description: Go from zero to a deployed, live-testable agent in minutes with Guuey Studio — no code required.
---

Guuey hosts agents. You describe what your agent should do, pick a model and its capabilities, and Guuey runs it on isolated, always-on infrastructure — conversations stream live, and history is saved for you. The fastest way in is [Studio](/studio/), the no-code builder.

:::note
Guuey is in private beta. Studio access comes with a beta invite; the public beta opens soon. Join the waitlist at [guuey.com](https://guuey.com).

## What you'll build

An agent on Guuey is a declarative definition: instructions (its system prompt), a model, and its capabilities — including MCP servers it can call. There is no code to write and nothing to keep running yourself.

## Create your first agent

1. **Sign in** at [studio.guuey.com](https://studio.guuey.com). Email and password always work; Google and GitHub sign-in are offered where available. One account carries you across Guuey.
2. **Start a new agent.** On your first visit, Studio points you straight at the create form — click **Create your first agent**.
3. **Write the instructions.** This is the heart of your agent: who it is, what it does, how it behaves. Not sure where to start? Click a starter template chip — Trip planner, Meeting-prep assistant, Customer FAQ answerer, Study coach, Social media copywriter, or Meal planner — and edit from there. Or open **Draft it for me**, type one sentence, and Studio expands it into full instructions.
4. **Name it.** Templates propose a name you can shuffle or replace.
5. **Pick a model.** Three plain-language tiers: **Thinking** for the deepest reasoning, **Balanced** (recommended), or **Fast** for the snappiest, lowest-cost replies. An Advanced section exposes the underlying provider, model, and framework if you want them.
6. **Choose superpowers.** **Generative UI** is on by default — your agent replies with interactive screens, not just text. You can also add your own MCP server by URL under Advanced.
7. **Click "Create my agent."** Studio creates the agent and deploys it in one step, then drops you into its playground. Watch the status chip in the header walk from **Starting…** to **Live**.

## Test it

The playground is a phone-framed chat that talks to your actually-deployed agent — the same live endpoint your users will reach, streaming responses in real time. Chat with it, then open **Settings** to tweak the instructions, model, or superpowers and hit **Deploy changes**. When you're happy, the **Share** panel gives you a link, access controls, and an embed snippet.

## Prefer code?

Studio is one of two ways in. Developers can scaffold a code-mode agent — bring Claude Agent SDK, OpenAI Agents SDK, or Google ADK code — run it locally, and deploy it with the CLI:

```bash
npx @guuey/create-agentic-app my-agent
cd my-agent
pnpm install
pnpm dev      # run locally with hot reload

guuey login
guuey deploy  # hosted on Guuey
```

See the [CLI guide](/cli/) for the full workflow.
