Getting Started
From zero to your AI agent running in about 90 seconds.
Welcome to Simple Agent. This guide covers everything you need to create, train, and publish your first AI agent.
Prerequisites
- A valid email address
- A public URL, PDF, or text to train the agent (you can add this later)
- A website to paste the widget into (you can test in the dashboard first)
No developer account, credit card, or paid plan required to get started.
Create your account
- Go to simple-agent.me
- Join early access
- The team prioritizes qualified workspaces while self-serve billing is finalized
- Once approved, access uses passwordless magic link
We don't use passwords. The magic link is more secure and there's nothing to forget.
Create your first agent
After signing in, you'll see the creation panel:
1. Agent name
Choose a name that will appear to your users. It can be your business name, a fictional character, or a product name.
Examples: Simple Agent Support, Ana from the Store, Docs Bot.
2. Website URL (optional)
If you provide a URL, the system automatically extracts:
- Favicon → agent avatar
- Primary color → widget color
- Site name → name suggestion
You can skip this and configure manually later.
Add training sources
The agent learns from the content you provide. There are three types:
URL
Paste any public URL. The crawler will respect robots.txt and crawl accessible pages.
- Default depth: up to 100 pages
- JavaScript support (headless crawl)
- Automatic update: every 7 days (configurable)
Drag or click to upload. Maximum size: 50MB per file, up to 10 files at a time.
- Extracts text, tables, and heading structure
- Automatic OCR for scanned PDFs
- Password support: enter the password at upload time
Direct text
Paste any content in the text box. Useful for FAQs, internal policies, and support scripts.
Test before publishing
The dashboard has a permanent Playground in the right column of the Agent Builder. Use it to:
- Ask test questions before activating the widget
- Verify that sources are covering the expected content
- Calibrate tone of voice and fallback responses
The agent responds while training. You don't need to wait for the crawl to finish before testing.
Publish the widget
- In the agent panel, click the Embed tab
- Copy the one-line snippet
- Paste it before
</body>on your site
<script
src="https://simple-agent.me/widget/loader.js"
data-agent-id="YOUR-AGENT-ID"
async
></script>
Lazy loading: The widget loads via requestIdleCallback after your page's main content. Zero impact on LCP.
