An agent is an AI system that reasons through problems and executes tasks autonomously. Agents are configured by specifying models, tools, instructions, and reasoning approach—providing everything needed to accomplish tasks from simple workflows to complex, open-ended objectives.

For more information, see Agents. To build agents using the SDK, see Agents SDK reference.

Agent Builder provides a no-code interface for building, configuring, and managing agents. You can also create custom tools to extend agent capabilities.
