AI Agent Builder and AI Marketplace Now in Open Beta!
Jun 25, 2025
Build, Customize, and Deploy AI Agents in Minutes with Sahara AI’s End-to-End, No-Code AI Developer Platform
Today, we’re launching the next major unlock in AI development: the Sahara Agent Builder and the AI Marketplace, both now live in open beta.
Together, they mark a turning point for anyone building—or hoping to build—AI agents.
If you’re a developer, you’ve probably felt the drag of getting even a simple agent off the ground. Juggling prompts, models, datasets, and hosting tools just to test an idea takes hours—sometimes days. It’s powerful, but slow, fragmented, and often not worth the effort for fast iteration.
If you’re not a developer, the process has been even more inaccessible. You might have the idea, the data, and the use case—but no clear way to bring it to life without relying on multiple third-party platforms or hiring help.
Sahara Agent Builder changes that.
It’s a no-code tool that lets anyone—technical or not—build, customize, and deploy functional AI agents in minutes. No setup. No engineering required. Just a clean, intuitive builder that handles the complexity for you, while still giving you full control over what you create.
Want to bring in your own data? You can. Want to use a model without leaving the platform? Grab one directly from our new AI Marketplace, where open-source and (in the next phase) proprietary models and datasets are just a click away.
And this is just the beginning. In future releases, you’ll be able to register your agents on-chain, share them, and even monetize them, turning your ideas into real, ownable AI assets.
Whether you're here to build for fun, for work, or for the future of decentralized AI, this open beta gives you the tools to start building with purpose.
Build Your First AI Agent
The Sahara Agent Builder is a core component of our AI Developer Platform, designed to make it easy for anyone—technical or not—to build, customize, and deploy functional AI agents in minutes.
It’s a powerful no-code tool built for speed and scale, supporting:
Prompt-based agents with custom behaviors
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) using your own documents
Seamless serverless deployment
End-to-end control without infrastructure headaches
From legal research assistants to customer support bots to internal copilots, the possibilities are endless, and the path to production is faster than ever.
This isn’t just a toy for rapid prototyping. It’s a serious tool for real-world experimentation, allowing both individuals and teams to:
Use models they own or pull from the AI Marketplace
Connect to compute resources and monitor usage in real time all in one place
Store proprietary data securely with our encrypted Vaults and enable RAG on demand
Deploy serverless agents with fully managed infrastructure (no GPU selection needed)
⚠️ Note: During the open beta, free usage is rate-limited. Need more credits? You can apply for expanded access by filling out this beta tester application or by using the in-app popup when your credits run low.
Phase 1 of Agent Builder supports prompt-based agents, RAG using your own Vault data, and serverless deployment. Dedicated GPU deployments and tool-calling are coming soon.
How It Works: A Quick Overview
Creating your first agent and registering it on the SIWA Testnet is easy:
Start a New Agent: Name it, write your system prompt, and define its purpose.
Choose a Model: Use one you own or import one from the Marketplace.
Select a Dataset: Use your own or import one from the marketplace.
Register your Agent: Register your agent on the Sahara Blockchain.
Assign a Co-Owner: share ownership over an asset.
Select License Type: Choose the license best suited to your goals. Licensing is required for listing your assets on the marketplace (coming soon).
Confirm the Registration
Deploy: Choose serverless deployment and get a live endpoint in seconds.

Explore the AI Marketplace: Ready-to-Use AI Assets
Alongside Agent Builder, we’re introducing the Sahara AI Marketplace, a hub for open-source AI assets including models, datasets, and soon, agents. During open beta, you’ll find handpicked resources to help you get started building without needing to search GitHub or Hugging Face.
Today’s version of the marketplace focuses on access, so you can quickly pull in quality models or datasets into Agent Builder without ever leaving the platform.
Soon you’ll be able to list, license, and monetize your own models, datasets, and AI agents. All fully on-chain. All under your control.
Register Your Agent On-Chain — Be First When Monetization Opens
Built something great with Agent Builder? Don’t just deploy it—register it.
Even before the AI Marketplace opens for listings, you can register your agent on-chain today to lock in ownership, set licensing terms, and position yourself to monetize on day one.
Agent registration is optional, but highly recommended for anyone serious about making their work discoverable, protected, and revenue-ready once monetization goes live.
Here’s how it works:
When you choose to register an agent, Sahara mints an OwnershipNFT on your behalf, establishing on-chain provenance and linking your account to that creation permanently. You’ll also choose how your agent can be used across the ecosystem via one of four smart-contract-enforced license types:
Open Use: Free, unrestricted reuse with no royalties
Non-Commercial Remix: Free remixing allowed for non-commercial use
Commercial Use: Commercial use allowed, remixing prohibited
Commercial Remix: Full commercial use and remixing allowed, with automatic royalty routing to upstream contributors
These licenses are enforced automatically. That means if someone builds on your agent or deploys it in a commercial context, the system routes payments according to the license terms you set—no extra overhead, no manual tracking.
What’s Coming Next
This open beta is just the beginning. Today, you can build prompt-based agents, enable RAG with your own data, deploy serverlessly, and explore a curated set of open-source assets in the AI Marketplace. But there’s much more on the horizon:
Monetization and expanded listings for agents, datasets, and models
Dedicated GPU deployments for more powerful agent execution
Advanced agent logic with multi-step toolchains
On-chain creator profiles for discoverability and attribution
We’re building toward a full-stack AI development environment where you can build, own, and earn from AI, all in one place.
