Modify an AI agent in AI Agent Studio to suit your changing business needs.

## Antes de Iniciar

Role required: sns_aia.admin

## Procedimento

1. Navigate to AllAI Agent StudioCreate and manageAI agents
2. Select the AI agent that you want to modify.
3. Modify the fields of the different sections of the Guided Setup, making changes to the fields for your requirements.  

   The guided setup is the same as the one for creating an AI agent:
   * [Define the AI agent's specialty](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/d6b~0KwUUP8fX7rTTHJcJg "In the guided setup for an AI agent, write a clear description defining your agent and its role. You can also configure supported LLMs, enable third-party access, and manage long-term memory.").
   * [Define the AI agent security controls](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/YI7d7AFYLQVNMUUqkRTn3A "In the guided setup for an AI agent, define security controls for who can access the AI agent and what data the AI agent has access to.").
   * [(Optional) Add a trigger to automatically invoke your AI agent if a specified event occurs.](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/5rgQGAieSrc5yraW5kmf5Q "In the guided setup for an AI agent, add triggers to run the AI agent automatically when certain conditions are met.").
   * [Determine whether you want to use the Now Assist in Virtual Agent chat assistants and/or as UI action, set the processing messages, and activate your AI agent.](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/HwPupudTPUtmUJdh5hW6oA "In the guided setup for an AI agent, activate the AI agent to use in an assistant in Now Assist for Virtual Agent, and set the processing messages.").

   Nota:  
   Some fields aren't editable if the agent is associated with a Now Assist application. If you want to make more modifications, [duplicate the agentic workflow](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/CituCGRe1pWS0Jt9dEcvlg "Duplicate an existing agentic workflow in AI Agent Studio to save time by not having to manually configure or create agentic workflows.") and make changes to the duplicate.  
   * For the List of steps field in the Define specialty step, you can create multiple versions of the same AI agent without losing previous versions. Creating versions enables you to test different instructions to evaluate performance. See [Version control for AI agents and agentic workflows](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/uX9YniUtT4~UUtGCazrzfQ "Version control enables you to track changes made to instructions sent to the LLM for AI agents and agentic workflows.") for more information.
   * For more guidance on creating effective instructions, see the [general guidelines for creating AI agents and agentic workflows](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/nNasEloTB7j8okzURW_l3A "By following some general guidelines for creating AI agents and agentic workflows, you can create clear and effective instructions that help maximize their efficiency and effectiveness.").
   * For the access control lists (ACLs), you can edit the security fields and define who can access the AI agent and edit the entity to run the AI agent as a dynamic user or an AI user. For more information, see [Implement access control in Now Assist AI agents](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/22j7AP47_LhOTCRi_NkWGw "Implement security controls for AI agents and agentic workflows through access control lists (ACLs) and user identities to increase alignment with the access control-based security measures in the agentic system.").

   You can navigate through the steps of the Guided Setup with the Continue and Back buttons.
4. Navigate to the last step and select Test to save your changes and begin testing your modified agent.

## Resultado

Your agent is modified and ready to test.

## O que Fazer Depois

You can [test an execution of your AI agent manually](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/cKbj82uA3k2zRtzDBZ4jUg "Analyze the execution of an AI agent so you can see that it functions the way that you defined it.") or [test the user access](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/nUVW54mJJaj24yu6PRquAg "Run a manual test to verify that only the users you want to access the AI agent can do so."). Once you've determined that the AI agent has the basic functionality you expect, you can [evaluate the AI agent using automated tests](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/he2kFV6WLQwi6a4v1pckPQ "Evaluate agentic workflow and AI agents against datasets of your choice to monitor performance and evaluate against different benchmarks.").
