Creating Your First Agent
Step-by-step guide to creating and configuring your first AI agent.
Prerequisites
- An Agent Rush account (free tier works)
- Basic information about your business
- 10 minutes of your time
Step 1: Access the Dashboard
Log in to your Agent Rush account and navigate to the Agents section from the sidebar. Click the "New Agent" button to start the creation wizard.
Step 2: Basic Information
Configure the basic details for your agent:
Agent Name
A friendly name for your agent. Examples: "Support Assistant", "Sales Bot", "Help Desk"
Description
Internal description of what this agent does (not shown to customers)
Welcome Message
The first message customers see. Example: "Hi! I'm here to help. What can I assist you with today?"
Step 3: Personality Settings
Define how your agent communicates:
Tone
- • Professional
- • Friendly
- • Casual
- • Formal
Language
- • Primary language
- • Auto-detect option
- • Multi-language support
Tip: Match your agent's tone to your brand voice. If your website is casual and fun, your agent should be too.
Step 4: Add Knowledge
Your agent needs information to answer questions. Add knowledge from these sources:
Quick Start: FAQ Input
Paste your frequently asked questions and answers:
Q: What are your business hours?
A: We're open Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM IST.
Q: How do I track my order?
A: You can track your order using the tracking link sent to your email, or provide your order number and I'll look it up for you.
Document Upload
Upload PDFs, Word docs, or text files containing product information, policies, or help content.
Website Import
Enter your help center or FAQ page URL - we'll automatically extract the content.
Step 5: Test Your Agent
Before going live, use the built-in test console to have a conversation with your agent:
Step 6: Activate
Once you're happy with the test results, click "Activate Agent" to make it live. You can then connect it to your preferred channels (WhatsApp, website widget, etc.).
Congratulations! Your first agent is ready to help customers.
