# Agent creation paths

There is more than one way to build an agent. Each suits a different kind of builder.

#### AI build from prompt

This is the fastest way to go from idea to working draft.

You describe what should happen, Rox asks clarifying questions if needed, and the builder drafts the trigger and instructions for you.

Use this when:

* you know the motion you want
* you want speed
* you want Rox to scaffold the agent for you

#### AI build from template

This is the fastest way to start from a proven pattern.

Templates give you a structured starting point, and then you refine the details in Studio.

Use this when:

* you want a strong starting point
* your use case looks like a common pattern
* you want to customize rather than invent from scratch
