​
Two Paths to Build Agents

xpander.ai supports two main paths, depending on how you prefer to build agents:

No-Code Agent Builder

Production-ready agents via Visual Workbench - no code requiredBest for: Chatbots, support agents, DevOps assistants, task automation

Code + Containers

Use your preferred framework with xpander’s backend infrastructureBest for: Custom logic, multi-modal apps, deterministic pipelines

​
No-Code Agent Builder

Build and deploy production-ready agents directly in the UI without writing code. Select tools, edit the system prompt, enable memories and other advanced features - the platform manages the Agno runtime for you.
More frameworks will be added to the no-code offering soon. Join the beta to get early access.
1

Create your agent

Use the Workbench at app.xpander.ai to set up your agent’s instructions, model, tools, and knowledge bases through the intuitive web interface.
Agent Workbench

The Agent Workbench - configure your agent without code

2

Configure the backend

Set up your agent’s capabilities:
  • AI Model - Choose from OpenAI, Anthropic, or bring your own keys
  • System Prompt - Define your agent’s role, personality, and behavior
  • Tools - Add connectors from the catalog (Slack, GitHub, Jira, etc.)
  • Knowledge Base - Upload documents for RAG capabilities
  • Memory - Enable conversation history and user context
3

Connect task sources

Choose how users will interact with your agent:
  • Slack - Deploy directly to your workspace
  • Web UI - Get a hosted chat interface
  • Webhooks - Trigger from external systems
  • API - Invoke programmatically
  • Scheduled Tasks - Run on a schedule
4

Test and deploy

Test your agent in the Workbench chat, then deploy with one click. Your agent is live with automatic scaling and monitoring.

​
Using the API

You can also create and invoke no-code agents programmatically: 
curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.xpander.ai/v1/agents \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'x-api-key: <your-api-key>' \
  --data '{
  "name": "my-cool-agent",
  "deployment_type": "serverless",
  "framework": "agno"
}'

​
Code + Containers

If you need custom logic, use multiple frameworks, or require deterministic behavior: 
# Create a new agent and select a framework template
xpander agent new
Available templates:
  • Agno - The fastest agent framework
  • Strands - AWS Strands integration
  • Google ADK - Google’s Agent Development Kit
  • OpenAI Agents SDK - OpenAI’s agent framework
  • LangChain - Popular LLM orchestration framework
