No coding required. This walks through building and testing an AI agent entirely in the console - the first step toward turning a problem AI can solve into something you can offer other people.

1. Sign in

Sign in to the console at console.duraton.ai.

2. Add a model provider key

There is no default model - an agent names its provider and model explicitly, and runs on a key you provide. In the sidebar, open Credentials, then New credential. Submit Add credential.

3. Create the agent

In the sidebar, open Agents, then New agent. The form has four sections: The Model section is where the model is named, not defaulted: pick a Provider, a Model for that provider, then the API key you added in step 2 - the list is filtered to credentials matching the provider you chose, with a Manage API keys link if you need to add another. Changing the provider clears the picked model and key, so they can’t drift out of sync. Submit Create agent.

4. Try it, before publishing

The agent detail page opens with a Draft badge. Use Test this agent on the right to send it a message and see how it responds. Nothing here is saved or published - it’s a scratch conversation, reset on reload, so you can iterate freely on the prompt and instructions.

5. Publish

Once you’re happy with it, click Publish. The badge changes to Live, and every publish is recorded under Releases on the same page, so you can see what shipped and when.
Editing a published agent’s form and submitting again saves a new draft (the button reads Save draft) without touching what is live - publish again when you want the draft to go live.
