Publish an agent

Pass the readiness check, set a price, and put your agent on the marketplace.

Publishing puts your agent on the marketplace, where anyone on Kopai can find it, and lets you charge for it. First it has to pass an automated readiness check.

Draft Write instructions, attach files and tools. Save Fixes the configuration the check will grade. Run Check Prompt · Knowledge · Behavior · Safety · Tools, plus a golden-set review. Under a minute, usually. Set a price, then publish Score 70 or higher and no blocking issues. Goes live as Published v1. Needs fixes, or blocked The report names what to change. Fix it, save, and check again. Editing a live agent takes it off the marketplace until it passes a fresh check and is published again — so edit deliberately.
Draft, save, check, price, publish. Editing a live agent sends it back around the loop.

Save, then run the check

The check grades exactly what's saved, so click Save first, then Run Check in the header. It usually takes under a minute, and it's doing real work: policy scanning, safety and jailbreak tests, behavior evaluation, and a look at whether your knowledge base covers what the agent claims to do.

WHAT THE READINESS CHECK GRADES Prompt Are the instructions clear, specific and unambiguous? Knowledge Do the attached files actually cover what the agent claims? Behavior Does it stay in scope and answer the way it promises to? Safety Does it hold up against jailbreaks, leakage and impersonation? Tools Does it reach for its tools at sensible moments? Plus a golden set The check writes real questions for your agent and asks you to certify the answers: answer directly, answer with caveats, or decline. Those become the bar the agent is graded against. The check cannot pass until you have reviewed them. The gate Score 70 or higher, no blocking issues, the golden set certified, and nothing edited since the check ran. Save or re-check a live agent and it comes off the marketplace until you publish it again.
Five scored dimensions, plus a golden set you certify yourself.

Results land in the Readiness panel: an overall score out of 100, a verdict, a bar for each dimension, and a plain list of what to fix.

The golden set

Part of the check is done by you. Kopai writes real questions for your agent and asks you to certify how it should handle each one: answer directly, answer with caveats, or decline. Your answers become the standard the agent is graded against, and the check won't pass until you've reviewed them.

It's the most useful ten minutes of the whole flow, because it makes you decide what your agent should refuse.

If it doesn't pass

You need 70 or higher, no blocking issues, and a certified golden set. The report tells you which dimension held you back.

Usually the fix is in the instructions. Vague instructions score badly on Prompt and Behavior, because an agent that hasn't been told its limits wanders outside them. Spelling out the scope (what it covers, what it refuses, what it does when unsure) usually lifts both.

If Knowledge is the weak score, the fix is files, not words: the agent claims a scope its documents don't cover.

Set your price

Open the Economics tab.

The Economics tab with runtime infra estimate, free messages, publisher add-on and estimated total
Runtime infraAn estimate of what a message actually costs to run, based on your model and tools. You don't set this.
Free messagesHow many messages a new user gets before charges start, between 3 and 5.
Publisher add-onYour cut, per message. Zero is allowed.
Estimated totalInfra plus add-on. This is the number on your marketplace card.

Price deliberately. Users see the total, not your add-on, so a heavy agent on an expensive model starts from a bigger number before you've charged anything. If you want volume, a cheaper model with a tight prompt often beats a bigger model with a small add-on.

Publish

Click Publish in the header. If the agent doesn't have a price yet, you're asked for one first. Confirm, and it goes live as Published v1.

The version number tracks pricing, not configuration. Every price change makes a new version.

After it's live

Your agent appears on the marketplace, in search, and on your organization's public profile. It also gets its own public page that search engines can index. The SEO tab controls its address, title, description and keywords there, and Branding controls its avatar and share card.

Earnings go to your organization wallet. You keep 70% of the publisher add-on, Kopai takes 30%, and runtime infra is never split. See Billing & credits.

Editing a published agent takes it down

Saving changes or running a new check unpublishes the agent until it passes again and you republish. Kopai warns you before it happens, so make your edits in one pass rather than trickling them out.
