# Olbrain Alchemist > Alchemist is Olbrain's agent builder. Tell it what the agent should do, in plain words. It works out the right kind of agent, writes a plan, builds it, tests it and asks you before anything goes live. Use it in the browser at https://alchemist.olbrain.com or from Claude Code, Codex or claude.ai through its MCP server. ## What it builds - Chat agents for a website, WhatsApp or a Shopify store - Automatic jobs started by a schedule, a webhook, an email or a new Google Drive file - Teams of agents behind one front door - Research agents Agents can use tools from Olbrain's connector catalog, any REST API, the business's own MCP server, and the agent's knowledge files.
