# Create an Agent

> Create an Agent from scratch or a template in B-Bot Hub

# Create an Agent

Open **Agents** in the sidebar and select **Create agent**, or choose **Create agent** in the agent selector. Both open `/agents/new`.

## Choose a starting point

* **From scratch:** Select **Create agent** and enter your own settings.
* **From a template:** On the Agents page, select **Browse templates**, filter the list, and choose **Use template**. Review every prefilled value before saving.

## Complete the initial setup

The new-agent page starts with **Basics** and **Goals**.

### Basics

* **Name:** Required.
* **Profession:** The role shown with the agent.
* **Description:** Required to be at least 50 characters for a new agent. The field accepts up to 250 characters.

### Guided setup and Pro mode

Guided setup uses the description to generate missing system and function metadata, selects a default model from available provider keys, and attempts to set up layered memory.

Turn on **Pro mode** when you want to write the system message, function name, and function description yourself. You can also generate a system message from the current description.

### Goals

Use **Goals** to add a northstar and measurable long-term goals when they are useful for the agent. Goals are optional during creation.

## Save before continuing

Select **Save**. The Hub creates the agent and routes you to `/agents/{agentId}`.

<Warning>
  **Abilities**, **Model**, and **Team** are disabled until the agent has been
  saved. The profile-image control is also available only for a saved agent.
</Warning>

Creation can continue even if optional model attachment or memory setup is unavailable. Review the saved agent before relying on those settings.
