Build Your First AI Agent Guide

Phase 1Create your agent

Describe Your Goal

Tell Kindgi what you want to automate. Describe the end-to-end workflow in your instructions — mention the trigger, the tools involved, the steps to perform, and what the output should look like.

Prompt

Data sourceI want an agent that checks a Google Sheet for candidate entries Filterwith interview status pending, Actionautomatically picks the next available slot on my Google Calendar Resultand creates an invite for each candidate

What triggers the workflow

A schedule, a new row, or a manual run

Which tools to connect

Google Sheets, Calendar, Gmail, Slack, etc.

Steps to perform

Filter, lookup, create, send — in order

Expected output

An email sent, a row updated, a message posted

You can refine your agent anytime in the Studio. Just get the core idea down and Kindgi handles the rest.

Create Agent page with a workflow description typed in and Create Agent button — Describe your automation goal in plain English

Kindgi Builds Your Agent

Kindgi takes your description, breaks it into steps, figures out which apps are needed, and sets everything up — all automatically. When all checklist items show green checkmarks, click Open in Studio.

Enter the Agent Studio

The Build tab is your command center. It shows every step your agent will go through, which apps each step uses, and whether they're connected. Each step in your workflow performs a task — fetching data, sending an email, updating a sheet. Use the input bar at the bottom to add, remove, or reorder steps in plain English.

Phase 2Customize the workflow

Connect Your Apps

Steps that need an app you haven't connected yet show an orange Connect badge. Click each badge to sign in, grant permissions, and select your account. Once all badges turn green, you're ready to test. Follow the Setting Up Connections guide for the full walkthrough.

You only connect once — all future agents reuse the same link. Each step can use a different account if needed.

Phase 3Deploy and automate

Track Versions

Every change creates a new version. Open Versions in the Studio header to browse your full history, compare changes, or switch back to an earlier version at any time.

Mark as Live

Set any version as the active production version

Restore

Roll back to a previous version instantly

Use Latest

Switch to the most recent version

Compare

See what changed between versions

Safe to experiment — Restore always creates a new entry, never overwrites history.

Go Live

Head back to your agent page — it shows the current version, run history, and status. Click Run to start processing your real data. A dialog lets you enter your inputs before kicking off.
