Build your first agent
An OpenAI agent that calls one tool to fetch a quote and explains it, in one click.
Your first AI agent in ByteChef. The agent uses an OpenAI model and one tool, the HTTP Client, to fetch a random quote from a public API, then explains the quote in one sentence and logs the answer. It runs on a manual trigger, so after importing it you connect your OpenAI API key, click Run and watch the tool call in the execution log.
- AI Agent component with an OpenAI model
- One tool, the HTTP Client, that the agent decides to call
- System prompt that tells the agent when to use the tool
- Logger step that shows the agent's answer in the execution log
- OpenAI API key
- Internet access to reach the public quotes API
Anyone who has run their first workflow and wants to see an agent pick and call a tool, with a single connection to set up.
- Trigger: the workflow starts when you click Run in the workflow editor.
- Explain a quote: the AI Agent calls the Get a random quote tool, an HTTP GET on dummyjson.com/quotes/random, and writes a one-sentence explanation.
- Log the answer: the Logger step prints the agent's reply to the execution log.

This workflow fetches an inspirational quote on weekdays, and a joke on the weekends and then sends it to the email address you specify.
New to ByteChef? This simple workflow is the perfect way to get started. In just a few minutes, you'll build your first automation: it fetches a random quote from the internet and logs it. It uses a manual trigger, so after importing it you click Run and see the result immediately. Swap in a Schedule trigger when you want it to run on its own.
