How do I deploy my first assistant?

The fastest way to get an assistant running is to deploy a pre-built one from the Marketplace. You can have something live in under five minutes.

Option 1 — Deploy from the Marketplace

1. Open the Marketplace and browse by category or search for a use case
2. Click on a listing to read what it does, what tools it requires, and what permissions it needs
3. Click Deploy and select the workspace you want to install it into
4. Connect any required integrations (you'll be prompted for each one)
5. Configure the assistant's settings — most assistants have a short setup form
6. Click Activate and your assistant is live

Option 2 — Build a custom assistant

If you need something more specific, you can build a custom assistant using the QuivaWorks API and connect it to MCP tools from the Marketplace.

See the API documentation for full details.

Testing before going live

Every assistant has a Test mode. Use it to run the assistant against sample inputs before enabling it for your whole team. This is strongly recommended before deploying assistants that have write access to external tools.
