Create an agent from scratch or from the Marketplace

There are two ways to get a new agent: a blank one you fill in yourself, or a ready-made one from PGB Marketplace.

Create a blank agent

1. Sign in at agents.pgbhub.com with your PGBHub account.
2. On the Agents page, choose New agent. If you have no agents, the button says Create your first agent.
3. Under Blank agent, type a Name, for example "Weekly sales summary". Up to 80 characters.
4. Choose Create agent.

You land on the agent's page. A blank agent starts with a placeholder instruction ("Describe what this agent should do, step by step."), the Smart model, no tools, and a manual trigger only. Nothing useful can run until you write real instructions and choose a tool or two. See Write good instructions.

Start from the Marketplace

1. On New agent, scroll to From the marketplace.
2. Type in the Search agents box and choose Search, or just look through the cards.
3. On a card, choose Use this agent.

The agent is created with the instructions, model, tools, triggers, monthly budget and approval rules that its publisher set. Tools the package names that Agents does not know are dropped. The agent's page shows "From @publisher/name" under the title.

PGB publishes starter agents such as Customer Support Agent, Daily Digest, Invoice Chaser, Lead Qualifier and Meeting Notes Agent. See Starter packages from PGB.

Check before you run. An agent that comes with a schedule starts paused, so you can read it first. Open its page, review the instructions and the tools, then choose Resume (then save) and Save changes when you are happy.

What to do next

1. Read the Instructions and edit anything that does not match your business.
2. Look at the Tools list. Untick anything you do not want it to have.
3. Check the Budget panel.
4. Add your AI key if you have not already. See Bring your own AI key.
5. Try it with Run now.

Good to know

• An account can have up to 50 agents.
• Deleting an agent also deletes its runs and memory. You are asked to confirm.
• A package you installed from Marketplace also shows up under My installs there.
