Data Agents Quickstart
Get started with Data Agents in minutes. This guide will walk you through the basics of creating and deploying your first Data Agent.
Understanding Data Agents
Before you begin, it's important to understand two key concepts:
Data Agent Blueprint - A template or configuration that defines how data should be collected, processed, and structured. Think of it as a recipe that specifies what data sources to use, how to filter and transform the data, and what insights to generate.
Data Agent Instance - A running agent created from a blueprint. This is what actually executes the data pipeline and produces results. When you deploy a blueprint, you create an instance that continuously processes data according to the blueprint's specifications.
When you browse the marketplace, you're viewing blueprints. When you "Create Instance" or deploy, you're launching your own agent that runs independently with your custom configuration.
What You'll Learn
- How to browse and find Data Agents
- How to configure a Data Agent
- How to deploy and integrate your Data Agent
Getting Started
Step 1: Browse Available Agents
Explore the marketplace to find agents that fit your information needs. You can browse by category, data source, or use case.
Step 2: Configure Parameters
Customize data sources, filters, and output insights to match your requirements. Configure:
- Data sources and connectors
- Filtering and preprocessing rules
- Output format and structure
- Delivery endpoints
Step 3: Test with Simulation
Run simulations to verify outputs before deployment. This helps ensure your Data Agent is configured correctly and produces the expected results.
Step 4: Deploy & Integrate
Once configured, deploy your Data Agent and get API endpoints or MCP server connections to integrate with your AI applications or AI agents.
Integration Options
Once your Data Agent is configured, you can deploy it instantly and connect through:
- API: Secure REST endpoints
- MCP: Plug directly into multi-cloud workflows
- ElizaOS: Integrate into autonomous agent frameworks
