Create agent example

Let's create an agent with the API.

Research assistant agent

This agent completes the following tasks:

• Search the web when users ask questions requiring current information.
• Limit search results to 20 for comprehensive responses.
• Use a lower temperature (0.3) for more consistent, factual responses.
• Follow instructions to cite sources and admit uncertainty when appropriate.
• Configure retry logic to handle transient API failures gracefully.

This example requires no corpus setup, making it perfect for immediate testing.
