Overview

The most exciting aspect of developing agents is using your creativity to solve real business challenges. Don’t worry—while we’ll cover all the possibilities, you can start simple and build gradually!

Step 1: Envisioning Your Onboarding Assistant

Think about what would make onboarding easier at your organization. An effective onboarding assistant might:

1. Answer Common Questions: Provide quick responses about company policies, benefits, and procedures
2. Share Resources: Direct new hires to important documentation and training materials
3. Connect People: Help new employees find the right team members to speak with
4. Gather Feedback: Collect insights to improve the onboarding process

Remember, you don’t need to implement all these features at once! Start with what delivers the most immediate value.

Step 2: Planning Your Approach

Before building, consider these key questions:

1. What knowledge will your agent need? Think about existing FAQs, handbooks, or guides
2. Where will your agent live? Consider where new hires would most easily access it
3. Who will maintain it? Identify who will keep the agent’s knowledge current
4. How should interactions flow? Map out simple conversation patterns to start

The advantage of Credal agents is that you can start with a simple implementation and enhance it over time as you learn what works best for your team.
