Agent Designer

The Agent Designer is the visual workflow authoring environment used to design and maintain Agents within IB-X.

It provides a graphical workspace for building automation workflows, AI-powered processes, integrations, human-in-the-loop workflows, and enterprise orchestration solutions.

Using Agent Designer, users can define:

  • Workflow execution paths
  • Business rules
  • Decision logic
  • Human tasks
  • AI interactions
  • System integrations
  • Process automation logic

The visual design experience improves maintainability, collaboration, troubleshooting, and operational visibility across automation teams.

Whether you are building a simple automation workflow, an AI-powered Agent, a business process involving multiple stakeholders, or an enterprise integration workflow, Agent Designer provides the tools required to design, test, and maintain the solution.

Enabling Agent Designer Feature​

The Agent Designer feature is not enabled in the AI Command Center by default.

Administrators must activate the feature before users can create or edit Agents.

Opening Agent Designer​

Agent Designer opens automatically whenever you create a new Agent or edit an existing Agent.

A new Agent can be created using the global New Agent action available throughout the AI Command Center.

Existing Agents can be opened for editing from the Agents page.

Once opened, Agent Designer provides the workspace used to design, configure, test, and maintain Agent workflows.
