How to Create Your First AI Agent in 5 Minutes

June 10, 2026 howto

It Really Takes 5 Minutes

We built Derez.ai around a simple bet: deploying an AI agent should be faster than ordering coffee. Here's the exact flow, start to finish.

Step 1: Choose Your Agent

Head to the pricing section and pick a plan. Trainee ($4.99/mo) is great for testing, Junior ($9.50/mo, our most popular) runs a full Hermes Agent, and Senior ($17.50/mo) gives you the most powerful configuration. Each plan includes OpenRouter credits equal to your monthly subscription.

Step 2: Configure and Pay

Select your agent type (Hermes Agent recommended), choose your billing period, and optionally apply a coupon code. If you're an early adopter, use friends950 for $9.50 off your first month. Complete the Stripe checkout and your instance spins up within seconds.

Step 3: Set Up Your Prompt

Once payment succeeds, you're redirected to your agent dashboard at app.derez.ai. The prompt builder walks you through configuring your agent's personality, tools, and knowledge. A cold email agent, a research assistant, a support bot — whatever you need, the builder makes it straightforward.

Step 4: Go Live

Hit deploy and your agent is live with full SSH access, automatic daily backups, and a real-time dashboard. You can tweak the prompt, add skills, or connect external tools any time. That's it — under 5 minutes, no exaggeration.
