Build a New AI Agent Project with Olakai

This skill guides you through creating a new AI agent that is fully integrated with Olakai for monitoring, analytics, and governance.

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure:

1. Olakai CLI installed: npm install -g olakai-cli
2. CLI authenticated: olakai login
3. API key for SDK (generated per-agent via CLI - see Step 2.1)

Why Custom KPIs Are Essential

Olakai's core value is tracking business-specific KPIs for your AI agents. Without KPIs, you're just logging events - not gaining actionable insights.

What you can measure with KPIs:

• Business outcomes (items processed, success rates, revenue impact)
• Operational metrics (step counts, retry rates, execution time)
• Quality indicators (error rates, user satisfaction signals)
