Registering an agent is the first thing you do in Nomotic. It takes about two minutes and gives your agent a verified identity — a signed certificate that follows it through every action it takes.
Before you start
You will need a Nomotic account. If you don’t have one yet, sign up free at amp.nomotic.ai. The free plan supports up to 5 agents with no time limit.
Step 1 — Go to Identity
From the main navigation, click Identity. This is where all agent certificates live. Click Register Agent in the top right corner.
Step 2 — Fill in the basics
Give your agent a name and a description. The name is how it appears in your dashboard, audit trail, and alerts — so make it specific. “customer-support-agent” is more useful than “agent1.”
Choose a Zone. Sandbox is the right choice for a new agent you’re still testing. You can promote it to staging or production later.
Choose an Archetype. This tells Nomotic what kind of agent this is so governance can be calibrated appropriately. If you’re not sure, General Purpose works for most cases. You can change it later.
Step 3 — Register
Click Register Agent. Nomotic generates a cryptographic certificate, assigns your agent an ID, and adds it to your registry. You’ll see it appear in your Identity dashboard with a status of Registered.
Step 4 — Copy your agent ID
You’ll need the agent ID to connect the Nomotic SDK to your agent’s code. Copy it from the certificate detail page and keep it handy.
Your agent now has a verified identity. The next step is connecting it to governance so its actions are evaluated before they execute.
Head to Run Your First Governance Evaluation to connect the SDK and see your first verdict.
