Getting started
AlphaAgent is an operating system for agents that mirrors how a high-performing team works: a specialist grounded on your doctrines and policies that run at scale privately in your AWS account. AlphaAgent Studio is where you work with those specialists; read this the first time you open one.
Before you start: your administrator has assigned you to the deployment in the Organisations console (After the deploy) and you can sign in to your organisation's Microsoft account.
Steps
- Open the Studio address. Studio shows "Redirecting to sign-in…", then a full-page "Loading..." while your session starts.
- Sign in with your company login.
- You land on Home, or on the deep link you opened before signing in.
What you should see
Home shows a moving backdrop and a greeting ("Welcome to AlphaAgent", or a time-of-day greeting with your first name). Everything else is in the dock and the sidebar.
The dock (right edge)
One tile per area, top to bottom.
| Tile | Opens |
|---|---|
| Agent Management | Your agents: Agents. A fresh Studio has none. |
| Workflows | Multi-step runs: Workflows. |
| AMPGs | Knowledge graphs, Augmented Multi Resolution Property Graphs: Knowledge graphs. |
| Data Connectors | Databases, APIs and cloud accounts: Data connectors. |
| Chat | Conversations with an agent: Chat. On a fresh Studio its picker reads "No agents yet." with a Create an agent button. |
| Inbox | Runs that need you, are running or just finished; the badge counts them, 1 to 99, then "99+": Inbox. |
| Agent Store | Curated agents to copy: Agent Store. |
| Libraries | Resource Stores shared with you and your pulls: Libraries and sharing. |
| Documentation | This site, in a new tab. |
| Profile | Who you are, deployment details and Sign out (below). |
Execution environments have no tile: open Agent Management, then Environments.
The sidebar (left edge)
Expand or collapse it with the toggle at its top. Its entries follow the open area: Agent Management (Agents, Environments), Workflow Management (Workflows), Agent Store (External Agents), Libraries (Resource Stores, My Pulls), Data Connectors (Connectors), Augmented Multi Resolution Property Graphs (AMPGs; inside a graph, ← All AMPGs and Details) and Chat (Recent Chats, which loads five more each time you reach its end). The footer holds a Home button, your email address and the Studio version.
Standard or governed
On a standard deployment Home reads "Standard deployment · your resources are yours": what you create is yours until you share it. On a governed deployment a strip on every screen reads "Governed deployment · resources are shared by everyone assigned": everyone assigned shares every resource and can open every user's workspace files, while your own files land in your own folder (Working in a governed deployment).
Profile and sign out
- Click Profile at the foot of the dock.
- Signed in as lists Name, Email ("Not provided by the sign-in provider" if none was passed), Username and User id; change them at your sign-in provider.
- Deployment lists Resources ("Personal resources" or "Shared resources"), Version and Licence: "Active", "Checking…", "Not activated", "Not reported", or "Blocked" in red with the Service halted message.
- Click Sign out. The window reads "Signing out…", then the sign-in page follows. Runs you started keep going.
Notes
- Studio has no roles, passwords, multi-factor or settings screens of its own: your administrator decides access, your sign-in provider owns your identity.
- Old addresses still work: a knowledge-bases bookmark opens the same graph under knowledge-graphs, a workspace address opens Chat. A page reading only "404" is an address Studio does not know; use the dock.
- The sign-in page refuses you or loops: you are not yet assigned to this deployment. Signed straight back in after Sign out: your organisation's session is still live in this browser; sign out of it too, or use a private window.
- "Sign-out failed": try again or close the tab. "Signed-in identity unavailable": the sign-in provider returned no user record; sign out and in again, then tell your administrator.
- "Your session has expired" or a coloured strip across the top: see Banners you may see.
