Getting Started
Set up your first AI agent on Thotis RAG in minutes.
Prerequisites
- A Thotis account with a team workspace
- At least one dataset uploaded and indexed in RagFlow
Step 1 — Access the RAG console
Navigate to your team workspace and select RAG in the sidebar. This is the control plane where you manage all your agents and datasets.
Step 2 — Create your first agent
- Go to Agents and click New Agent.
- Fill in:
- Name: a human-readable label (e.g. "Orientation Parcoursup")
- Key: a URL-safe slug (auto-generated from the name)
- Engine type: choose
chatfor a simple Q&A assistant oragentfor a workflow-based agent
- Write a system prompt that defines the agent's behavior and tone.
- Optionally set an opener message shown when a new conversation starts.
Step 3 — Bind datasets
Go to the agent's Sources tab and attach one or more datasets. These are the knowledge bases the agent will search when answering questions.
Step 4 — Test in the Playground
Open the Playground from the sidebar. Select your agent and send a test message. Verify that the agent retrieves relevant chunks and produces a useful answer.
Step 5 — Publish
When you are satisfied with the agent's behavior:
- Go to the agent detail page.
- Click Publish. This pushes the configuration to RagFlow and creates a versioned runtime manifest.
- If the mobile backend is configured, a sync webhook delivers the manifest automatically.
Next steps
- Fine-tune the agent's LLM settings in the Settings tab (model, temperature, top_p).
- Set up the embed widget to expose the agent on your website.
- Monitor performance in the Analytics dashboard.
