Introduction

Building and deploying AI Agents could be complex! On the watsonx.ai platform one can build and deploy an agent in less than 15 minutes. This series of documents show the users how to proceed.

Part 1 — Preparation of the platform

Access the watsonx.ai service (either an existing one or provision a new one).

Assuming the user is familiar with the IBM Cloud interface.
