Inventor generates agents and tools from natural language descriptions. You encounter it when creating a new agent (the Invent option) or a new tool — it opens a sidebar where you describe what you want, and Inventor sets up the configuration for you.

​
How Inventor works

When you select Invent during agent or tool creation, a sidebar opens on the right side of the screen. Type a description of what you want to build and Inventor generates the agent or tool based on your input. For agents, Inventor configures the prompt and suggests relevant tools. For tools, it builds out the steps and logic of the tool. You can then review and adjust anything before saving. Tips for effective descriptions:
  • Be specific about the task, expected output, and any integrations the agent should use
  • Include the type of input it will receive (e.g. a company name, a URL, a list of contacts)
  • Mention how it should handle edge cases if you have specific requirements
Example: “Create an agent that researches a company before a sales call. It should use web search to find recent news, funding, and key contacts, then output a one-page brief with company overview, decision makers, and talking points.” After Inventor generates the initial configuration, you can continue the conversation in the sidebar to refine it — ask it to add a tool, adjust the prompt, or change how the agent behaves.

​
Credit usage in the Inventor sidebar

While using Inventor, the sidebar displays a real-time credit counter showing how many credits you’ve used during the session. The counter shows “X credits used” with a coins icon, and updates each time you interact with the AI — for example, when generating an agent, requesting adjustments, or asking follow-up questions. Each AI interaction in Inventor consumes credits. This counter is specific to your current Inventor session and is separate from the organization-wide credit counter in the bottom-left of the platform, which shows your remaining balance for the billing period. For details on managing your credit balance and monitoring usage, see Plans and credits.

​
Feedback and bug reporting

Inventor includes built-in feedback tools to help improve its performance over time.

​
Thumbs up and thumbs down

Each AI message in the Inventor sidebar has thumbs up and thumbs down buttons. Use these to rate Inventor’s responses:
  • Thumbs up — the response was accurate and helpful
  • Thumbs down — the response was incorrect, unhelpful, or the generated agent/tool didn’t match what you described
These ratings are used to improve Inventor’s output quality.

​
Reporting issues with thumbs down

When you click thumbs down, a popup appears where you can describe the problem in detail and submit a bug report directly to the Relevance AI team. You don’t need to leave the interface or send a separate email. Useful details to include in a bug report:
  • What you asked Inventor to build
  • What it generated
  • What was wrong or missing
  • What you expected instead

​
Automatic failure detection

Inventor monitors conversations for repeated failures. If it detects that a conversation is consistently not producing useful results, it automatically files a bug report — up to two times per conversation. This helps the team identify issues even when users don’t submit manual reports.

​
When to use Inventor

Inventor works best when:
  • You know what you want and can describe it in plain language
  • You want a working starting point quickly and plan to refine it afterward
  • You’re building a tool or agent for the first time and want guidance on structure
For more complex agents with specific workflow requirements, you can start with Inventor and then adjust the configuration manually in the agent builder.
  • Create an agent — the creation flow where you choose Inventor or other options
  • Plans and credits — manage your credit balance and monitor usage
  • Support — contact the team directly for issues not covered by in-app bug reporting
