Create an agent in 5 minutes.

---

## Step 1: Open Agents

Go to [Agents](https://app.inference.sh/agents) and click **New Agent**.

---

## Step 2: Choose an LLM

Pick the AI model that powers your agent:

| Model | Good for |
|-------|----------|
| GPT-4 | General purpose, strong reasoning |
| Claude | Long context, detailed responses |
| GPT-3.5 | Fast, cheaper |

---

## Step 3: Write a System Prompt

This tells the agent who it is:

```
You are a helpful assistant that creates images.

When asked to create an image:
1. Ask clarifying questions if needed
2. Generate the image
3. Offer variations
```

Keep it simple. You can refine later.

---

## Step 4: Add a Tool

Click **Add Tool** and search for an image generation app like `stable-diffusion`.

Select it. Done—the agent can now use it.

---

## Step 5: Chat

Open the agent and try:

```
You: Create an image of a sunset over mountains
```

Watch the agent:
1. Plan the task
2. Call the image tool
3. Return your image

---

## That's it

You have an agent that can generate images.

Add more tools to expand what it can do.
