What You’ll Build
By the end of this AI agent tutorial, you’ll have an autonomous agent that:
- Fetches real-time financial data automatically
- Analyzes trends using Python (pandas, matplotlib)
- Generates professional visualizations
- Works without any API keys or coding
Skill level: Beginner (no coding required)
Prerequisites
Before you begin building your AI agent, make sure you have:- Splox account (Sign up free)
Step 1: Choose the DevOps Agent Template
- Navigate to the Templates page
- Find and click the DevOps Agent card (under Development category)
- On the template details page, click Use Template
Quick link: Open DevOps Agent template directly
Step 2: Activate Chat Mode
In the bottom toolbar, click the chat bubble icon (5th icon from left). A chat panel will slide in from the right side of the screen. What’s happening: Chat Mode lets you interact with your AI agent using natural language - no need to configure nodes or write code.
Step 3: Give Your AI Agent a Task
In the chat input field at the bottom, type:- Fetch Bitcoin price data from a public source
- Use Python (pandas/matplotlib) to analyze the data
- Generate a professional chart
- Save it as an image you can download
Step 4: Watch Your AI Agent Work Autonomously
Your AI agent will immediately start working on the task. You’ll see:- Real-time tool usage in the chat (e.g., “Fetching data…”, “Running Python analysis…”)
- Active nodes lighting up on the workflow canvas (left side)
- Progress updates as the agent uses different tools
- Searches for reliable Bitcoin price data sources
- Fetches historical price data
- Writes and executes Python code (pandas, matplotlib)
- Generates a professional multi-chart visualization
- Saves and shares the result
Step 5: Review Your AI-Generated Analysis
Once complete, the agent will respond with:- Detailed analysis of Bitcoin price trends
- Key insights highlighting important patterns
- Professional visualization embedded in the chat
- Downloadable file (click the filename to save)
