Set up an agent

Five decisions, all changeable later. Everything else is better set once you can see real retrievals — which is the next page, not this one.

01Name it

How you will find it on the agents page. Versions you save later group under this name.

02Answer model

One model for now, chosen because it runs on a laptop rather than because it is the largest. It downloads once, on your users' first visit, and is cached after.

03How it finds things

Both keyword and semantic is the usual answer — they fail in different places, and together they cover each other.

04How much it reads, and how widely

The token budget caps how much retrieved text reaches the model per question — larger is more thorough and slower. Breadth is how readily the pipeline widens a thin result set.

05Prompt instructions — optional

Added to every question. Use it for tone, formatting, or domain vocabulary. It cannot remove the grounding rule: the agent answers only from retrieved passages and says so when they do not cover the question — that is what makes an answer trustworthy and it is not editable.
