Quick Start

Get Azent running in under 5 minutes with the SaaS deployment. For self-hosted deployment, see the Self-Hosted Setup guide.

1

Purchase a subscription

Choose a plan on the pricing page. After checkout you will receive an email with a link to create your workspace.

2

Create a bot user

Set up a dedicated Azure DevOps account for the agent so its commits, comments, and PRs are attributed to it, and you can manage its permissions independently. Follow the Azure DevOps Connection guide to create the user and a Personal Access Token — you will paste the PAT into the workspace in the next step.

3

Create a workspace

Open the Azent Dashboard and sign in with your Microsoft account. Click Create Workspace and provide:

  • Workspace name — a label for your team (e.g. "My Team")
  • Organization — your Azure DevOps organization name
  • Personal Access Token — the bot user's PAT from the previous step
  • Agent provider — choose Claude or Codex
  • API key — your Anthropic or OpenAI API key
4

Enable projects

In the Dashboard, go to your workspace's Projects page. Toggle on the Azure DevOps projects where you want Azent to operate. This automatically registers the webhooks needed to listen for @mentions.

5

Mention the agent

Go to any work item or pull request in Azure DevOps and add a comment that @mentions the Azent bot user. For example:

@Azent implement this feature

Azent will read the context, create a branch, implement the changes, optionally run validation, and open a pull request.

Tip: Install the Azure DevOps Extension to get one-click trigger buttons and a run status panel directly in your work items and pull requests.
