# Agent Builder

> Create custom AI agents without code using the FlowX Agent Builder - a no-code/low-code platform for business users.

<Warning>
  **Preview**

  Agent Builder is currently in preview and may change before general availability.
</Warning>

The FlowX Agent Builder is a no-code/low-code platform that enables business users to create custom AI agents without relying on IT or data science teams.

    end

    D --> Chat
    D --> Workflows
    D --> API2[REST API]
```

Agents connect to your data through multiple integration options:

* **Knowledge Bases** - Ground responses in your documents using RAG
* **MCP servers** - Connect external tools via Model Context Protocol
* **REST APIs** - Call any HTTP endpoint
* **FlowX Database** - Query and store structured data
* **Kafka** - Event-driven integrations

## What can you build?

Agent Builder allows you to create specialized AI agents that can:
