How to Build Your Custom Agent
The Simplest Possible Process
- Describe what you want the agent to do
- Select the apps it needs
- Set any rules or limitations
- Deploy and start using
Example: Building a Sales Agent
What you say:- Agent Builder creates your Sales Agent
- It integrates with: Google Search, Email, Salesforce, Calendar
- It runs every day automatically
- It handles the entire sales process
Step-by-Step Creation Process
Step 1: Access Agent Builder

- Click “Create New” → “Custom Agent”
- Or go to “Agent Builder” from main menu
Step 2: Name Your Agent
Good agent names:- Sales Outreach Agent
- Customer Support Bot
- Research Assistant
- Content Creator
- HR Interview Coordinator
- Agent1
- Bot
- AI (too generic)
Step 3: Describe Your Agent’s Purpose
What to include:Step 4: Select Applications
How it works:- Agent Builder shows recommended apps based on description
- You can add/remove apps as needed
- Click “Connect” to authorize each app
- Choose what permissions the agent gets
| Permission | What Agent Can Do | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Read | View data only | Read emails, check calendar |
| Write | Create new data | Send emails, create tasks |
| Delete | Remove data | Delete old records |
| Execute | Trigger actions | Run workflows, schedule posts |
Step 5: Define Agent Behavior
You describe:Step 6: Set Up Triggers & Schedule
Triggers (When agent runs):- Manual: When user clicks “Run”
- Scheduled: Daily at 9 AM, Weekly on Monday, Monthly on 1st
- Event-based: When new email arrives, new lead in Salesforce, form submitted
- API: When external system calls NeuroAI
Step 7: Test Your Agent
Before deploying:- Simple Test: Give it one simple task
- “Send a test email to test@company.com”
- Check if email arrives correctly
- Complex Test: Give it a multi-step task
- “Find a lead, research them, write an email, save to Salesforce”
- Check each step completed correctly
- Edge Case Test: Test error handling
- “What happens if email app is down?”
- “What if data is incomplete?”
- Full Simulation: Run complete workflow on test data
- 10-20 test scenarios
- Check for errors or unexpected behavior
Step 8: Deploy Agent
When testing passes:- Click “Deploy” or “Publish Agent”
- Choose visibility: Private (you only) or Team (shared)
- Set notifications (email/Slack when agent runs)
- Configure logging (track all actions)

Best Practices
1. Start Simple, Then Expand
Don’t:2. Be Specific in Descriptions
Vague:3. Give Clear Rules
Without rules:- Agent might make mistakes
- Inconsistent quality
- Unexpected behavior
4. Test with Real Data First
Best approach:- Create agent
- Test with 5-10 real scenarios
- Review outputs manually
- Refine rules based on results
- Then deploy fully
- Deploy immediately without testing
- Test only with made-up examples
- Assume it will work correctly
5. Monitor Performance
Track metrics:- Success rate (% of tasks completed)
- Error rate (% of failures)
- Quality (user satisfaction)
- Speed (time to complete)
- Cost (credits used)
- If success < 90%, improve rules
- If quality scores low, refine prompts
- If too slow, optimize workflow
- If costs high, reduce scope
6. Document Everything
Create a simple guide:7. Iterate Based on Feedback
Weekly improvement cycle:Troubleshooting
Problem: Agent is making errors
Solution:- Check the rules - are they clear enough?
- Review agent’s logic - is it following instructions?
- Refine the description - add more context
- Add specific rules to prevent errors
Problem: Agent is too slow
Solution:- Reduce number of steps in workflow
- Remove unnecessary data processing
- Pre-filter data before sending to agent
- Run agent less frequently if possible
Problem: Agent is using too many credits
Solution:- Reduce frequency (run daily instead of hourly)
- Process fewer items per run
- Use simpler AI models for simple tasks
- Batch similar tasks together
Problem: Agent keeps missing cases
Solution:- Add catch-all rules for edge cases
- Improve trigger conditions
- Lower thresholds for escalation
- Add logging to identify patterns
Problem: Certain apps won’t connect
Solution:- Check that you have admin access to the app
- Verify the app supports API connections
- Try reconnecting: remove and re-add the app
- Contact NeuroAI support if error persists
Problem: Agent is doing things you didn’t ask for
Solution:- Add “NEVER” rules to restrict behavior
- Be more specific in your description
- Add validation steps before actions
- Reduce agent’s autonomy (require human approval for some actions)
