Getting Started

Navigate to the Agent Library

1. Log in to your MindPal workspace
2. Click on "Agent" in the left sidebar
3. You'll see your agent library (empty if you're just starting)

Create a New Agent

Click the "+ New Agent" button. You have three options:

• Let AI do the work: Describe what you need, and MindPal will configure the agent for you
• Use a template: Browse pre-made agents and customize them
• Start from scratch: Build your agent manually with full control

For this tutorial, choose "Start from scratch".

Configure the Agent Basics

Give your agent a clear identity:

1. Title: Name your agent (e.g., "Blog Post Writer")
2. Background: Describe who the agent is and what it does

Example background:

You are an experienced content writer specializing in engaging blog posts.
You write in a conversational yet professional tone, focusing on providing
value to readers while maintaining SEO best practices.

Set the Desired Output

Define how you want the agent to format its responses:

Structure your blog posts with:
- An attention-grabbing headline
- A compelling introduction (2-3 sentences)
- 3-5 main sections with subheadings
- A conclusion with a call to action
- Keep total length between 800-1200 words

Choose a Language Model

Select the AI model that powers your agent:

• GPT-4o Mini (1 credit) - Fast and cost-effective for simple tasks
• Gemini 2.5 Flash (1 credit) - Great balance of speed and quality
• GPT-5 (15 credits) - High-quality responses
• Claude 4 Sonnet (20 credits) - Excellent for nuanced writing

Test Your Agent

1. Click "Save" to save your agent configuration
2. Click "Run" or the chat icon to open the chat interface
3. Send a message like: "Write a blog post about the benefits of morning routines"
4. Review the response and iterate on your agent's configuration if needed

(Optional) Publish as a Chatbot

To share your agent with others:

1. Go to the "Chatbot" section in the left sidebar
2. Click "+ New Chatbot"
3. Select your agent as the "brain"
4. Configure the chatbot appearance and settings
5. Click "Publish" to get a shareable link

Navigate to the Workflow Library

1. Click on "Workflow" in the left sidebar
2. Click "+ New Workflow"

Choose Your Starting Point

Like agents, you have three options:

• Let AI do the work: Describe your process and let MindPal build it
• Use a template: Start from a pre-made workflow
• Start from scratch: Build manually using the visual builder

For this tutorial, choose "Start from scratch".

Add a Human Input Node

Every workflow starts with collecting user input:

1. In the workflow builder, you'll see a Human Input node already placed
2. Click on it to configure input fields
3. Add fields like:
   • Topic (Text) - "What topic should we write about?"
   • Target Audience (Text) - "Who is the target audience?"
   • Tone (Select) - Options: Professional, Casual, Friendly

Add an Agent Node

1. Click the "+" button below the Human Input node
2. Select "Agent Node"
3. Configure it:
   • Agent: Select your Blog Post Writer agent (or leave blank for a general agent)
   • Prompt: Write the task, referencing inputs:

   Write a blog post about {{Topic}} for {{Target Audience}}.
   Use a {{Tone}} tone.

Add More Steps (Optional)

Extend your workflow with additional nodes:
