Create Your First Agent

This quickstart walks you through creating a simple workflow agent in Kindo. By the end, you will have a working agent that can be run on demand.

Prerequisites

• A Kindo account (SaaS or self-hosted)
• Signed in to the Kindo Terminal (see Getting Started)

Create a Workflow Agent

1. Open the Agents tab — Click Agents in the left sidebar to see your agent library.

2. Click Create an Agent — Select Workflow as the agent type.

3. Name and describe your agent — Give it a clear name (e.g., “Daily CVE Summary”) and a description of what it does.

4. Select a model — Choose a model for the agent to use. General Purpose models work well for most tasks.

5. Add a system prompt — Define the agent’s behavior. For example:

   You are a security analyst. Summarize the top 5 CVEs published today,
   including severity scores, affected software, and recommended mitigations.
   Format as a markdown table.

6. Add steps — Each step is an action the agent performs in sequence. For a simple agent, a single LLM step is sufficient. More complex agents chain multiple steps with different models or tools.

7. Save the agent — Click Save to store it in your agent library.

Run the Agent

1. From the Agents tab, find your new agent and click Run.
2. The agent executes its steps and displays results in the work area.
3. Review the output. You can share results or re-run the agent at any time.

Agent Types

Kindo supports three agent types:

Type	Trigger	Use Case
Chatbot	User message	Knowledge base Q&A, helpdesk
Workflow	Manual run	Runbook execution, report generation
Trigger	External event	Incident response, alert triage

For this quickstart we used a Workflow agent. To learn about all agent types and advanced configuration, see Agents and Creating Agents.
