# Altar: Visual Agent Builder

Altar serves as the central development environment within the Sage ecosystem, providing an intuitive interface for designing AI agent workflows through a node-based visual canvas.

#### Technical Features

* **Component-Based Architecture**: Modular system with drag-and-drop nodes for different functionalities
* **Node Types**:
  * LLM Connectors (OpenAI, Anthropic, Claude)
  * Tool Integrations (Web3 integrations, API clients, data processors)
  * Logic Controllers (conditional flows, loops, error handlers)
  * Input/Output Handlers (data formatting, parsing, validation)
* **Execution Flow Visualization**: Visual representation of data and control flow between nodes
* **Version Control**: Built-in versioning system for tracking workflow changes

#### Development Process

Developers and non-technical users can create sophisticated agents by:

1. Selecting pre-built nodes from the component library
2. Configuring each node's parameters and inputs
3. Connecting nodes to establish execution flow
4. Testing the workflow directly from the interface
5. Deploying agents to production environments

#### Integration Capabilities

Altar integrates with multiple blockchain networks (Ethereum, Base, Solana, Sonic, Arbitrum, Avalanche, and more) and Web3 protocols, including:

* **DeFi Integrations**: 1Inch, Uniswap, Aave, GMX, Pendle
* **NFT/Token Support**: ERC20 and ERC721 operations
* **Market Data**: CoinGecko, Dexscreener, Elfa AI
* **Trading Tools**: Pump.Fun, Raydium, Camelot

Each integration is available as a ready-to-use node, allowing agents to interact with on-chain services without requiring deep blockchain expertise. 

New tools are being added on a weekly basis. Sign up at [altar.market](https://altar.market) to use all the latest tools.<br>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sagestudios.ai/sage/core-infrastructure/altar-visual-agent-builder.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
