An Agentic App is the top-level container that groups agents, tools, and knowledge bases into a deployable application.

Prerequisites

  • Access to Agent Platform with appropriate permissions to create and manage apps.
  • An AI model with tool-calling support added to the Platform. Supported providers: OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI. See Add an External Model.

App Development Lifecycle

Steps

1. Create an App

  1. Sign in to the Agent Platform and go to Autonomous Agents.
  2. On the Agentic Apps page, click +New App.
  3. Fill in the app details: Example:
  4. Click Create App.
The app overview loads automatically. It summarizes: Default configurations are applied on creation. You can review and update the App Profile and Orchestrator settings as described below.

App Profile

Click the Edit icon on the app’s Overview page to access the App Profile. Review and update these settings as needed.

App Orchestrator

The App Orchestrator page lets you select and configure the orchestration pattern for the app. An orchestration pattern defines how multiple agents coordinate, communicate, and execute tasks — including how they delegate work, control execution flow, and resolve conflicts. The Platform supports the following orchestration patterns:
Orchestrator Configuration
For each orchestration pattern, configure the following:
Single Agent Configuration
All user requests are routed directly to the agent. Since no supervisor is involved, the agent’s prompt serves as the primary instruction set for the underlying model. The Platform constructs a consolidated prompt by combining the following components in order:
  1. Agent Prompt — Core instructions that define the agent’s role and behavior.
  2. Behavioral Instructions — Guidelines that control tone, constraints, and response style.
  3. Tools Assigned to the Agent — Tool definitions available for the agent to invoke.
  4. Events Enabled in the Application — Event-related context.

Supervisor Configuration
In addition to the common configuration above, configure the following for the Supervisor pattern: Learn more.
Adaptive Network Configuration
In addition to the common configuration above, configure the following for the Adaptive Network pattern: Configure agents with delegation rules to define how tasks are routed across the network. Learn more.
Adaptive Network doesn’t support realtime models.

2. Configure Agents

Define agents with specific roles, instructions, tools, and knowledge sources. See Set Up an Agent.

3. Test

Run Diagnostics before testing. Diagnostics validates agents, tools, events, and configurations against production-readiness criteria and flags issues before deployment. Then simulate scenarios to evaluate agent behavior and responses. See Simulate and Test the App.

4. Deploy

Publish the app for users. See App Deployment
