From zero to your first AI Agent in 30 minutes
Overview
This guide will help you get started with AI Agents quickly. Whether you're a developer or a non-technical user, there's a path for you.
Path 1: Use Ready-made Platforms (No Coding)
1. Try Dify
Dify is an open-source, low-code AI application platform. You can build AI Agents through drag-and-drop.
Visit Dify → Deploy locally or use cloud → Create your first Agent
2. Try Open WebUI
Open WebUI is a feature-rich chat interface supporting multiple LLM backends.
One-liner: docker run -d -p 3000:8080 ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main
Path 2: Developer Path (Requires Coding)
1. Using [LangChain](https://aiagbox.com/en/project/langchain-ai~1langchain) (Python)
from langchain.agents import create_react_agent, AgentExecutor
from langchain.tools import tool
@tool
def search(query: str) -> str:
"""Search the web"""
return f'Search results: {query}'
# Create Agent
agent = create_react_agent(llm, tools=[search], prompt=prompt)
agent_executor = AgentExecutor(agent=agent, tools=[search])
result = agent_executor.invoke({'input': 'Find latest AI news'})2. Using [CrewAI](https://aiagbox.com/en/project/crewAI-inc~1crewAI) (Multi-Agent)
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
researcher = Agent(
role='Researcher',
goal='Find and summarize information',
backstory='You are a research assistant',
)
writer = Agent(
role='Writer',
goal='Write reports',
backstory='You are a technical writer',
)Path 3: Use AI Coding Assistants
