AI Engineer Agent Beta

Beta Release

AI Engineer Agent is currently in beta. Improvements and new capabilities will continue to be added quickly with each new release.

On this page you will learn how to create and manage AI Engineer Agents in the Kelvin UI.

An AI Engineer Agent is a digital assistant that works alongside or on behalf of the Operator. It watches for specific scenarios, interprets operational situations, and can act within limits the Operator defines. For a full conceptual overview, see AI Engineer Agents.

All agents

The AI Engineer Agents screen gives you a view of every agent that has been created.

Each agent is displayed as a card showing its name, description, status, and the number of assets it is responsible for.

New agent

To add a new agent, click New Agent button.

Note

New agents are visible and available to all users on the Platform.

Run history is private: only the user who initiated a run can see its data.

You will then see a popup where you can describe what you want the agent to do in plain language, or select a template to start from a pre-built structure.

Note

If you prefer to configure everything yourself, click Create Blank.

Whether you submit a prompt or click Create Blank, you are taken to the new agent setup page.

The page is divided into two sides:

  • Left: a conversation with the AI to create your new AI Engineer Agent. Describe what you want the agent to do and continue the discussion to fine-tune its configuration.
  • Right: the complete setup of the agent. You can edit any field directly at any time o ruse the conversation side to update the fields.
