Create a no-code agent with Agent Designer

With Google Agentspace, create custom AI agents using natural language descriptions that require no programming. These no-code agents automate workflows by interacting with all the data sources and tools configured within your Google Agentspace environment.

You can use the agents to perform a variety of tasks based on specific instructions that you can provide in natural language. For example, you can deploy an agent that drafts welcome emails for your new team members when integrated with your people directory and email client.

This page describes how to create, use, edit, and delete a no-code agent using Agent Designer.

Create a no-code agent

You can create a no-code agent with Agent Designer and test it while you configure its details during creation. Before you create an agent, identify the goal or task that you want the agent to perform.

App

To create a no-code agent with Agent Designer, do the following:

  1. In the app navigation menu, go to Agents.
  2. Click Create Agent.
  3. On the New agent page, add these details to the editor:
    • Name. A unique and descriptive name for your agent.
    • Goal Description. A brief explanation of the primary function that the agent must perform or the problem that the agent must solve.
    • Icon. Optionally, select an icon to visually identify your agent.
    • Instructions. A detailed explanation of what you want the agent to achieve. You can provide high-level guidance or detailed steps depending on the complexity of the task. To refine and expand your initial instructions using AI assistance, click Help me write. This feature uses Gemini to generate a comprehensive set of instructions based on your input.
    • Data sources & tools. Add data sources and tools for your agent to utilize, such as Calendar, Drive, or Gmail.
    • Starter prompts. Add starter prompts that guide users on how to interact with the agent. You can add as many starter prompts as you like, but the system shows a random selection of up to four prompts at a time.
  4. In the Preview pane, interact with your agent and evaluate its responses.
  5. Edit the agent's instructions, if necessary.
  6. Click Save.
    • The agent is added to your Agents gallery in the Your agents section. The agent also appears in the app navigation menu under your listed Agents.
    • A dialog appears the first time you save an agent. To start using your agent, click Start chat.
