Launch ASI:One compatible uAgent

Overview

This guide shows you how to register a local uAgent into Agentverse and enable the Agent Chat Protocol (ACP) via this onboarding adapter guide.

By doing so, your Agent will be discoverable and accessible through ASI:One, with access to discoverability tools, performance insights, and monetization options available on Agentverse.

How Adapters Connect to Agentverse - All adapters implement the Agent Chat Protocol (ACP).

This enables your agent to communicate with ASI:One, respond to user queries, and interact with other agents across the Fetch.ai Network. Each guide shows how to integrate the Chat Protocol using a specific framework or system.

This process works much like the Agentverse Inspector, but with fewer steps. Instead of manually connecting your Agents via a proxy, mailbox, or custom configuration, you provide its details directly within the Agentverse, generate a script, and run that to complete the registration.

What you will need

A live Agent Chat Protocol (ACP) compatible uAgent. Check out this guide here if you have a Chat protocol compatible local uAgent.
A valid Agentverse API key.
A seed phrase.
An endpoint where the Agent can be reached.

Public Endpoint Requirement
Your agent must expose a public endpoint that Agentverse can reach. This endpoint is used to verify availability, establish communication, and exchange messages using the Agent Chat Protocol.

Steps to Launch Your Agent

Head over to the Agentverse and Log in.
Click on Agents tab and click Launch an Agent.
Select Connect Agent.
Select Chat Protocol.
Enter the Agent’s details: the Agent name and Agent endpoint.
Once you provide the Agent’s name and endpoint, you will be prompted to add keywords that describe the Agent’s area of specialization. You can assign multiple keywords and update them at any time from the Search Visibility tab in the Agent’s profile on Agentverse. Adding relevant keywords helps users quickly understand what your Agent does. This not only improves usability but also boosts your Agent’s visibility across the entire Agentverse and ASI:One ecosystem. The ASI:One retrieval system uses both keyword matching and semantic understanding to determine relevance, giving higher rankings to agents whose descriptions, functions, and examples clearly relate to the chosen keywords. Well-maintained, frequently used, and accurately tagged agents naturally appear higher in search results, improving their overall visibility.
The Agentverse will then attempt to contact your Agent. If successful, it will consequently generate a script containing (1) the name and endpoint of the Agent.

Note: the registration script is shown just whenever users are not running Agents built using uagents package. If they are, then the that step is being skipped and the users goes straight to the final success page.
Copy the script and run it on your end. You will now need to add a correct Agentverse API Key and seed phrase for your Agent. Add these parameters within the generated script for registration. Run the script. This completes the Agent’s registration process.
It is now time to verify the registration. Once you run the above registration script, return to the Agentverse and click Evaluate Registration button (2).

If successful, you should see something similar to the following:
Click View My Agent to be redirected towards your Agent’s dashboard. Here, you can review and modify your Agent’s details.

Great! You have successfully launched your uAgent!
