# Getting started

Creating your first AI Agent is a smooth and straightforward process. To help you explore Ada's platform, your Ada representative will provide you with a link to your Agent. This allows you to test key features, interact with the dashboard, and see how your Agent responds to customer inquiries—all before making any long-term commitments.

You'll begin by creating a [simple AI Agent](/docs/welcome/getting-started/create-a-simple-ai-agent) based on knowledge sources, enabling it to provide accurate responses to customer questions. Once your AI Agent is set up and tested, you can [enhance it with automation](/docs/welcome/getting-started/enhance-your-ai-agent-with-automation) by adding elements that can perform tasks and streamline interactions. This two-step approach ensures you build a functional AI Agent quickly while allowing room for advanced customization as you refine your automation strategy.

> **Note**
>
> Depending on how your AI Agent has been configured, you may or may not see both setup flows. For details on when they appear, see *When you'll see this setup process* in [Create a simple AI Agent](/docs/welcome/getting-started/create-a-simple-ai-agent#when-youll-see-this) and [Enhance your AI Agent with automation](/docs/welcome/getting-started/create-a-simple-ai-agent#when-youll-see-this).
