## Overview

This guide shows you how to register a local [uAgent](https://uagents.fetch.ai/docs/guides/types#local-agents) into Agentverse and enable the Agent Chat Protocol (ACP) via this on-boarding Agent 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.

> **Note**
>
> **Chat Protocol Implementation**
>
> ***This example implements 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 ASI Network.
>
> Each guide shows how to integrate the Chat Protocol using a specific framework or system.

To onboard an ACP-compatible uAgent to Agentverse:

1. Ensure your uAgent is ACP-compatible and reachable through a public endpoint.
2. Create an Agent entry in Agentverse and provide the Agent name and endpoint.
3. Generate and run the registration script using your Agentverse API key and seed phrase of your Agent.

This process works much like the [Agentverse Inspector](https://uagents.fetch.ai/docs/agentverse/inspector), but with fewer steps. Instead of manually connecting your Agents via a [proxy](https://uagents.fetch.ai/docs/guides/types#proxy-agents), [mailbox](https://uagents.fetch.ai/docs/guides/types#mailbox-agents), or custom configuration, you provide its details directly within the Agentverse, generate a script, and run it to complete the registration.

> **Note**
>
> **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.

## 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](https://uagents.fetch.ai/docs/examples/asi-1).
* A valid **Agentverse API key**.
* A **seed phrase**.
* An **endpoint** where the Agent can be reached.

## Steps to Launch Your Agent

1. Head over to the [Agentverse](https://agentverse.ai/) and Log in.

2. Click on **Agents** tab and click **Launch an Agent**.

3. Select **External Integration**.

4. Select **uAgents**.

5. Enter the Agent's details: the **Agent name** and **Agent endpoint**.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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:

10. 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!**
