Building your own AI agent
Chat with the Agent Creator to design, name, and picture a custom AI agent — no forms to fill in.
Want an AI agent with its own name, voice, and job — a running coach, a book-club buddy, a strict editor — but the marketplace doesn't have quite the right one? The Agent Creator builds it for you, through a conversation instead of a settings form.
Opening it
At the top of AI → Agents — both your own list and the Browse agents gallery — is a "Create your own custom agent" card. Tap it and a normal chat opens with the Agent Creator, which greets you right away and asks what kind of agent you have in mind.
How the conversation goes
- Describe it. Say what you want in your own words — "a blunt fitness coach," "a calm journaling companion" — and attach any files or images that help explain the idea.
- Answer a few quick questions. The Agent Creator narrows things down, often with tappable buttons when the answers are a short list (see Chats and AI agents for how those buttons work).
- Approve the plan. Before building anything, it shows you a short plan — the agent's name, purpose, and personality in a couple of sentences — and waits for your go-ahead.
- It's created. Once you approve, your new agent exists immediately, alongside every other agent you have.
- Give it a picture. The Agent Creator offers to set an avatar — pick an emoji, paste an existing image, or (if image generation is turned on) have it generate one in a style you describe. It can offer a chat background too.
- Start chatting. It hands you a "Start chatting with…" button that jumps straight to your new agent's chat.
Afterwards, it's just an agent
Your new agent isn't special or locked — it's an ordinary entry in AI → Agents, so every existing control reaches it: rename it, change its picture, set its chat background, or open Edit personality to rewrite its voice by hand. See Managing your AI agents and Teaching your AI.
