🧪 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:
Write a sarcastic crypto tweet that roasts overhyped blockchain startups in under 280 characters.
Or something sweeter:
Generate a limerick that teaches kids about saving money.
You can add:
  • 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:
  1. Add a TTS block to your agent workflow
  2. Paste your ElevenLabs API key (get one at elevenlabs.io)
  3. Choose a voice model from options like:
    • Friendly teacher
    • Robotic pirate
    • Smooth jazz narrator
    • Energetic Gen Z influencer
🔊 This creates emotional resonance and ensures content is audibly validated. Voice Selection Tips:
  • 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:
  1. Connect your Tavus API in Bolt
  2. Use the TTS output as the voice layer
  3. Auto-generate branded or character videos
Great for:
  • 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:
  1. Deploy via Bolt to Supabase (backend infrastructure)
  2. Use the AlgoForge pipeline to trigger:
    • ✅ Hashing and on-chain minting
    • ✅ Agent ID creation
    • ✅ Remixing settings (enable/disable remix permissions)
📡 Your agent is now live, searchable, and remixable on the AlgoForge network.
