Creating an Agent

Create a new AI agent in Neural Factory. You’ll need an Admin role.

Step-by-step

1

Open the Agents page

Navigate to Agents in the sidebar. You’ll see a list of all agents in your organization.
2

Click Create Agent

Click the Create Agent button in the top right. This opens the agent configuration form.
3

Set basic information

Fill in the required fields:
  • Name — A clear, descriptive name (e.g., “HR Policy Assistant”, “Engineering Docs Bot”)
  • Description — A brief summary of what the agent does, shown to users in the agent picker
4

Write the system prompt

The system prompt is the most important configuration. It tells the agent who it is, how to behave, and what to do. Write clear instructions covering:
  • The agent’s role and expertise area
  • Tone and communication style
  • What the agent should and shouldn’t do
  • How to handle questions outside its scope
Example:
You are the HR Policy Assistant for Acme Corp. Your job is to help 
employees find answers about company policies, benefits, and procedures.

Always cite the specific policy document when answering. If you don't 
find relevant information in the knowledge base, say so clearly rather 
than guessing. Be professional but friendly.
5

Select a model

Choose the AI model that powers the agent. Different models have different capabilities:
  • GPT-4o / GPT-4.1 — Strong general-purpose models, good balance of quality and speed
  • o-series — Advanced reasoning models for complex analytical tasks
  • Claude — Alternative models with different strengths
Your administrator may have specific models available based on your organization’s configuration.
6

Connect knowledge bases

Select one or more knowledge bases for the agent to search. The agent will retrieve relevant documents from these knowledge bases when answering questions.
7

Enable tools

Choose which tools the agent can use:
  • Knowledge search — Search connected knowledge bases (enabled by default)
  • Web search — Search the internet for current information
  • Code execution — Run code in a sandboxed environment
  • External integrations — Connect to Jira, Confluence, Outlook, etc.
See Built-in Tools for details on each tool.
8

Save the agent

Click Save to create the agent. It will immediately appear in the agent list and be available for users to chat with (subject to access control settings).
