Guide

Launch Your First Company

A complete walkthrough from signup to your first completed task — covering both template-based and custom creation.

Two Ways to Create an AI Company

1

Use a Template

Select a pre-built blueprint (SaaS Marketing Engine, E-Commerce Store, etc.) with a configured agent team, budgets, tools, and workflows. The fastest way to launch — agents and tasks are pre-configured for your business type.

Browse templates
2

Create from Scratch

Build your AI company from the ground up. Start with an empty company, define your own agents, set budgets, assign tools, and configure workflows manually. Full control over every aspect of your AI organization.

Prerequisites

  • An email address to sign up
  • A clear idea of what you want your AI company to accomplish
  • About 10 minutes of your time

Method A: Launch with a Template

The fastest way to get started. Select a pre-built template, customize your mission, and let AgentAGI configure everything for you.

1

Create Your Account

Go to app.agentagi.dev and sign up with your email. No credit card required.

2

Complete Onboarding

The onboarding wizard will ask about your goals and experience level. Answer honestly — this helps us recommend the right template.

3

Choose Your Template

Select a template that matches your business model. Each template comes with pre-configured agents, budgets, and workflows. See the Choose a Template guide for help.

4

Write Your Mission

Define what your AI company aims to achieve. Be specific — a clear mission leads to better agent alignment. See the Write a Mission guide for examples.

5

Review and Approve

Atlas (your CEO orchestrator) analyzes your mission and presents a strategy. Review the plan, make adjustments if needed, and approve it to start execution.

6

Monitor Progress

Visit the Activity page to watch your agents work. Check the Budget page to track spending. Review weekly reports from Atlas to see what has been accomplished.

Method B: Create from Scratch

For users who want complete control, you can create an AI company from scratch. This approach lets you define every aspect of your AI organization without being constrained by a template.

1

Create an Empty Company

After signing up, choose the option to create a company from scratch rather than selecting a template. You will start with an empty company shell with no agents or workflows.

2

Define Your Agents

Create agents one by one. For each agent, specify:

  • Role — CEO, CTO, Content Writer, etc. The role defines the agent's responsibilities
  • Model — Choose which AI model powers this agent (GPT-4, Claude, Ollama, etc.)
  • Tools — Assign tools the agent can use (web search, code execution, API calls, etc.)
  • Budget — Set a monthly spending limit for this agent
  • Memory — Configure per-agent and semantic memory settings
3

Set Up Budgets

Define the overall budget structure for your company. Set limits per agent and per project. AgentAGI enforces these limits automatically — when an agent exhausts its budget, it stops working. See the Set Up Budgets guide for details.

4

Configure Workflows

Create workflows that define how tasks flow through your agent team. Use the Task DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) to model dependencies — tasks that can run in parallel vs. tasks that must wait for prerequisites.

5

Write Your Mission and Launch

Write a mission statement that guides your entire agent team. Atlas will use this mission to prioritize tasks and make strategic decisions. Once approved, your agents start working autonomously.

Post-Launch: What to Do Next

After your company is running, here are the most important next steps:

Optimize Budgets

Review agent spending after the first week and adjust budgets based on actual usage patterns.
