Here’s how the process typically flows: #### **Step 1:** [**Define the Agent’s Role**](https://docs.raiaai.com/launch-plan/ai-agent-roles) * Choose what your AI agent will do: Sales, Support, Operations, Internal HR, etc. * Pick a role template or start from scratch. * **Pro Tip:** The role determines your agent’s skillset and personality. You can customize tone and objectives. *** #### **Step 2: Name & Describe Your Agent** * **Enter a public-friendly name** (required). * **Add an internal name** (required for your internal reference). * **Upload a logo or avatar** (optional, helps visually distinguish agents). * **Write a short description** (required, helps users know the agent’s purpose). * **Add tags** (optional, for quick search later). *** #### **Step 3:** [**Provide Instructions & Training Data**](https://docs.raiaai.com/raia-cx/agent-management/agent-training-tab) * **Instructions:** Write the “job description” or rules for your agent. This shapes how it responds. * **Upload documents:** Attach PDFs, FAQs, or knowledge files. This becomes the agent’s knowledge base. * **Add URLs for scraping:** Give websites if you want the agent to pull in more information (raia validates and avoids duplicates). * **(Optional) Add packs:** Use pre-built training packs for common use cases (e.g., mortgage, support, sales). *** #### **Step 4:** [**Select Skills**](https://docs.raiaai.com/launch-plan/ai-agent-skills) * raia agents come with built-in skills: **Live Chat, SMS, Email, Voice, APIs, Calendar, Campaigns, Webhooks**, etc. * Choose the communication channels and integrations your agent needs. * **Note:** At least one skill is required (Live Chat is default). You can add or remove skills later. *** #### **Step 5:** [**Connect Integrations**](https://docs.raiaai.com/integrations/workflow-integration) * Link to your CRM, calendar, or other apps via API keys or OAuth. * Configure permissions (least privilege is best). * Test the connections. *** #### **Step 6: Review and Launch** * Preview your agent: Check summary, training sources, skills, and integrations. * Test with simulated conversations using raia’s built-in tools (“Copilot”). * If ready, **click “Launch”** or “Activate” to deploy your agent. *** ### 4. **Manage & Monitor Your Agents** * All your agents appear in the **Agents dashboard**. * You can switch between **card and table views**, search by tags, mark favorites, and personalize agents’ visuals/colors for easy identification. * Use **Copilot** for real conversations, human-in-the-loop oversight, and feedback training (rate answers, edit replies, intervene if needed). *** ### 5. **Invite Users and Set Permissions** * raia supports **multiple user levels**: Super Admin, Org Owner, Admin, Agent Owner, Editor, etc. * Invite team members via email, assign them to roles, and control their access to agents and data. *** ### 6. **Advanced: Multi-Channel and Security Setup** * Configure additional skills and channels (SMS, Email, Web Chat). * Set up 2FA, audit trails, and access controls for compliance. *** #### **Tips for Success** * **Start with a focused use case** (e.g., sales lead qualifier or FAQ bot). * **Upload clean, relevant documents** for best results. * Use the **feedback loop**: test, adjust instructions, and retrain. * Leverage raia’s support by emailing or launching the raia Agent Live Chat in the app if you get stuck or want a demo. *** ### **In Summary** Setting up a raia account and building your first agent is designed to be **zero-code, fast, and intuitive**.
