Prerequisites

What You'll Need
  • An orckAI account (sign up at orckai.app)
  • API key from Anthropic (Claude) or OpenAI (GPT) - get yours here
  • 5-10 minutes of your time

Step 1: Configure LLM Provider

Before creating agents, you need to connect an LLM provider. orckAI supports multiple providers including Anthropic Claude and OpenAI GPT models.

  1. Navigate to Settings In the orckAI dashboard, click on "Settings" in the left sidebar.
  2. Open LLM Configuration Click on "LLM Config" to access provider settings.
  3. Add Your API Key Select your provider (Anthropic or OpenAI) and paste your API key. Click "Save" to confirm.
  4. Test Connection Use the "Test" button to verify your API key works correctly.
Pro Tip

You can configure multiple LLM providers and switch between them when creating agents. Different models excel at different tasks.

Step 2: Create Your First Agent

Now let's create an intelligent agent that can help with customer support tasks.

  1. Go to AI Agents Click "AI Agents" in the left sidebar and then "Create Agent".
  2. Set Basic Details Enter "Customer Support Assistant" as the name and select your LLM provider.
  3. Write System Prompt Add this system prompt:
    You are a helpful customer support assistant. Your role is to: - Provide friendly and professional responses - Help customers with product questions - Escalate complex issues to human agents when needed - Always maintain a positive and solution-focused attitude When you don't know something, be honest and offer to connect the customer with a specialist.
  4. Configure Settings Set execution mode to "Standard" and adjust max tokens if needed (default 4000 is fine).
  5. Save Your Agent Click "Create Agent" to save your configuration.

Step 3: Test Your Agent

Let's verify your agent works correctly by testing it in the chat interface.

  1. Open Chat Interface Navigate to "Chat" in the left sidebar.
  2. Select Your Agent Choose "Customer Support Assistant" from the agent dropdown.
  3. Send Test Messages Try these sample messages to test different scenarios:
    • "Hello, I need help with my account"
    • "What are your business hours?"
    • "I'm having trouble with a complex technical issue"
  4. Review Responses Check that the agent responds appropriately and follows your system prompt instructions.
What to Expect

Your agent should provide helpful, professional responses and offer to escalate complex issues. If responses don't match expectations, refine your system prompt.
