Out of the box, Meggy comes with a collection of built-in agents — a research agent, a coding agent, a voice agent, and more. But what if you need an agent that does something specific to your workflow? That's where the Agent Creator comes in.
The Agent Creator is a guided wizard that walks you through building a custom AI agent from scratch. No coding required — just describe what you want the agent to do, and Meggy helps you configure every aspect of its behavior.
The creator offers two approaches depending on the complexity of your agent:
Best for agents that handle a single type of task using one model:
Engine agents are fast to create and great for focused tasks like "Answer customer questions about our product" or "Help me brainstorm marketing taglines."
Best for agents that need to orchestrate multiple steps or models:
Pipeline agents are powerful for complex workflows like "Receive an email, extract the key request, research a response, draft a reply, and queue it for review."
Not sure how to structure your agent? Describe what you want in natural language and Meggy will suggest a configuration:
"I need an agent that monitors my email, identifies urgent messages, drafts responses, and notifies me on Telegram."
The creator analyzes your description and proposes:
You can accept the suggestion or customize every detail.
Every agent you create includes configurable safety settings:
| Guardrail | Description |
|---|---|
| Content filters | Block or flag outputs that match safety categories |
| Tool restrictions | Limit which tools the agent can use autonomously |
| Approval requirements | Require human approval for specific actions |
| Rate limits | Cap the number of actions per hour or day |
| Output constraints | Set max response length, required format, or tone |
These guardrails ensure your agents behave predictably even when handling unexpected inputs.
After building your agent, connect it to one or more channels:
Each channel binding can have its own configuration, including whether conversational mode is enabled and what sensitivity level to use.
Before deploying, the creator includes a test mode where you can:
Iterate on the prompt, tools, and settings until the agent performs the way you expect.
Custom agents run alongside Meggy's built-in agents and have full access to the same tools, memory, and vault. They're first-class citizens of the Meggy ecosystem.
