# Introduction

> Build AI agents that handle real business work like invoices, emails, and documents, from the dashboard or your own backend.

Nanonets Agents lets you build digital teammates that do real work: read documents, extract and check data, update your business systems, and ask a person when something needs judgment.

You can build and run agents two ways: point-and-click in the dashboard, or programmatically over a small REST API. Start with whichever fits you.

## Build in the dashboard

Set up and run agents point-and-click, with no code required.

## Use the API

Run the same agents from your own backend over a small, predictable REST API under `/api/v1`: trigger a run, poll for the result, and answer mid-task questions.

## API conventions

* **Base URL**: `https://agents.nanonets.com`
* **Authentication**: workspace API key, sent as `Authorization: Bearer <key>`
* **IDs**: every resource ID is a UUID
* **Errors**: `{ "error": "<human-readable message>" }` with an HTTP status indicating the class
* **Versioning**: this is `v1`. Breaking changes will ship under `/v2`; `/v1` stays stable.
