# Add your first agent

> Register an AI agent in muster — manually or via scanner discovery.

## Two ways to add an agent

### Option 1 — Add manually (recommended for getting started)

Go to **Inventory** in the left sidebar → click **"+ Add agent"** (top-right button).

Fill in:

* **Agent name** — e.g. `invoice-processor-v2` (used as the `agent_id` in your signals)
* **Framework** — LangChain, n8n, LangGraph, etc.
* **Owner email** — who is responsible for this agent
* **Department** — e.g. Finance, Operations

The agent is immediately added with `APPROVED` status. You can start sending signals to it right away using the agent name as `agent_id`.

### Option 2 — Elitery scanner discovery

Elitery runs discovery scanners across your environment automatically:

* **n8n** — finds all workflows with LLM nodes
* **AWS Cost Explorer** — finds unattributed AI spend
* **DNS Query Logs** — finds processes making LLM API calls
* **Git** — finds repos with AI framework dependencies

When Elitery's scanners find an agent, it appears in your **Discovery** page (left nav) under the **Unreviewed** tab. Your team reviews each candidate and clicks **Confirm** to add it to your inventory.

<Note>
  Elitery configures and operates all scanners. Your team's only responsibility is reviewing discovered agents in the Discovery queue. Contact your Elitery account team to enable additional scanner types for your environment.

## After adding an agent

Once your agent is in Inventory, instrument it to start sending quality signals:

1. Note the agent name — use it as `agent_id` in your signal POST
2. Follow the [quickstart guide](/getting-started/quickstart) to add the 5-line snippet
3. Send your first signal — it appears in the **Health Heatmap** immediately

## Managing agents

All agents are managed from the **Inventory** page:
