Add an agent to the room

Make an agent, give it the name that participants see, and put it in a chamber with the participants.

  1. Create it

    Under Agents in the library, click Create New Agent. The form asks for:

    • Agent Name.
    • Display Name: the name that participants see in the chat. If it is empty, Carrier uses the agent name.
    • An avatar.
    • A description (optional).

    The LLM Response section is for an agent that writes its replies with an AI model. For a scripted agent, which says only the lines that you give it, keep this section closed.

    Click Add Agent to put the agent in the library. When the agent is in a chamber, the builder shows its display name.

    Host, with the display name Harbour host.
  2. Seat it

    Drag the agent from the library into the cast of the chamber. Under Communicators, the agent talks like a participant. But it is not a human slot, and matching waits only for the human participants.

    Click the agent to open its settings. The settings have:

    • Its name and avatar.
    • LLM Response.
    • Open Script Builder, for scripted lines.

    In these settings, you set when the agent talks and what it says (see A scripted confederate and An AI partner in a chat). Click Deploy to save.

    Harbour host joins the two residents in the Discussion chamber.
