## intro

Start with the bundled Demo Agent: a Wikipedia-backed chatbot you can use to generate a realistic trace. Open it from the task sidebar, ask a question, and Arthur will record the run for the trace workflow we'll inspect together.

## scenario

First, open the Demo Agent from the sidebar. It answers general-knowledge questions by searching and fetching Wikipedia articles, which makes it a useful sandbox for seeing agent traces in Arthur.

## step: open-demo-agent

Open **Demo Agent** in the sidebar. This takes you to the sandbox chatbot, where you can ask a general-knowledge question and create a trace for the next part of the tour.

## step: send-message

Send any general-knowledge question to the Demo Agent. It will search Wikipedia as needed, answer in the chat, and leave behind a trace for us to inspect next.
