1. What are AI Agents?

In this video, you’ll learn the basics of AI Agents—what they are, how they work, and why they are useful. AI Agents are smart systems that automate tasks by following predefined workflows and integrating with external tools.

2. How to create an AI Agent?

In this tutorial, you’ll learn step by step how to create an AI Agent from scratch. We’ll guide you through the entire setup process, from accessing the Agent section to configuring advanced settings.

You’ll discover:

  • How to name and describe your AI agent

  • The importance of the system prompt and how to set it up. You can use our Agent prompt generator app for help.

  • Choosing the right language model and adjusting creativity settings

  • Finalising and activating your AI Agent

3. What is a Knowledge base?

A knowledge base is a valuable resource for any AI agent, providing a structured collection of information such as texts, documents, and web links that help enhance the agent's understanding and improve its response accuracy.

Supported formats: md, html, pdf, doc, docx, xls, xlsx, ppt, pptx

And also any text file, for example .txt, .csv, etc.

Now, you’ll learn how to create and connect a Knowledge base to your Scade agent, helping it provide more accurate and informed responses.

You’ll discover:

  • How to create a Knowledge base and add relevant content

  • Configuring settings to optimise your agents understanding

  • Connecting the knowledge base to your AI Agent for better performance

4. How to connect tools and workflows?

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to integrate external tools and workflows with your Scade AI agent to expand its functionality and automate tasks efficiently.

What you’ll discover:

  • How to publish a workflow so your AI agent can access it

  • Steps to connect workflows and tools to your agent

  • Adding external integrations like Google Search, Twitter, and YouTube

By the end of this video, your AI agent will be fully equipped to handle more complex tasks using connected workflows and external tools. Watch now and enhance your AI’s potential!

5. How to connect multiple agents together?

Learn how to connect multiple AI agents on Scade to improve collaboration and task execution. This tutorial walks you through the simple steps of linking agents together for enhanced functionality.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to set up a main agent as a hub

  • Adding and managing sub-agents within the platform

  • Customizing prompts and optimizing agent interactions

By completing these five tutorials, you now have a solid understanding of how to create, enhance, and integrate AI agents within the Scade platform. From setting up an agent and connecting a Knowledge base to integrating external tools, workflows, and even linking multiple agents, you’ve learned how to maximize their potential. With these skills, you can build powerful, automated AI systems that streamline tasks and improve efficiency.
