# Agent Studio

Build, tune, and connect your agent from one place: its actions, knowledge, voice, and where it runs.

<HeroAgentStudio />

Agent Studio is where you configure everything your agent can do and how it behaves. Select **Agent Studio** from the top-left app switcher.

Work moves through three stages: **Build** the capabilities, **Tune** how the agent looks and sounds, then **Connect** it to your product and to external systems.

## Build

Author the capabilities the agent can run and ship them safely through the [action lifecycle](/user-guides/action-lifecycle/): write, test in the [Playground](/user-guides/playground/), then publish.

  
  
  
  
  
  
  

## Tune

Shape how the agent looks, sounds, and hands off to a person.

  
  
  

## Connect

Put the agent into your product, and wire it to external tools and other agents.

  
  
  
  

## Best practices

  

:::tip[Knowledge lives alongside Agent Studio]
Your agent answers from [Knowledge](/user-guides/knowledge-base/) and runs actions with it as context. Keeping it accurate is the highest-leverage thing you can do for agent quality.
