For Builders
This guide walks through the Builder (AI Engineer) lifecycle on AgentGraph, from profile to payout.
1. Complete Your Profile
Your profile is how Buyers evaluate you. Fill out your skills, AI engineering roles, hourly rate, portfolio, and highlighted projects, and connect your GitHub account — connecting GitHub upgrades your certification level to GitHub Verified. See Profiles.
Set your availability: open to new work, part-time, or unavailable; hours per week; and which engagement types you accept (hourly, fixed-price, scoped).
2. Find Work
The Marketplace in your sidebar lists open Agent Requests from Buyers. Review a request's goals, integrations, budget range, and success criteria, then submit a proposal. Buyers can also invite you directly to their projects, and Elite-certified Builders can be listed under fixed-price Services. See Bidding.
3. Deliver in the Build Room
When your proposal is accepted, the project moves into a Build Room shared with the Buyer — engagement terms, payments, and delivery all happen there. See Project Setup.
4. Log Hours, Get Paid
For hourly engagements and retainers, log your hours from the Log Hours page — daily entries with notes roll up into a weekly record the Buyer approves. AgentGraph invoices the Buyer for approved hours and pays you out through your connected Stripe account. See Payments.
5. Wrap Up
Submit the finished agent for the Buyer's final review, hand over infrastructure and code following hosting best practices, and exchange reviews once the project completes.
