# Create Your First Agent

> Set up an agent to start handling conversations with Eva AI.

An agent is your AI assistant: the virtual person who talks with your customers. Creating it takes a moment; then you set it up your way.

## Create the agent

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to AI Agents">
    In the sidebar, click **AI Agents**.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Create it">
    Click **Create AI agent**. Eva creates your agent and takes you straight to its setup.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Set it up

Once created, you land in your agent's configuration tabs. These are the ones that matter to get going:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Behavior" icon="sliders-horizontal" href="/en/your-agent/behavior">
    Define how it greets people, what tone it uses, and what it should and shouldn't do.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Knowledge" icon="book-open" href="/en/your-agent/knowledge">
    Give it your business information so it answers accurately.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Catalog" icon="shopping-bag" href="/en/your-agent/catalog">
    Connect your products so it can recommend them to your customers.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Channels" icon="rocket" href="/en/channels/whatsapp">
    Connect it to WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, or your website.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Tip>
  You don't have to make it perfect all at once. Start with the basics, [test it](/en/your-agent/testing), and adjust once you see how it replies.
</Tip>

## And then...

When your agent is ready, [connect it to a channel](/en/channels/whatsapp) so it starts helping real customers.
