# Making one yourself

Agent Builder: a name, a job description, some knowledge, a test.

7 screens, about three minutes. Pictures, almost no words.

## You can make one.

*Picture: One large box labelled an agent you made.*

It takes about twenty minutes and no code.

## You are writing a job advert.

*Picture: A page with ruled lines labelled a job advert.*

What it is called, what it does, how it sounds.

## Four steps, in that order.

*Picture: Four steps in a row: name it, describe the job, give it knowledge, test it. The last is amber.*

Most people skip the last one.

## You point it at things.

*Picture: A box labelled the agent with arrows from three boxes labelled a SharePoint site, a Teams channel, a public website.*

It answers from those and says where it looked.

## Then you decide who gets it.

*Picture: A dashed frame labelled who gets it holding two boxes, just me and my team, the second in amber.*

Start with just you. Share it when it stops embarrassing you.

## Do today

Open Copilot on a computer, find agent builder, and read the first screen without making anything.
