Manually adding your agents

You can manually add your agents to either existing custom accounts or to a new custom account.

Benefits of manually adding your agents

The benefits of manually adding your agents include:

• Full lifecycle management: You can create, update, and delete custom providers, agents, and their associations directly from the UI.
• Simplified UI: Redesigned, intuitive screens make data entry and relationships easy to configure.
• Flexible editing: Users can modify or enrich data added through other sources (e.g., APIs or AI-Catalog uploads).
• Broader customization: Empowers customers to integrate and manage non-native AI providers seamlessly within ACT.
• No technical dependency: All setup and maintenance can be done through guided UI forms.
• Consistent and structured Data: Enforces standardized fields and relationships across all providers and agents.
