Build with chat first

This tutorial takes a brand-new Oxygen user from sign-up to a working agent without writing a line of YAML. The Oxygen Builder agent generates the agent for you from a natural-language description.

​

1. Sign up

Go to app.oxygen-hq.com and create a workspace. First-time onboarding will prompt you for an LLM API key and a database connection.

​

2. Open the Builder

From the home page, click Build in the chat panel mode toggle. The Builder is a copilot that edits your workspace files for you.

​

3. Describe the agent you want

Type something like:

Build an agent that answers questions about my orders table. It should be able to filter by region and date.

The Builder will scaffold a new agent file, propose the SQL tools, and show you a single “Approve” prompt to commit the changes to your workspace.

​

4. Test it

Switch back to Ask mode, pick the new agent, and ask it a question. Refine the system instructions from the IDE if needed.
