How to Create an AI Agent from Scratch

July 4, 2025

Creating an AI Agent from scratch gives you complete control over how it works and what it does. With Jotform AI Agents, you can automate tasks, answer questions, or walk users through a process—making things quicker and easier for everyone. You’ll start by choosing the agent’s role based on what you want it to do. Then, you can train it with the right info so it responds accurately and adapts as needed. A little fine-tuning along the way helps make sure the experience feels smooth and user-friendly.


You can create an AI Agent from scratch in a few easy steps. Here’s how to do it:

  1. On your My Workspace page, click on Create on the top-left side of the screen.
