Getting Started with Agent Docks
Welcome to Agent Docks! This guide will help you understand the basics and start building your first AI workflow.
What is Agent Docks?
Agent Docks is a node-based AI workflow platform that lets you visually build, connect, and automate generative AI pipelines. Instead of jumping between different AI tools and tabs, you can:
- •Build visual workflows by connecting nodes on a canvas
- •Connect multiple AI models (text, image, video) in one workflow
- •Save workflows as templates and reuse them with new inputs
- •Automate workflows with triggers (Telegram, scheduled, webhooks)
- •Keep all your AI work organized in one workspace
Key Concepts
Nodes
Nodes are the building blocks of your workflow. Each node performs a specific function: input data, generate content, preview results, apply tools, or trigger actions. Nodes have inputs (left side) and outputs (right side) that you connect to create your workflow.
Canvas
The canvas is your visual workspace where you drag, drop, and connect nodes. You can zoom, pan, and organize your workflow visually. The canvas saves your layout automatically.
Connections
Connections (edges) link nodes together to pass data or control execution flow. Data connections transfer content (text, images, videos) between nodes. Trigger connections control the order of execution.
Workflows
A workflow is your complete node graph saved as a project. You can run workflows manually, save them as templates, or automate them with triggers. Workflows are version-controlled and can be exported/imported.
Your First Workflow
Let's build a simple workflow that generates an image from a text prompt:
Create a New Project
Go to your dashboard and click "New Project". Give it a name like "My First Workflow".
Add a Text Input Node
From the left sidebar, drag a "Text Input" node onto the canvas. Type your image prompt in the text field (e.g., "A serene mountain landscape at sunset").
Add an Image Generate Node
Drag an "Image Generate" node onto the canvas. Select your preferred AI model (e.g., FLUX, Stable Diffusion, or DALL-E).
Connect the Nodes
Click and drag from the Text Input's output port (right side) to the Image Generate's prompt input port (left side). You'll see a connection line appear.
Add an Image Preview Node
Drag an "Image Preview" node and connect the Image Generate output to the preview input. This is where your generated image will appear.
Run Your Workflow
Click the "Run" button in the Image Generate node or press Cmd+Enter to run the entire workflow. Watch as your image generates and appears in the preview node!
