Duplicate Agents
You can create agents from templates or by duplicating existing agents. These methods provide starting points that you can customize for your specific use case.
Prerequisites
- The application includes the
genaiPlatformdependency package. - You have started an application in C3 AI Studio.
- You have appropriate permissions to create agents.
For detailed setup instructions, see Create Agents.
Create an agent from a template
Templates provide pre-configured starting points for common use cases such as SEO planning, data validation, or content analysis. Use templates when you need a proven configuration for a specific scenario.
To create an agent from a template:
- Navigate to Agents > Gallery.
- Select the Templates section.
- Select Duplicate on the template card that matches your use case.
- The agent opens in the Agent Workbench as a new draft.
- Customize the name, description, and configuration as needed.
For configuration details, see Configure Agents.
Duplicate an existing agent
Duplicate an agent to create a copy of an agent that already exists in your application. Duplicate from Store to copy a finalized agent, or duplicate from Drafts to create a copy of an in-progress agent. Use duplication when you want to create variations of existing agents or customize agents created by other users.
To duplicate an agent:
- Navigate to Agents > Gallery.
- Locate the agent in Store or Drafts.
- Select the menu button (three dots) on the agent card.
- Select Duplicate.
- The agent opens in the Agent Workbench as a new draft.
- Update the name and customize as needed.
If the source agent includes a data model, configure or update the duplicated agent's data model in Agent Workbench before finishing configuration. For detailed steps, see Configure Data Models in Agent Workbench in the genAiSearch documentation (genai-dev-configure-agent-data-model.c3doc.md).
You can only duplicate draft agents you created or if you have GenaiCore.AgentAdmin or C3.AppAdmin roles.
