Using the Agent Studio

The Agent Studio is where you build, refine, and manage your agents. This guide walks you through the Build tab layout, the different ways to visualize your workflow, and how to track and manage versions.

The Build Tab Overview

The Build tab is your main workspace. At the top you'll see a toolbar with a Connections counter (e.g. 2/3), a Versions selector, and production status indicators. Below that is your step list — every step numbered and ordered, with badges showing connection status, iteration, and conditions. If your agent has a schedule, a schedule card appears above the steps. At the very bottom, the input bar lets you make changes in plain English.

Step list
Every step in your workflow, numbered and ordered — parallel steps get sub-numbers like 2.1, 2.2
Toolbar
Connections counter, version selector, production controls, and context cache — all in one row
Schedule card
Shows your agent's schedule in plain English — click the pencil icon to edit it via the input bar
Input bar
Type changes in plain English — add steps, modify logic, or update the schedule. A "Writing tips" link opens the prompt-writing guide

Each step in your workflow performs a task — fetching data, sending an email, updating a sheet. The input bar is how you add, remove, and modify these steps.

Editing Steps

Click the pencil icon on any step to select it for editing — the card highlights with a blue ring and the input bar placeholder changes to "Update [action]...". Type your change and press Enter. When no step is selected, the placeholder reads "Describe a change..." and changes apply to the whole workflow. Press Esc or click the X badge to deselect.

Select a step
Click the pencil icon on any step card — it highlights with a blue ring
Describe the change
Type what you want changed — e.g. "add error handling" or "send to multiple recipients"
Press Enter
Kindgi updates that specific step based on your instruction
Deselect
Press Esc or click the X badge to clear your selection and return to full-workflow mode

Selecting a step before typing your instruction keeps the context focused — Kindgi applies the change to that exact step instead of guessing which one you mean.

View Modes

The workflow header has toggles that control how your steps are displayed. Tree switches from the default list view to an interactive dependency graph powered by Excalidraw — zoom, pan, and enter fullscreen to see how steps connect and which ones run in parallel. Iterations reveals Repeats badges on looping steps. Data Flow lets you click any step to highlight its upstream and downstream dependencies.

Tree
Visual dependency graph — zoom, pan, and fullscreen to see how steps connect and which run in parallel
Iterations
Show Repeats badges on steps that loop over a list of items
Data Flow
Click a step to highlight upstream inputs and downstream consumers in blue
Warnings
Appears when issues are detected — surfaces missing connections or misconfigured parameters
Tree view — see how steps connect and which run in parallel
04

Data Flow

Toggle Data Flow in the workflow header to visualize dependencies between steps. Click any step to highlight its data path — upstream steps that feed data into it and downstream steps that consume its output are highlighted in blue. All other steps dim to 30% opacity. This helps you trace how data moves through your workflow before making changes.

Toggle Data Flow
Click the Data Flow button with the merge icon in the workflow section header
Click a step
Its dependencies and dependents highlight in blue — all other steps dim
Upstream
Steps with a blue ring that provide data to the selected step
Downstream
Steps with a blue ring that consume data from the selected step

Data Flow mode is read-only — clicking a step highlights its path instead of opening it for editing. Toggle it off to return to normal editing mode.

Iterations & Conditions

Toggle Iterations in the workflow header to see which steps loop. Steps that repeat for each item in a list show a Repeats badge (e.g. "for each row"). Steps that only run when a condition is met show a Conditional badge. Expanding a step in Detailed mode reveals the full condition text (e.g. "Only runs if: status is Active") and iteration details (e.g. "For each lead from Step 2").

Repeats badge
This step runs once for each item — e.g. for each row, for each lead. Toggle Iterations to see these
Conditional badge
This step only runs if a condition is met — expand the step to see the full condition text
Iteration details
Expand a repeating step to see what it iterates over — e.g. "For each lead from Find matching leads"
Condition details
Expand a conditional step to see the rule — e.g. "Only runs if: status is Active"
Toggle Iterations to see which steps loop
Phase 3Track, compare, and manage changes

Version History

Every change you make in the Build tab creates a new version. Click the Versions button (clock icon) in the toolbar to browse your full history. Each version shows its number, a relative timestamp (e.g. "5m ago"), the number of tasks, and badges for latest (green) and live (blue with rocket icon). Restored versions show an amber from vN badge. Select any version to view it read-only, or compare it side-by-side with the latest.

Browse
See every version with timestamps, task counts, and status badges (latest, live, restored)
Compare
View a side-by-side diff showing added, removed, and modified steps between any version and the latest
Restore
Roll back to a previous version — this creates a new version, so nothing is lost
Read-only mode
When viewing an older version, a yellow banner shows "Viewing vN (read-only)" with options to compare or restore

Restoring always creates a new version entry — your history is never overwritten. Safe to experiment.

Production Pinning

By default, your agent always uses the latest version. To keep production runs stable while you iterate, click Mark as Live in the toolbar to pin the current version. A blue Currently Live indicator with a rocket icon confirms which version is pinned. Click Use Latest to unpin and return to always using the newest version.

Mark as Live
Pin the current version as the active production version — shown as a button with a rocket icon
Currently Live
Blue indicator with a rocket icon confirming this version is the one your agent uses in production
Use Latest
Unpin and return to always using the most recent version
Live badge
In the version dropdown, the pinned version shows a blue "live" badge with a rocket icon

This means you can keep making changes in Studio without affecting real runs — only the pinned version executes in production.

Managing Connections

The Connections dropdown in the toolbar shows all required integrations at a glance — green checkmarks for connected apps, amber circles for ones that still need setup. Each step card also shows a connection badge: green for connected, orange for "Connect [app]". Click any badge to connect, switch accounts, or choose a provider. If multiple steps use the same app, the dropdown groups them and shows the step count.

Connections dropdown
Click "Connections (2/3)" in the toolbar to see all required integrations and their status
Step badges
Each step shows its connection status — green for connected, orange for "Connect [app]" or "Select Account"
Per-step accounts
Each step can use a different account for the same app — e.g. two different Google accounts
Clear Context Cache
The refresh button clears cached integration metadata — use this if your sheet columns or app structure changed
