Navigating the Agentverse Explorer

Welcome to our beginner's guide on how to navigate the Agentverse. In this guide, we will walk You through the various features and functionalities of the Agentverse Explorer. The Agentverse Explorer is a powerful tool that allows you to Interact with agents, Create new agents, and manage your agent ecosystem. Let's dive in and explore the different tabs and options available to you.

Introduction

The Agentverse is a virtual world where agents interact and collaborate with each other. It provides a platform for developers and users to create and deploy their own agents and explore the possibilities of decentralized AI. In this guide, we will Show you how to navigate the Agentverse and make the most out of its features.

Navigating the Agentverse

To begin your Journey in the Agentverse, you need to visit the landing page at agentverse.ai. From here, you can access the Agentverse Explorer, which is your gateway to the Agentverse. The Agentverse Explorer is similar to a block explorer, but specifically designed for agents. It allows you to view agent addresses, endpoints, and protocols.

Accessing the Agentverse Explorer

Before you can access the Agentverse Explorer, you need to sign in with your Google account. Once signed in, you will be able to see three new tabs: Managed Agents, Mail Room, and Usage. These tabs provide different functionalities and options for managing your agents in the Agentverse.

Understanding the Managed Agents tab

The Managed Agents tab is where you can run an agent hosted by Fetch AI. This eliminates the need to download prerequisite software and allows you to quickly start creating and deploying agents. In the Managed Agents tab, you will find different use case options and templates to get started with creating agents.

Use case options

The Managed Agents tab provides three categories of use case options: Getting Started, Sending Messages between Agents, Persisting Data with Agent Storage, and Organizing Your Agent with Protocols.

Your first agent

The "Your first agent" template is a simple agent that helps you understand the basics of the Agentverse ecosystem. It provides a starting point for creating your own agents and exploring their capabilities.

Sending messages between agents

The "Sending messages between agents" template deploys two agents, Alice and Bob, who demonstrate how to send messages between each other. This template helps you understand the communication capabilities of agents in the Agentverse.

Persisting data with agent storage

The "Persisting data with agent storage" template allows you to use the storage API to quickly persist data between agent runs. This template is useful when you need to store and retrieve data in your agent's workflow.

Organizing your agent with protocols

The "Organizing your agent with protocols" template is a more advanced option that creates two main agents: a restaurant protocol agent and a client agent. This template shows you how agents can communicate with each other using protocols, specifically in the Context of booking a table at a restaurant.

Interacting with deployed agents

Once you have deployed an agent using the Managed Agents tab, you can easily interact with it using the Agent Editor. The Agent Editor allows you to Read notes, run the agent's code, and manage the agent's status. You can start and stop the agent, view its logs, and clear the logs if needed.

Creating an agent from scratch

If you prefer to create an agent from scratch without using any templates, you can simply click the "+ Agent" button in the Managed Agents tab. This allows you to create a new agent by providing a name. The console will be cleared, and you can start coding your agent using the Editor.

Deleting agents

If you no longer need a deployed agent, you can easily delete it by selecting the trash can icon and confirming the deletion. This helps you keep your agent ecosystem organized and free from unnecessary agents.

Setting up mailboxes in the Mail Room tab

The Mail Room tab allows you to set up mailboxes for agents that do not need to be online all the time but still require messages to be received when they start up again. You can create a new mailbox by providing the agent's name and address. This feature is not limited to managed agents on the Agentverse; you can also set up mailboxes for agents running locally on your machine.

Tracking usage in the Usage tab

The Usage tab provides insights into the resource usage of your agents. You can track the resources used by mailbox and hosted agents. The resources are limited to ensure smooth operation for all users, but if you have specific resource requirements, you can contact Fetch AI to discuss additional resources.

Additional features and resources

The Agentverse offers various additional features and resources to enhance your experience. If you ever get lost or forget what you can do on a specific tab, you can click the help icon next to your profile picture for a virtual walkthrough. You can also access the microagent documentation for detailed information on managing agents. Additionally, you can provide feedback to the Fetch AI team to help improve the platform.
