This guide shows you how to find, configure, and manage agents for your automation needs. ### Finding Agents #### Browse the Agent Gallery The Discover page is your gateway to all available agents: * All Agents: Browse the complete collection of public agents * My Agents: View agents you've created or deployed * Favorite Agents: Quick access to agents you've saved * Search: Find specific agents by name or function * Categories: Filter agents by use case (Finance, Operations, AI Agents, etc.)
#### Agent Cards Display Each agent card shows: * Agent name and type (Official/Community) * Brief description * Update timestamp * Action count (number of steps) * Creator badge (for official agents) #### Direct Links Agents can also be shared directly via links. Click any shared agent link to view and deploy it instantly. ### Understanding Agent Details When you click on an agent, you'll see a comprehensive preview:
#### Overview Section * Description: Detailed explanation of what the agent does * Use Cases: Who should use this agent and why * Requirements: Any prerequisites or necessary accounts #### Categories Tags that help you understand the agent's primary functions (e.g., Finance, Operations, AI Agents) #### Statistics * Actions: Number of workflow steps in the agent * Last Updated: When the agent was last modified * Usage Count: How many times it's been deployed (when available) #### Agent Steps Overview A high-level view of what the agent does: 1. Each step is numbered and shows its function type 2. Descriptions explain what happens at each stage 3. Only visible steps are shown (hidden logic remains private) ### Deploying an Agent #### Step 1: Click "Use Agent" When ready to deploy, click the blue "Use agent" button. This opens the configuration interface.
#### Step 2: Configure Required Inputs You'll only see fields that need your input: Common Input Types: * Schedule Settings: Choose frequency (hourly, daily, weekly, etc.) * Contact Information: Email addresses or Telegram handles for alerts * Wallet Addresses: Addresses to monitor or interact with * Thresholds: Price limits, percentages, or other numeric values * Token Selection: Choose from pre-configured options Example Configuration: Scheduled: Every 24 Hours Email: #### Step 3: Preview the Workflow (Optional) Toggle to Workflow View to see the complete automation logic: * Understand the full process flow * Verify the steps match your expectations * Note: This view is read-only #### Step 4: Deploy 1. Click the "Deploy" button 2. Give your agent instance a memorable name 3. Confirm deployment Your agent is now active and will run according to your configuration! ### Managing Deployed Agents #### Access Your Agents Find all your deployed agents in the Dashboard: * View running status * Monitor execution history * Check for any errors #### Edit Configuration Need to change settings? You can update your deployed agents: 1. Navigate to your agent in the Dashboard 2. Click to open the agent 3. Modify any configurable fields 4. Save changes Changes take effect immediately for future executions. #### Pause or Stop Agents Control your agents directly from the Dashboard: * Pause: Temporarily stop execution while keeping configuration * Delete: Permanently remove the agent instance ### Tips for Success #### Before Deploying * Read the full description to understand the agent's purpose * Check the steps overview to verify it matches your needs * Ensure you have necessary accounts (wallets, APIs, etc.) * Start with conservative settings (lower frequencies, higher thresholds) #### Common Configurations Monitoring Agents * Set reasonable check intervals to balance timeliness and action usage * Use specific wallet addresses rather than monitoring everything * Configure alert thresholds to avoid notification overload Trading Agents * Start with small amounts to test behavior * Set appropriate price limits and slippage tolerance * Ensure your wallet has sufficient funds for gas Analytics Agents * Choose report frequencies that match your decision-making cadence * Select relevant data sources and metrics * Configure delivery to your preferred communication channel #### Troubleshooting Agent Not Running? * Check if you've completed all required fields * Verify your wallet has funds for gas (if applicable) * Ensure external services (email, Telegram) are properly connected Not Receiving Alerts? * Confirm email address is correct * Check spam folders * Verify Telegram bot connection Unexpected Behavior? * Review the workflow view to understand logic * Check if thresholds or conditions are too restrictive * Contact the agent creator for complex issues ### Best Practices #### Start Simple * Deploy one agent at a time * Use default settings initially * Gradually adjust based on results #### Monitor Performance * Check execution logs regularly * Track action usage * Optimize schedules based on actual needs #### Security Considerations * Only enter information you're comfortable sharing * Verify official agents have the official badge * Review agent logic before entering sensitive data * Remember that wallet connections are always secure and isolated ### Next Steps: Learn how to build your own agents {% content-ref url="/pages/JNbze6Lbbb626oQDWeGj" %} [Creating Agents](/introduction/k3-agents/creating-agents.md) {% endcontent-ref %}
