====Designing Your Agent====

Before we start building an agent, we need to //design// it - to decide what it will do, and what it will do it on.

Let's start with a fairly basic example.

In our database, we an asset called the **Main Pump**, which has the property //Motor Load//.

This is a percentage. We'd like to create an AI that tells us whenever the motor current is over 100%.

So, referencing the [[anatomy of an agent|anatomy of an agent]], we can start filling in our details for inputs and our algorithm.

===Inputs===

The inputs are the two speeds we want to compare. We will call the first input 'Actual', and the second input 'Target'.

<code>
"inputs": [ 
     { "name": "Load" } 
   ],
</code>

===Style/Algorithm===

Next, we choose which [[algorithm|algorithm]] we want to use. 

The [[weak|weak]] [[PropertyPattern|Property Pattern]] algorithm is ideal to use here - it returns a '0' or a '1' based on if your properties fit a specific pattern.

<code>
   "style": "PropertyPattern"
</code>

Next, we want to go through the [[agent walkthrough - settings|settings for this algorithm]].
