Agents have many different properties that control various aspects and behaviours. In this document we will explain each of these properties to help you understand how you can customize your agent.

Agent handle

Agent handles are a globally unique identifier for your agent. This of this like a twitter handle or instagram username. Your agent will be reachable through this handle by visiting https://www.agenthost.ai/chat/{HANDLE}

Agent name

The agent name is the public facing name of your agent. This is what will show up when users load the page when they visit your agent.

Agent description

This basically tells your users what your agent does or you can think of it as it's "tag line".

Agent avatar

This is the icon that represents your agent.

Agent instruction

The agent instructions are the guidelines and instructions the agent will follow as it engages with your users. This is where you will tell your agent how to behave and what it should do. This is generally what differentiates agents from one another.

Generally the basic properties are the most important. To enable more configuration you can also customize your advanced properties.

Links

Links are click-able entries that are visible to your users. Links can be prompts that are sent to your agent and lead to a response or external urls to link to other services or websites.

Allow users to upload files

This setting enables your users to upload files. Once turn on you can further customize this to allow Documents only which only supports pdfs and docxs or Images and documents which allow uploading images as well. Please visit Vision and image querying for more information on vision and image querying.

Require email to use

This requires users to enter their email before they can use the agent.

Use V2 Agent

V2 agents are a new type of agent that is built on our own RAG pipeline. V2 agents are more flexible but generally GPT creators do not need to use them unless you have a special usecase and would like more control.

GPT model

This enables you to select the underlying OpenAI model to power your agent. Free plans only support gpt-3.5-turbo while paid plans support gpt-4. Please note that using gpt-4 uses more message credits. Learn more by reading Messages and limits
