Create a LoopAgent

Ways to create

Like the other agents, LoopAgent supports both Create from template and Create from blank:

Create from template: pick a LoopAgent template preset by the platform for a quick start.
Create from blank: start from scratch by filling in a name, description, and group.

Steps to create:

Log in to the GPTBots platform, click Agent in the left navigation bar, then click Create Agent.
Choose Create from blank and select LoopAgent as the agent type.
Fill in the name, description, and group, then click Create to finish.

A newly created LoopAgent automatically comes with a ready-to-run default configuration (default model, default loop limits, and so on), so you can start chatting in the debug chat as soon as it is created.

Production mode and Test mode

When creating, you can choose Production mode (default) or Test mode:

Mode	Description
Production mode	The default mode, used for real customer-facing business.
Test mode	For testing only. Only a Test-mode LoopAgent can be updated through the open platform's Agent import / publish APIs.

Note: the mode is fixed at creation time and cannot be changed afterward. To switch, you can only rebuild a new LoopAgent. The two modes behave identically in conversation; the only difference is whether they are open to open-platform API operations.

Settings page overview

Once you enter a LoopAgent, its configuration is concentrated on the settings page, which mainly includes:

Agent Brain: model, loop limits, and a system-prompt preview. See Agent Brain.
Persona: defines the agent's role and voice. See Persona.
Capabilities: skills, knowledge bases, tools / MCP, workflows, data tables, key events, human service, and more — enable and configure them as needed.

After configuring, verify the results with the debug chat on the right, and publish only once everything checks out. For the difference between saving and publishing, see Save and Publish.
