Build an Agent from Scratch
Build a working, grounded agent from a blank Flow, then test its responses, inspect traces, add evaluations, and compare results in a batch.
Build an Agent from Scratch
This guide builds an agent one component at a time so you can see how inputs, prompts, memory, tools, and outputs fit together. You will start with a blank Flow, use Kata 1.1 - Low for the example model, ground the agent with an Index, and verify its behavior with traces, evaluations, and a batch.
Before you begin
You need a BotDojo project where you can create Flows. The example uses Kata 1.1 - Low, available through the BotDojo model provider. You will also need an Index before the grounding step; you can create one when you reach that page.
Choosing New Agent is the quickest way to generate a starter Flow. This guide uses Start From Scratch so you learn what each node and connection does.
