Create Your Own 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.

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.

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

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

For this case, let’s choose GPT-4o.

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.

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.

You can also reference assets in the Knowledge Base by Tags.

Agent collaboration enables agents to delegate tasks to specialized sub-agents, process and integrate responses from multiple agents, and coordinate complex workflows across teams. Additionally, agents are capable of sharing context, maintaining conversation history, and learning from interactions with other agents.

You can also choose if your agent should be available as a sub-agent to other agents by toggling the Available as Subagent button.

For this example, select the Document Writer as a sub-agent.

Click on Save Changes. Choose the agent you just created from the Agents dropdown on the top-left of the Chat sidebar. Enter the following prompt and press Enter.
