During the research authors performed an analysis of a current state in intellectual multi-agent systems field. Also authors analyzed the most known and large platforms and libraries for agent-oriented software engineering. The analysis highlighted the major drawbacks of modern approaches to the process of multi-agent systems development. Following article contains methods and concept usage of which will organize a process of user and platform interaction in more efficient way. Authors propose realization of the conceptual requirements by means of visual programming methods implementation. That approach allows involvement of subject area expert to the project thus improving compliance of a system performance expected by the expert and practical system functionality. During an expanding of visual programming interface authors stated a goal of implementation of rapid prototyping technology by development of previously created agent types database. Rapid prototyping allows obtaining the systems samples at early stages of the project thus increasing a number of iterations of development. By means of sharpening agents adjustments on every iteration expert achieves a goal of the most adequate respond of the system in design during its functioning in subject area.
