AI Agent and dev environment

1

Hi Okteto team :waving_hand:

I’m running into an issue when trying to launch an AI Agent from a specific branch of my application.

That branch contains its own okteto.yaml file with properly defined build, deploy, and dev sections.

However, when I start the agent, no development environment is created — I can’t see or access the expected environment where the build/deploy process should run, or view its results.

I was expecting Okteto to automatically spin up a development environment associated with that branch (similar to how it behaves with regular app deployments), but it seems that doesn’t happen for AI Agents.

Is this the expected behavior?

If not, could you please clarify:

  • Whether AI Agents are supposed to trigger branch-specific environments automatically

  • And if not, what’s the recommended workflow to connect an agent to its own isolated dev/test environment for that branch?

Thanks in advance for your help! :folded_hands:
