Use Agent Studio to start a worker: select a preset, bind a tracing project, enter a task prompt, and run a session (interactive) or automation (scheduled/triggered).

Agent presets

Configure presets under Agent Presets in the space sidebar. Each preset defines:
FieldPurpose
HarnessAgent runtime (for example, Claude Code, Codex)
SandboxExecution environment (Arize-managed, Daytona, Vercel, etc.)
SkillsOptional—GitHub, Arize, Datadog, custom
GitHub repoShown when a GitHub skill is attached
Signal (built-in) includes project trace access only. Clone it to add skills or a repo. See Skills and permissions for setup and RBAC.

Session vs automation

ModeUse for
SessionOne-off work; follow the transcript and send follow-ups
AutomationRepeating task on cron, metric threshold, or monitor
Create automations with + Setup as automation. Manage runs in Fleet Observability. Signal uses the same automation model.

Start a session

1

Select a preset

Built-in Signal for trace-only tasks; custom presets for repo-backed fixes.
2

Select project

Traces and evals are read from this project for every run in the session.
3

Enter task prompt

Describe the investigation or output you need (for example, root-cause a tool failure, draft eval labels for faithfulness failures).
4

Click Start agent

Opens job detail while the sandbox provisions.

Job detail

On start, the worker provisions a sandbox, clones the repo (if configured), loads skills, and pulls project context. From job detail you can:
  • Read the live transcript
  • Send follow-ups to steer the run
  • Reopen a completed session from Fleet Observability (sandbox restarts)
Multiple sessions can run in parallel.

Outputs

OutputWhen
Investigation markdownAlways possible
Eval labels, dataset rowsTask-dependent
Branch / PRPreset includes repo write access
Review and merge PRs through your normal GitHub workflow.

Create an automation from Studio

  1. Click + Setup as automation
  2. Set trigger: cron, metric threshold, or monitor
  3. Pause, edit, or delete from Fleet Observability
