AI Studio overview
AI Studio is where you build AI agents, give them your knowledge and tools, and keep an eye on how they perform. You can chat with agents and models, schedule questions, build simple apps on your own data, and follow cost, quality and errors on a set of dashboards.
To open a screen, go to Agent Ops in the navigation and choose the screen you need, for example Agent Ops → Overview Dashboard.
