   • Set the Message Type to LTI Deep Linking Request
   • Save your changes

Step 2 — Add Deep Linking to a Course

1. Navigate to the desired course
2. Add an External Tool
3. Select the Deep Linking Launch option you configured
4. A content selection menu appears

Step 3 — Choose and Insert Content

1. From the selection menu, pick the agent or resource to integrate (e.g., Career Path Agent)
2. The LMS returns the Target Link URI and a suggested title
3. Add the item

Result

The selected Agentic OS content is now embedded in the course and ready to launch directly through LTI Deep Linking.

Course to Deep-Link

Purpose

Set up a agent for LTI Deep Linking so you can add it to your LMS (e.g., Canvas) yourself—assuming the base integration exists and deep linking is enabled.

1) Get the Agent ID

1. Open the agent you want to integrate.
2. Copy the unique identifier from the agent’s URL.

2) Create the Course in Studio

1. Go to ibl.ai Studio.
2. Create a new course (e.g., “Socratic Agent”) and choose the organization.

Settings → Schedule & Details

• Set the Course Start Date to a time in the past.
• Set Enrollment Start to at least a day before the start date.
• Click Save.

Settings → Advanced Settings

• In the advanced modules list, add: "ibl mentor_xlog"
  (This enables the agent component.)
• Save changes.

3) Add the Agent Component

1. Go to Outline → add Section → Subsection → Unit.
2. Click Advanced → Add New Component → Agent.
3. Click Edit and paste the agent’s unique ID you copied earlier.
4. Set the Display Name (e.g., “Socratic Agent”).

Optional Settings (from the demo)

• Context Awareness: Enter your LMS domain; copy it into the Agent Domain and Domain fields.
• Anonymous: Toggle if you want users to chat without authentication.
• Advanced View: Enable tabs like Summarize, Translate, Expand.

Click Save and Publish the unit.

4) Add It in Your LMS (Canvas Example)

1. In Canvas, go to your course → Add New Item → External Tool.
2. Select your existing Deep Linking tool.
3. In the picker, choose the Socratic Agent you just created.
4. Add the item. It now appears in the course for launch.

Result

Your agent is published in Studio and selectable via deep linking in your LMS—letting you add agents to courses on your own.

Chat Persistence

Purpose

Keep your agent conversation active and uninterrupted in the Canvas side panel when you navigate between pages—no reset or loss of context.

Steps

1. In the Canvas side panel, ask a question
   Example:

   “What is the War of 1812?”

2. Navigate to a different page in the same Canvas course.

3. The agent automatically remembers where you left off, restores the same chat thread, and you can continue the conversation seamlessly.

Result

Your chat persists across page changes in Canvas, allowing you to keep talking to the agent without losing the conversation thread.
