Publishing error: training
I can´t seem to publish my agent but I ran the whole thing and there´s no mistakes. What is happening?

Here’s what usually blocks an agent from being published and how to fix it:
1. Make sure the diagram is compiled
• Click the blue Run button on the canvas – this compiles every block and will surface any errors.
2. Train the NLU model first
• In the Prototype panel click Train Assistant.
• Wait until the spinner beside the button finishes and you see the “trained” state.
• If training fails, open the Prototype console to see which intent, slot or prompt is causing the error and correct it before retrying.
3. Publish only after training succeeds
• Once Run → Train complete with no errors, hit the Publish button (top-right). This pushes the production version that the live runtime/API will use.
Extra checks
• Make sure every variable has an initial value and every block has a valid next path.
• Look for unused or orphaned blocks that might still reference deleted variables/intents.
• If you recently added a large Knowledge Base file, remove it temporarily – an unsupported file type or very large PDF can stop training.
• Refresh the tab or log out/in to clear a stuck training job.
Follow the exact order Run → Train Assistant → Publish and your agent should deploy without the “training” error.
