Say hello to the Admin Agent

Send your first message to the Admin Agent, your built-in teammate, whose job is helping you build the agents your business actually needs.

Plus: three prompts that put the Admin Agent's tools to work: building agents, suggesting what to assign them, and planning what comes next.

Audience Everyone
Time ~2 min
Prerequisites An Auxot account. An AI model connected to it (ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, or similar). If you're on the Free tier, you'll have connected this yourself during signup (or you'll do it in [Connect a cloud AI model](/tutorials/connect-a-cloud-ai-model)). On Team, Business, or Enterprise, whoever set up your account has usually connected one already.
You'll end up with A working chat session. Plus three prompts you'll keep coming back to.

When a tutorial shows italic text in quotation marks, it usually mirrors a label or helper string inside Auxot. Product copy changes between releases — if something reads differently in your workspace, trust what you see on screen.

Callouts with a Worth knowing gold accent are meant as must-read context before you move on. Blockquotes that open with Tip are lighter, optional depth.

Why this matters

Your Auxot account ships with the Admin Agent. It knows your account, can answer Auxot questions from tools that read your live data, and can build custom agents in your account from chat. It’s not a configuration form to fill out. A conversation that ends with something built.

The work you want to automate lives in the custom agents you’ll build next. The Admin Agent is the one that builds them, keeps your setup running, and answers your Auxot questions along the way. When you’re not sure what to build first, ask it. When something isn’t working, ask it.

Today, send your first message and see a reply. The next time you describe a piece of your work you want off your plate, leave the conversation with the agent that takes it on.

Quick start

  1. Sign in: open Auxot in your browser and log in.
  2. Open chat: click Chat in the left menu.
  3. Select the Admin Agent: make sure the agent picker at the top reads “Admin Agent.”
  4. Send a message: type hello and press Enter.
  5. Watch the reply come in: words should start appearing within a second or two.

Done? You should see a reply from the Admin Agent appear below your message, typed out word by word.

The agent can do that?

The Admin Agent has tools to act on your Auxot account. It can build agents, suggest what to assign them, and help you plan what comes next. Here’s a prompt for each.

1. The first-agent builder

I run [your business or role]. The work that keeps slipping is [the thing you’ve been meaning to fix]. Build me an agent for that, end to end, based on what I just told you. Then walk me through what you set up so I can refine it.

Why it’s non-obvious: Most people expect to fill out the agent-creation form themselves. The Admin Agent has tools to do the whole thing for you in one go: name, instructions, attached context, and tool access. By the end of the conversation, you have a working agent in your account, not a draft. You refine after seeing it work.

2. What should I assign my agent?

I have an agent for [your business or role]. What three kinds of work should I assign it? For each, tell me what the work looks like day-to-day and what the agent would need to handle it well.

Why it’s non-obvious: Building an agent is the easy half. The harder question is what to actually assign it: recurring work that fits this agent’s skills and your actual workload, not a generic list. The Admin Agent can ask you the right questions to surface what should go on this agent’s plate, specific to your role and how your account is set up.

3. The week-one planner

What should I do in my first week with Auxot? Lay out a plan: what to build, what to skip, what order. Don’t recommend anything I won’t actually finish. Put the smallest thing that proves Auxot is worth my time on day one.

Why it’s non-obvious: Most setup guides hand you the same plan they hand everyone else. The Admin Agent can see your account, knows what’s connected, and can tell you what to focus on for your specific situation. The “what I won’t actually finish” constraint forces realism. A finished day-one task beats a wishlist of week-long ambitions.

What the Admin Agent is for

The Admin Agent ships with every Auxot account. It knows how your account is set up, so you can ask it to walk you through connecting an AI model, build a custom agent end to end, troubleshoot what’s misbehaving, or answer how-do-I questions about Auxot itself. It is the agent you ask about Auxot itself: always available, useful the moment you ask, and the one that points you toward the right custom agent when your question is really about getting work done. Custom agents you and your team build later have their own instructions and their own jobs. The Admin Agent stays the one you ask about Auxot itself.

Troubleshooting

  • A banner about no AI model being connected: Auxot doesn’t have an AI model (like ChatGPT, Claude, or Grok) connected yet. Fix: if you admin the account yourself, connect one in Settings → Providers (see Connect a cloud AI model). If someone else admins it, ask them.
  • Message sends but no reply: usually Auxot can’t reach the AI model. Fix: open System Health in the left menu and look for anything flagged red.
  • Reply arrives all at once instead of word-by-word: the live connection between your browser and Auxot isn’t working. Fix: refresh the page. If that doesn’t help, the fix is on the Auxot server side. Ask whoever admins your account to look into it.
  • The Admin Agent doesn’t appear in the agent picker: your account doesn’t have permission to use it. Fix: if you admin the account, open Settings → Agents and check your own access. If someone else admins it, ask them (and see Invite your first teammate).

Variations & edge cases

  • Already have multiple agents set up? The agent picker remembers your last selection per session. Pinning a default is on the roadmap.
  • Want to try a specific AI model? The Admin Agent uses whichever model is set as the default on your account. To try a different one, make a test agent tied to that model (see Create an agent from scratch).
  • Chat history: Your conversations are saved and only visible to you. Clearing history happens one conversation at a time, not all at once.

Walkthrough

Step 1: Sign in

Open Auxot in your browser and sign in. Whether you signed up on your own or a teammate invited you, you just need a working login.

Step 2: Open chat

Click Chat in the left menu. This is where you’ll talk to any agent: the Admin Agent today, plus any custom agents you or your team set up later.

Step 3: Select the Admin Agent

At the top of the chat window is the agent picker. On a new account, the Admin Agent is selected by default. If you see a different agent, click the picker and choose Admin Agent from the list.

Step 4: Send your first message

Type hello into the box at the bottom and press Enter, or click Send.

Step 5: Watch the reply come in

Within a second or two, the Admin Agent’s reply should start showing up word by word, the way you see AI assistants type in other apps. If yours arrives all at once after a long pause, something’s off with the live connection between your browser and Auxot. See Go deeper → Troubleshooting below.
