# **How to Create an AI Agent as a Block in AutoGPT**
## **Overview**
This guide explains how to create a reusable agent block that can be used as a component in other agents.

## **What Are Agent Blocks?**
Agent blocks are pre-configured, reusable AI workflows that can be used as components within larger automation systems. Think of them as "smart building blocks" - each agent block is itself a complete workflow that can:
- Accept specific inputs
- Process data using AI and traditional automation
- Produce defined outputs
- Be easily reused in different contexts
The power of agent blocks lies in their modularity. Once you create an agent with a specific capability (like translating text or analyzing sentiment), you can reuse it as a single block in other workflows. This means you can:
- Combine multiple agent blocks to create more complex automations
- Reuse proven workflows without rebuilding them
- Share agent blocks with other users
- Create hierarchical systems where specialized agents work together
For example, a content creation workflow might combine several agent blocks:
- A research agent block that gathers information
- A writing agent block that creates the initial draft
- An editing agent block that polishes the content
- A formatting agent block that prepares the final output
## **Creating the Base Agent**
### **Required Components**
1. Input Block
2. AI Text Generator Block
3. Output Block
### **Step-by-Step Setup**
1. **Add and Configure Blocks**
* Add an Input Block
* Add an AI Text Generator Block
* Add an Output Block
2. **Connect Components**
* Connect Input's result to AI Text Generator's Prompt
* Connect AI Text Generator's response to Output's value
3. **Name the Components**
* Name the Input Block: "question"
* Name the Output Block: "answer"
4. **Save the Agent**
* Choose a descriptive name (e.g., "Weather Agent")
* Click Save
## **Converting to a Block**
1. **Access the Block Menu**
* Go to the Builder interface
* Click the Blocks menu
* Click the agent tag or search the name of your agent
2. **Using the Agent Block**
* Click on the agent block to add to your workflow
* Save the new agent with a descriptive name (e.g., "Weather Agent")
## **Testing the Agent Block**
1. **Run the Agent**
* Enter a test question (e.g., "How far is the Earth from the Moon?")
* Click Run
2. **View Results**
* Option 1: Check "Agent Outputs" section*
* Option 2: Click "View More" for detailed results
*Note: if there is no output block then the "Agent Outputs" button will show up blank. You can see the output under view more or at bottom of the block.
## **Advanced Usage**
* You can make more complex agents by combining multiple agent blocks
* Chain different agents together for more sophisticated workflows
## **Note**
This is a basic example that can be expanded upon to create more complex agent blocks with additional functionality. |
