# Agent Builder FAQs

## Agent Builder FAQs

### General Overview

What is the Sahara Agent Builder?

The Agent Builder is a no-code tool that lets anyone create, customize, and deploy AI agents using Sahara’s AI development platform. It’s built for fast iteration—no engineering required.

#### Do I need coding experience to use the Agent Builder?

No. The Agent Builder is fully no-code. If you’re more technical, you can extend capabilities through prompt engineering or by integrating registered models and datasets.

#### What is an AI agent in this context?

An agent is an interactive AI workflow that performs a specific task using a combination of prompts, models, tools, and optional datasets. You can think of it as a mini app powered by AI.

### Using the Agent Builder

#### How do I build an agent?

**Use the step-by-step interface to:**

1. Choose a base model
2. Add prompts and tools
3. Optionally connect datasets
4. Test and deploy the agent

#### Can I test my agent before deploying it?

Yes. The Agent Builder includes a built-in preview environment so you can interact with your agent before publishing it.

#### Can I use custom models or datasets?

Yes. You can register your own models and datasets on the [Sahara AI](https://saharaai.com/) platform, and then use them inside your agents.

### Ownership & Licensing

#### What happens when I publish an agent?

Once you publish an agent, it’s registered on-chain with a license that defines how others can use or remix it.

#### What licensing options are available?

**You can choose one of the following licenses:**

* Open Use – Free, unrestricted use
* Non-Commercial Remix – Remixing allowed, but not for commercial purposes
* Commercial Use – Use permitted for profit, remixing prohibited
* Commercial Remix – Full use and remixing rights with automatic royalty routing

#### Can I co-own an agent with others?

Yes. Sahara allows for multi-contributor attribution. When registering an agent, you can add co-owners who will share licensing rights and future royalties.

### Monetization (Coming Soon)

#### How will monetization work?

Once monetization is live, users can pay to use or license agents. Revenue will be automatically distributed via smart contracts based on licensing terms and attribution.

#### Will I earn royalties if someone uses or remixes my agent?

Yes, if you’ve selected a commercial license with remixing enabled, royalties will be routed to all upstream contributors based on the asset graph.

### Troubleshooting & Support

#### My agent isn’t working as expected—what should I do?

First, review your prompt logic and dataset connections. If the issue persists, check for any platform-wide issues in the support forum or reach out via the help desk.

#### Is there a limit to how many agents I can create?

There are currently rate limits during the open bet. These limits are temporary and will be adjusted as the platform scales. You can apply for a higher limit within the platform itself.
