Athena enables you to develop personalized AI agents specifically designed to meet your unique requirements. These agents can be customized to manage various tasks, from addressing basic inquiries to providing technical support. This guide will guide you through the steps to create your own agent using Athena.

Step-by-step Instructions

1

Configure your agent

In the Chat sidebar, locate and click on the settings icon on top-right corner. You can configure existing agents or create a new agent.

2

Create a new agent

Click on + Add New Agent and follow the steps below to configure the settings for your new agent.

In this exercise, we will create an Insights Agent.

3

Edit Basic Info

This setting requires you to add a Name, Description and System Prompt for your agent.

Name is the identifier for your assistant. Enter the following in the Name field.

Name

Insights Agent

4

Configure Model Settings

Model is the LLM that will drive your agent. Choose your desired model from the dropdown.

For this case, let’s choose GPT-4o.

5

Add Tools

Tools are the skills with which you equip your Agents. You can add existing Tools within Athena to power your agent with specific skills that come with each tool.

For this case, add the Read Every Page and In-Depth Analysis tools.

Learn more about what the Tools present in Athena do.

6

Update Knowledge Base

Knowledge Base is a repository of information that enables your agent to reference and retrieve data from Athena or from data sources outside Athena. Add assets from your workspace by mentioning them as follows: @your-asset-name or drag and drop files from your local System.

For this case, you need not add any assets to the knowledge base, but for illustration this is how you can add assets from your workspace in your agent’s knowledge base.

Incorporating a Knowledge Base helps an agent respond to queries using proprietary data, reference specific information, and execute tasks with current data from Athena.
