# Build with AI

The fastest way to a new agent: give it a name and say what it's for. Foxora composes the persona, instructions, and the right skills and tools, then drops the result into the editor for you to review.

## Start the AI Builder

- 01Open the create forkIn the Agents workbench, go to Agents and click + New agent. You’ll see two options: Build with AI and Start from scratch. Pick Build with AI.New agent+ New agent → Build with AI vs Start from scratch.
- 02Describe the agentGive Foxora a short brief:Name — e.g. Release Manager.What’s this agent’s job? — one or two sentences, e.g. “Own releases: cut the version, write the changelog, tag and publish.”Department (optional) — e.g. Engineering. Just gives Foxora context to pick a fitting setup.Build a agent with AIThe brief: name + purpose, with an optional department.
- 03Let Foxora draft itClick Draft agent. The composing runs server-side on the engine: Foxora writes the persona and instructions, and selects the skills and tools that fit the job — creating new skills when it needs them. You’ll get a toast when it’s done.If a role wants a specialized modelWhen the composer thinks a role would do better on a particular model, it surfaces a “Pick a custom model” hint. That’s a suggestion — the agent still runs on its managed tier unless you pin one. See Models & tiers.
- 04Review and saveThe draft opens in the same manual editor — nothing is saved yet. Walk the tabs, adjust anything, optionally run a quick test, then click Create agent.

> The AI never leaves you stuckIf the engine can’t be reached or the model returns nothing, the modal stays open with the reason and a Build manually escape that opens a blank editor seeded from your brief — never a silent, half-built draft.
