# DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Platform How-Tos

Generated on 27 Mar 2026

DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Platform lets you build fully-managed AI agents with knowledge bases for retrieval-augmented generation, multi-agent routing, guardrails, and more, or use serverless inference to make direct requests to popular foundation models.

## Use Inference

[How to Use Serverless Inference on DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Platform](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/gradient-ai-platform/how-to/use-serverless-inference/index.html.md): Create model access keys that allow you to send requests to foundation models without creating an agent.

[How to Use Dedicated Inference on DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Platform](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/gradient-ai-platform/how-to/use-dedicated-inference-platform/index.html.md): Deploy open-source and commercial LLMs on dedicated GPUs as inference endpoints.

[Manage Partner Provider Model Keys](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/gradient-ai-platform/how-to/manage-model-provider-keys/index.html.md): Add, edit, or delete API keys to use their models with your agents.

## Create Agents

[Build Agents Using Agent Development Kit](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/gradient-ai-platform/how-to/build-agents-using-adk/index.html.md): Use Agent Development Kit to create and manage agents on Gradient™ AI Platform.

[How to Create Agents on DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Platform](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/gradient-ai-platform/how-to/create-agents/index.html.md): Create an agent with domain-specific knowledge to provide information or take action.

## Manage Agents

[How to Create and Manage Workspaces on DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Platform](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/gradient-ai-platform/how-to/manage-workspaces/index.html.md): Create workspaces to group agents together and move agents between workspaces as needed.

[Configure Model Settings](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/gradient-ai-platform/how-to/configure-models/index.html.md): Evaluate, compare, and configure model settings in Model Playground.

[Use Agents](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/gradient-ai-platform/how-to/use-agents/index.html.md): Use your agent in an application or through a chat bot interface.

[How to Route to Multiple Agents on DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Platform](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/gradient-ai-platform/how-to/route-agents/index.html.md): Integrate multiple generative AI agents.

[How to Route Functions in Agents on DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Platform](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/gradient-ai-platform/how-to/route-agent-functions/index.html.md): Enable the foundation model in your agent to access the external data sources using functions.

[Manage Agent Versions](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/gradient-ai-platform/how-to/manage-agent-versions/index.html.md): Rollback to a previous version of an agent to undo changes made to it.

[Destroy Agents](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/gradient-ai-platform/how-to/destroy-agents/index.html.md): Destroy an agent to permanently and irreversibly destroy the agent and removes all endpoints for the agent.

## Evaluate Agents

[Test Agents](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/gradient-ai-platform/how-to/test-agents/index.html.md): Test the full agent experience with the directions and features you’ve configured using the Agent Playground.

[How to Evaluate Agent Performance on DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Platform](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/gradient-ai-platform/how-to/evaluate-agents/index.html.md): Create test cases and measure how well your agents perform against for things like tone, factual accuracy, and context relevance.

[How to Create an Evaluation Dataset on DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Platform](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/gradient-ai-platform/how-to/create-evaluation-datasets/index.html.md): Create effective evaluation datasets in CSV format to test your agent’s performance, improve accuracy, and measure qualities like factual correctness, safety, and instruction following.

[How to View Agent Insights and Logs on DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Platform](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/gradient-ai-platform/how-to/view-agent-observability/index.html.md): View insights and runtime logs for your agents to troubleshoot issues.

[How to Trace Agent Responses on DigitalOcean Gradient™ AI Platform](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/gradient-ai-platform/how-to/trace-agents/index.html.md): Trace how your agent processes prompts to troubleshoot issues, improve performance, and control costs.

## Manage Knowledge Bases

[Create and Manage Knowledge Bases](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/gradient-ai-platform/how-to/create-manage-agent-knowledge-bases/index.html.md): Create, edit, manage data sources, verify, and permanently destroy knowledge bases.

[Attach and Detach Agent Knowledge Bases](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/gradient-ai-platform/how-to/attach-agent-knowledge-bases/index.html.md): Attach or detach a knowledge base from your agents.

## Manage Guardrails

[Manage Agent Guardrails](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/gradient-ai-platform/how-to/manage-agent-guardrails/index.html.md): Create, manage, edit, duplicate, or delete guardrails to control how your agents respond to sensitive or inappropriate content.
