Create an AI Agent

Updated 2026-07-21·3 min read

Overview

Build a specialist that works your business around the clock: a support rep, a bookkeeper, or a follow-up assistant. In this video, build a custom AI agent that reasons over your projects, calls tools, and remembers past conversations.

TL;DR: Taskade AI agents combine a custom system prompt, 34 built-in tools, and persistent memory. Train one on your data, then embed it anywhere. Start with this short walk-through, then create an agent.

What you will learn

  1. How to define an agent's role, tone, and goals
  2. How to add tools so the agent can take action, not just chat
  3. How persistent memory keeps context across sessions
  4. How to share the agent with teammates or embed it on a public page

What an agent can do for you

Each capability maps to a real job your agent can run without you:

Agent capability What it does for your business
Custom tools Book a job, update a CRM, or send an invoice
Persistent memory Remembers a client's history across chats
Knowledge sources Answers from your own docs and files
Slash commands Runs a repeatable task on command
Public embedding Puts a support agent on your website

Quick setup

  1. Open Agents in your workspace.
  2. Click New agent and pick a frontier model.
  3. Write a system prompt that describes the agent's job.
  4. Attach knowledge sources, tools, and slash commands.
  5. Test the agent in chat, then publish or share.

Testing a reply that lands slightly off? Use Regenerate on the agent's latest reply to get a fresh take without retyping your message, then tune the prompt until it is right.
