Grid Management

The Agent Grid is Artinet's visual workflow builder that allows you to create multi-agent systems by connecting agents in sophisticated workflows. This guide covers everything you need to know about managing agents within the grid environment.

Overview

The Agent Grid provides a drag-and-drop interface for: - Adding existing agents to workflows - Creating new agents directly in workflows - Connecting agents through visual relationships - Testing complex multi-agent scenarios - Saving and loading workflow configurations

Adding Agents to the Grid

Adding Existing Agents

You can add any deployed agents to the grid workflow:

  1. Find Agent Registration ID: Browse all deployed agents in the Explore list or your own My Agents list and copy the id for the agent you want to add
  2. Access Agent Library: Click the "Add Agent" button in the grid interface and insert the registration id

Adding New Agents

Create new agents directly within the grid environment:

  1. Click "New Agent": Select the new agent option in the grid and double click the agent to open the Creation Form
  2. Creation Form: Fill out essential fields (name, type, prompt, skills, etc.)
  3. Immediate Integration: Agent becomes available in the current workflow
  4. Refine Later: Access full configuration options from the agent's create menu

Connecting Agents

Drag Connection System

The grid uses an intuitive drag-and-drop system for creating agent connections:

For Director Agents

Directors can manage multiple agents of all three types:

  1. Connection Points: Director agents show multiple output connection points
  2. Drag to Connect: Drag from Director's output to target agent's input
  3. Validation: System validates connection compatibility automatically

Connection Management

  • Remove Connection: Remove the agent in the Director create menu to remove a connection

Testing Within Grid

Grid Testing Capabilities

The grid provides comprehensive testing for multi-agent workflows using the create agent test and deploy feature.

Director Testing Requirements

Important: Directors can only be fully tested if their connected child agents are deployed:

  • Deployment Check: System verifies all connected agents are deployed
  • Warning System: Clear indicators when child agents are not ready

Saving and Loading Workflows

Workflow Management

Saving and Loading Workflows: - Manual Save: Save button for immediate saves to a json file - Manual Load: Simply load up a json file that you have saved previously
