Quickstart
Deploy your first AI agent in 5 minutes. By the end of this guide, you'll have a working agent that can answer questions about your organization.
Prerequisites
- A Deeployd account (create one)
- Access to the Dashboard
Step 1: Create an Agent
- From the Dashboard, click + Create Agent
- Fill in the basics:
| Field | Value | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Name | "Company FAQ Assistant" | How users will identify this agent |
| Description | "Answers common questions about our company" | Helps you remember what this agent does |
| Model | Claude 3.5 Sonnet | Best balance of speed and capability |
- Click Create
Step 2: Write the System Prompt
The system prompt tells your agent who it is and how to behave. In the agent editor, enter:
You are a helpful FAQ assistant for Acme Corporation.
Your responsibilities:
- Answer common questions about our company
- Provide accurate information from our knowledge base
- Escalate complex questions to human support
Our key information:
- Founded: 2020
- Headquarters: San Francisco, CA
- Employees: 150
- Products: AI-powered workflow automation
Communication style:
- Be friendly and professional
- Keep answers concise (2-3 sentences when possible)
- If you don't know something, say so
Step 3: Add Tools (Optional)
Tools give your agent capabilities beyond conversation. For this quickstart, we'll skip tools, but you could add:
- Memory - Remember facts from conversations
- HTTP Request - Fetch live data from APIs
- Calculator - Perform calculations
Step 4: Test Your Agent
- Click Test in the agent editor
- The chat panel opens on the right
- Try these test messages:
User: What does your company do?
Agent: Acme Corporation provides AI-powered workflow automation
solutions. We help businesses automate repetitive tasks
and improve operational efficiency.
User: How many employees do you have?
Agent: We currently have 150 employees at Acme Corporation.
User: Can I speak to someone about enterprise pricing?
Agent: I'd be happy to connect you with our sales team for
enterprise pricing inquiries. Would you like me to
escalate this request to a human representative?
Step 5: Deploy
Your agent is now ready to use! Here's how to access it:
In the Dashboard
- Go to Agents → Click your agent → Chat
- Use this for testing and internal use
Via API
curl -X POST https://api.deeployd.com/v1/agents/{agent_id}/chat \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"message": "What does your company do?"
}'
Embed in Your App
import { DeepLoyd } from '@deeployd/sdk';
const client = new DeepLoyd({ apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY' });
const response = await client.agents.chat({
agentId: 'your-agent-id',
message: 'What does your company do?'
});
console.log(response.content);
