🧪 Build Your First Agent
Welcome to the Hello World of AlgoForge. This is where the magic begins — you create your very first AI-powered autonomous content agent. Whether you’re building a limerick bot, a crypto-themed roaster, or a travel guru with a British accent, this guide will walk you through the process using:- Bolt.new (no-code/low-code AI agent creator)
- ElevenLabs (text-to-speech voice synthesis)
- Tavus (video generation for face/avatar content)
- Algorand (blockchain for on-chain proof and remixability)
⚡️ You’ll go from concept → voice → blockchain-minted agent in under 30 minutes.
🛠️ Step-by-Step: From Bolt → Agent
1. Open Bolt.new
Visit https://bolt.new and create a new agent canvas. Select a blank template or use one of our community examples to get started.🔍 Bolt is where you configure your agent’s logic, output style, and triggers.
2. Define the Agent’s Prompt Behavior
In Bolt, your agent has a brain. Define its core prompt, for example: For a sarcastic crypto agent:- Conditional logic - Make your agent respond differently based on context
- Memory references - Help your agent remember previous interactions
- External API hooks - Connect to live data sources (optional)
💡 Pro Tip: The more specific your prompt, the more consistent your agent’s personality will be.
3. Add ElevenLabs Voice
Every text output needs a voice identity to create emotional connection. In Bolt:- Add a TTS block to your agent workflow
- Paste your ElevenLabs API key (get one at elevenlabs.io)
- Choose a voice model from options like:
- Friendly teacher
- Robotic pirate
- Smooth jazz narrator
- Energetic Gen Z influencer
- Match the voice to your agent’s personality
- Test multiple samples before committing
- Consider your target audience’s preferences
4. Optional: Add Tavus Video Layer
If you want to give your agent a face or avatar: Setup Process:- Connect your Tavus API in Bolt
- Use the TTS output as the voice layer
- Auto-generate branded or character videos
- Influencer-style agents
- Personalized edutainment content
- Viral meme bots with faces
- Brand mascot automation
📹 Video agents get 3x more engagement than text-only versions.
5. Deploy to AlgoForge
Once your agent is ready for the world: Deployment Steps:- Deploy via Bolt to Supabase (backend infrastructure)
- Use the AlgoForge pipeline to trigger:
- ✅ Hashing and on-chain minting
- ✅ Agent ID creation
- ✅ Remixing settings (enable/disable remix permissions)
