) → success (green)
  • Agent → running → calls Calculator tool → calls DateTime tool → success

The agent's response appears in the chat panel with the calculated result and current time.
