Your First AI Agent
Let's create your first AI agent and generate a document:
Navigate to Agents
Click Agents in the left sidebar. You'll see a list of available agents, including:
- Document Generator — Creates various document types (PRDs, specs, etc.)
- Fabric AI — The intelligent orchestrator that routes tasks to specialized agents
- Custom Agents — Agents you or your organization have created
Select an Agent
For your first experience, let's use the Document Generator agent. Click on it to open the chat interface.
Start a Conversation
Type a message to begin. Here are some examples to try:
Create a PRD for a user authentication feature with OAuth supportWrite a technical specification for a REST API that manages user profilesGenerate an architecture document for a microservices-based e-commerce platformReview and Refine
The agent will generate a document based on your request. You can:
- Edit directly in the document editor
- Ask for changes by chatting with the agent
- Accept or reject suggested modifications
- Export the final document to PDF, DOCX, or Markdown
Adding Context with RAG
To get better results, you can provide context from your existing documents:
Create a Workspace
Go to Workspaces → Create Workspace. Give it a name like "Product Documentation" or "Technical Specs".
Upload Documents
Drag and drop documents into your workspace. Fabric supports:
- PDF — Including scanned documents with OCR
- Word Documents — .docx files
- Markdown — .md files
- Text Files — .txt files
- Code Files — Various programming languages
Attach Workspace to Agent
When starting a conversation with an agent, click the Attach button and select your workspace. The agent will now have access to all documents in that workspace for context.
Organizations and Collaboration
If you're working with a team, you can create an organization:
Create an Organization
Go to Settings → Organizations → Create Organization. Choose a name and invite team members via email.
Set Member Roles
Assign roles to team members:
- Owner — Full control, including billing and deletion
- Admin — Can manage members and settings
- Member — Can use agents and create documents
Share Resources
Within an organization, you can share:
- Workspaces — Documents and knowledge bases
- Prompts — Custom prompt templates
- Agents — Organization-specific agents
