    About this task

    Duplicate the AI agents to do the following tasks:
    • Duplicate the record.
    • Disallow any AI agents with existing names.

    Custom columns, such as the Tools and Knowledge sources, Status, and a column with the Duplicate icon (Duplicate icon.) are available for the AI agents list.

    Note:
    The duplicated AI Agents use the same tools as the original agent and modifying the agent tools in the duplicated AI agent affects the agent tools in the original AI agent. To use the tools in a duplicated AI agent, you can either use the duplicated agent tools without making changes to them or add a new tool.”

    1. Navigate to All > AI Agent Studio > Create and manage > AI agents and open the AI agents list in AI Agent Studio.
