Core Guide: Get Started in 3 Steps

Core Guide: Get Started in 3 Steps is the fastest, simplest way to understand Agentria.

It skips complex setup and detailed concept explanations, guiding you through only the essentials so you can build your first workflow (Workflow) quickly. Following the 3 steps below will naturally teach you everything from creating a workflow to basic node integration and the overall working flow, and it also serves as a foundation for deeper learning.

If this is your first time developing, or you want a more detailed walkthrough with step-by-step examples, check out the 🔗Node Usage page for tutorials suited to your level.

Step 1: Create a Project and Select a Composer

First, sign up and log in to Agentria.

When you visit Agentria for the first time, a sample project called Welcome to Agentria! is ready for you. This project includes samples that let you run Ability and Agent workflows firsthand.

To create a new project, click the +Create Project button in the upper right corner of the screen, enter a name and description, and click Save.

Next, select a Composer within the project. The Composer determines the nature and purpose of the workflow, and you can choose between the following two options.

• Ability: A workflow focused on performing a specific function or task quickly and accurately. Useful for automating single-function tasks such as translation, summarization, or data processing.

• Agent: An intelligent workflow that operates conversationally, using memory to understand context and support ongoing interaction. Well-suited for projects like customer-facing chatbots or support assistants that need long-term context management.

Once you've selected a Composer, click the +Create Ability or +Create Agent button in the upper right corner to create your Ability or Agent. You can now enter the Canvas and start building your workflow in earnest.

Step 2: Configure Nodes

An Agentria workflow is made up of Nodes, its core building block. Each node performs a specific function, and you combine multiple nodes to build a complete flow.

The canvas comes with a Start Node and an End Node placed by default. The Start Node begins the overall flow, and the End Node ends it.

To implement the functionality you need, use the +Add Node button at the bottom of the canvas to bring in new nodes. You can freely place nodes on the canvas via drag and drop and reposition them anytime.

Understanding and connecting nodes correctly determines the quality and efficiency of your workflow, so it's important to clearly understand what role each node plays and how it interacts with other nodes.

Double-click a node to open the Node Editor, where you can define input/output variables or write code and prompts directly.

That said, some nodes require preparation before you can use them right away.

• Data Storage nodes require you to create the Data Storage first.

• Nodes that integrate with external APIs or services require you to register a Credential first, using a token issued by that service.

The element that connects nodes and creates the path data travels along is called an Edge. An edge isn't just a line — it defines the order and manner in which data is passed within the workflow.

When designing a workflow, always structure it so the flow runs from the start node, through intermediate nodes, to the end node, and connecting each node with edges is essential for this flow to work correctly.

Edges let you build more than just sequential node connections — branching, conditional flows, parallel execution, and other data flows — so you'll need to design edges to fit the complexity and purpose of your workflow.

Step 3: Test and Improve

Once your workflow is built, verify its behavior with a test.

Click the RUN TEST button at the bottom right of the screen to run the entire workflow, letting you immediately check whether the node connections and data flow work correctly. Test results appear as a success or failure message along with the final output.

If you get an unexpected result or an error occurs, check and fix the affected node's variable settings, instructions, or connections, then run the test again to improve it.

Agentria uses a different testing method depending on the Composer.

Ability Test

• Ability Test: Runs sequentially, letting you check each node's input and output step by step — useful for function-level verification and debugging. When you run the test, the execution flow is displayed visually on the canvas, so you can intuitively confirm that the workflow works correctly.

Agent Test

• Agent Test: Verifies results in a chatbot-like conversational testing environment similar to a real conversation scenario. It also covers memory and context management, letting you evaluate the quality of the Agent's responses.

Next Steps

With Agentria, you can turn an idea into reality in just 3 steps. You can start a project without complex setup, and the intuitive interface lets anyone build a workflow quickly and easily.

If you want to learn more, work through the tutorials at your level and build a workflow of your own.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to finish the quickstart?

It varies by person, but going from sign-up to testing your first workflow usually takes just a few minutes. It's designed to walk you through the core flow quickly, without complex setup or concept study.

Which should I build first, an Ability or an Agent?

Choose an Ability if you want to automate a fixed task quickly and accurately, or an Agent if you need a conversational workflow that maintains context while interacting with users. Both Composers use the same node-editing approach, so it's fine to start with whichever fits your purpose.

What do I do if a node connection fails or an error occurs?

Use the error message from RUN TEST to check and fix the affected node's variable settings, instructions, or connections, then run the test again. For nodes that use Data Storage or external service integrations, also confirm that the storage has been created or the Credential has been registered beforehand.

What should I do after finishing the quickstart?

We recommend working through the Node Usage tutorials at your level to build the workflows you actually need for your work.
