Quickstart

Create and run a cloud agent from the browser — no code required to get started.

Step 1: Sign in​

Go to cloud.adal.sylph.ai and sign in with Google or email.

Step 2: Create an agent​

In the Agents tab, click + New agent and fill in:

FieldWhat to enter
NameA label for your agent (e.g., Support Concierge)
Custom system promptYour agent's persona and rules — see Custom System Prompt
Custom tools (optional)Python tools the agent can call — see Custom Tools

The system prompt defines how the agent behaves. The tools define what the agent can do. Together they make the agent yours.

Example system prompt for a sales concierge:

You are the Lumen Sales Concierge for a premium audio storefront.
Help customers find products, explain features, and build quotes.
Always verify stock before promising availability.
When a customer shows purchase intent, capture their details for follow-up.

Step 3: Start a session​

Open your agent and click New session. Choose a model from the models list. The session starts instantly — AdaL provisions a persistent agent worker in the cloud.

Step 4: Chat​

Type a message and send. The agent responds, calling your custom tools as needed. Sessions are persistent — you can resume them later.

Step 5: Use the HTTP API​

For programmatic access, use the API tab in the cloud app. There you can:

  • Download the full HTML API documentation for every endpoint
  • Find your authentication credentials
  • See example requests for creating agents, starting sessions, and streaming chat
# Example: start a session and stream a message (see API tab for exact endpoints)
curl -X POST https://cloud.adal.sylph.ai/api/sessions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADAL_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"agent_id": "...", "model": "claude-sonnet-4-6"}'
tip

The API tab in the cloud app is the source of truth for endpoints, request/response shapes, and authentication. Download the full HTML docs there for offline reference.

What You Built​
