Agent Instances

Agent instances are running AI Agent service instances that provide intelligent conversation, task execution, and other capabilities.

Agent instances are running AI Agent service instances created from Agent templates and images. They support multiple Agent frameworks such as OpenClaw, Hermes, Defy, and ComfyUI, and provide intelligent conversation, task execution, and other capabilities.

Entry: On the cloud management platform, click the navigation menu in the upper left corner, then click “Resource Management/Artificial Intelligence/Agent/Agent Instances” in the left sidebar to open the Agent instances page.

On the Agent instances list page, you can view the name, template, image, platform, status, creation time, and other information, and manage instances.
