# Agents configuration checklist

Follow the steps below to make sure Agents work as expected in Automation Suite:

1. Make sure you meet all prerequisites before you start. For details, refer to [Prerequisites](https://docs.uipath.com/agents/automation-suite/2.2510/user-guide/agents-prerequisites).
2. In Automation Ops, create or edit an AI Trust Layer policy and enable the **Agents** toggle on the **Product Toggles** tab, then deploy the policy to your tenant. For details, refer to [Settings for AI Trust Layer policies](https://docs.uipath.com/automation-ops/automation-suite/2.2510/user-guide/settings-for-ai-trust-layer-policies).
3. Configure at least one LLM connection in the AI Trust Layer. Agents requires an LLM to function — all AI-powered features are unavailable until an LLM is configured. For details, refer to [Configuring LLMs for your product](https://docs.uipath.com/automation-suite/automation-suite/2.2510/admin-guide/managing-ai-trust-layer#configuring-llms-for-your-product).
4. Build an agent in Agent Builder. For details, refer to [Getting started with UiPath Agents](https://docs.uipath.com/agents/automation-suite/2.2510/user-guide/building-an-agent-in-studio-web).
5. Test the agent to verify it runs as expected. For details, refer to [Testing the agent](https://docs.uipath.com/agents/automation-suite/2.2510/user-guide/improve-and-test-the-agent).
6. Publish and deploy the agent to make it available for use. For details, refer to [Publishing and deploying the agent](https://docs.uipath.com/agents/automation-suite/2.2510/user-guide/publish-the-agent).

## LLM requirements

Agents features have different LLM requirements. The table below shows which external LLM subscriptions are compatible with each feature.

| Feature | OpenAI | Google | Anthropic | Other open-source models |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Agent execution | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Agent evaluations | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Context Grounding | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | Embeddings + Batch only <sup>1</sup> |
| Autopilot for Agent Builder | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ |
| Simulations | ✅<sup>2</sup> | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
<!--| Prompt Optimization | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |-->

<sup>1</sup> When using self-hosted models, Context Grounding only supports Embeddings and Batch Transform. DeepRAG and Advanced Extraction require a cloud model (OpenAI, Google, or Anthropic).
<sup>2</sup> Simulations require the GPT 4.1 mini model.
