Getting Started

Quickstart: Build your first AI bot

Go from zero to a working AI bot in under 5 minutes. No code required.

What you'll build

In this quickstart, you'll create a web research bot — an AI agent that takes a topic, searches the web, and delivers a structured summary. It takes about 5 minutes.

By the end, you'll understand the three building blocks of every MagOneAI bot:

  1. Agent — the AI persona that reasons and acts
  2. Workflow — the sequence of steps the agent follows
  3. Execution — a single run of the workflow with real input

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have:

  • Access to a MagOneAI instance (Studio portal)
  • An LLM provider configured (GPT-4o, Claude, or any OpenAI-compatible model)
  • The Web Search tool available in your project

Don't have Web Search configured yet? Check the Web Search setup guide — it takes about 2 minutes.


Step-by-step

Create a project

If you don't have a project yet:

  1. Open MagOneAI Studio
  2. Click New Project
  3. Give it a name (e.g., "My First Bots")

All your agents, workflows, and executions live inside a project.

Create a workflow (Use Case)

  1. Go to Use Cases in the left sidebar
  2. Click Create Use Case
  3. Name it "Web Research Bot"
  4. Open the Canvas (workflow builder)

A Use Case is your workflow — and agents are created inside it.

Add an Agent node and configure it

Your workflow needs just three nodes:

START --> Agent (Web Researcher) --> END
  1. The Start and End nodes are already on the canvas
  2. Drag an Agent node from the sidebar onto the canvas
  3. Connect: Start → Agent → End
  4. Click the Agent node to open its properties panel
  5. Configure the agent:
FieldValue
NameWeb Researcher
RoleResearch analyst
  1. Set the persona instructions:
You are a research analyst. Given a topic, search the web for current,
accurate information and produce a structured summary.

Your output must include:
- A 2-3 sentence overview
- 3-5 key facts or findings
- Sources you referenced

Be concise and factual. Cite your sources.
  1. Under Tools, add the Web Search tool
  2. Enable Can execute tools
  3. Click Save

That's it — your agent and workflow are ready to run.

Run your bot

  1. Click Execute (or Run) on the canvas
  2. Enter your input:
{
  "query": "What are the latest developments in quantum computing?"
}
  1. Watch the execution progress:

    • Start node processes input
    • Agent node calls the LLM, which searches the web and synthesizes results
    • End node returns the final output
  2. View the result — a structured research summary with sources

Review the execution

After the run completes:

  1. Go to Executions in the sidebar
  2. Click on your execution
  3. Explore:
    • Activity logs — see input/output for each step
    • LLM usage — tokens used and cost
    • Duration — how long each activity took

Every execution is fully logged and auditable.


What just happened?

Here's what MagOneAI did under the hood:

Your execution runs on Temporal — the same engine used by Uber and Stripe. If the server crashed mid-execution, it would resume exactly where it left off.


Make it more powerful

Now that you have a working bot, here are quick ways to level it up:
