Getting Started with Agent Builder
The Agent Builder allows you to easily create functional AI agents through a no-code interface. You can build, customize, and deploy agents directly from your browser, without any infrastructure setup.
Core Features
No-code agent creation
Prompt-based agents with custom behaviors
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) using your own documents
Fully managed serverless deployment
Real-time monitoring and usage tracking
⚠️ Note: During open beta, free usage is rate-limited. You can apply for expanded access via the in-app popup or this whitelist form.
Build Your First Agent - Quick Start
Follow these simple steps to create and deploy your first agent:
Step 1: Create a New Agent
Navigate to the Agent Builder.
Name your agent.
Define your agent’s system prompt — describe its task, tone, and behavior.


Step 2: Select a Model
Use a model you own or import a model directly from the AI Marketplace.

Step 3: Select a Dataset (Optional)
Use your own uploaded datasets or import a dataset from the AI Marketplace. Any uploaded or purchased datasets are securely stored in your assets folder.

Step 4: Register Your Agent
Choose to register your agent on-chain via the Sahara Blockchain.
Registration mints an OwnershipNFT, establishing on-chain provenance.

Step 5: Assign a Co-Owner (Optional)
Share ownership of the agent with collaborators.

Step 6: Set a License Type

When registering your agent, select a license that defines usage rights:
License Type
Description
Open Use
Free, unrestricted reuse with no royalties
Non-Commercial Remix
Free remixing allowed for non-commercial use
Commercial Use
Commercial use allowed, remixing prohibited
Commercial Remix
Full commercial use & remixing allowed, with automated royalty routing
⚠️ Licensing is required to list your agents for monetization when the Marketplace opens for commercial use.
Step 7: Complete the Registration of your Agent
⚠️If you require additional $SAHARA to complete the transaction click "Top Up" to access the testnet faucet.

Step 7: Deploy Your Agent
Click on your newly registered agent
Select Serverless provider.
Your agent will be live with an API endpoint in seconds.
