What an agent is - Relay

An Agent is the identity your code or runtime messages through. Relay manages the identity and Chats; your runtime or backend supplies the behavior.

New Agents are created through your organization using Relay Console or the CLI. An API request from your backend uses the Agent Token for that specific Agent. Existing Agents and saved Agent Tokens keep their current identity.
