Creating an Agent

What is a MADE.is Agent?

A MADE.is Agent is a modular and flexible unit designed to execute Python scripts in a cloud environment managed by MADE.is. Agents are the building blocks of automation, allowing developers to focus on their application logic without worrying about deployment or server management.

Key Components of a MADE.is Agent

An agent in MADE.is is composed of the following core elements:

1. Script

   • The Python script is the heart of the agent.

   • It must include a main function, which serves as the entry point for execution.

   • The main function can either:

     • Take no parameters: def main():

     • Accept a request parameter: def main(request):

   • Example of a simple script:

     Copy

     def main():
         return "Hello, World!"

2. Requirements

   • These are the Python packages that your script depends on for successful execution.

   • Dependencies must be listed in the format used by pip, e.g., requests==2.26.0.

   • Example of a requirements file:

     Copy

     requests==2.26.0
     pandas==1.3.3

3. Environment Variables

   • These are optional key-value pairs that provide configuration values to your script at runtime.

   • Environment variables are ideal for sensitive data like API keys or dynamic values that may vary between executions.

   • Example of environment variables:

     Copy

     OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
     DATA_PATH=/home/user/data

How to Create a MADE.is Agent

Creating an agent in MADE.is is a simple process, and you can do it via the MADE.is UI. Follow these steps:

1. Access the UI

   • Log in to your MADE.is account and navigate to the Agents section.

   • Click on Create Agent to begin.

2. Provide Agent Components

   • Script: Upload or paste your Python script in the code editor provided. Ensure it includes a main function.

   • Requirements: List any dependencies required by your script. These will be installed automatically during the build process.

   • Environment Variables: Add any configuration variables your script needs. This step is optional.

3. Save and Build the Agent

   • After providing all necessary details, save the agent.

   • MADE.is will automatically start the build process, which includes:

     • Installing dependencies.

     • Packaging the script into a containerized environment.

   • Once the build is complete, the agent will be ready for execution.
