In **Define**, you set the agent’s basic details (name/description) and choose the inference provider + model.

## 1) Enter agent details

Fill in the basics so others can understand what this agent does.

- **Agent Name**: choose a clear, specific name 
  - Example: **Healthcare AI Assistant**
- **Description**: one line explaining the agent’s job 
  - Example: **Helps patients find the right doctor and book appointments.**

## 2) Configure agent options (optional)

For a **Text Agent**, these settings are usually not required:

- **Text Agent Streaming** — enable only if you want responses to appear in real time.
- **Enable Voice** — used for **Voice Agents** (not required for Text Agents).

## 3) Select text inference provider

Choose the provider that will run text inference for this agent.

- Example: **Gemini**
