Agents

Agents orchestrate interaction between users and foundation models to carry out actions or accomplish tasks. Agents extend foundation models to understand user requests and creates an orchestration of the tasks it needs to perform. Agents in Amorphic are made up of three components:

1. Agents: The Agent is configured with a base model to use and instructions on what task it is designed to performed.
2. Action Groups: An action group is responsible for the actual action taken. It contains the API definition and the business logic to be executed.
3. Libraries: A library consists of packages that are needed for action groups.

How to create an Agent?

1. Select Agents tab from the services in the left navigation pane and click on + New Agent

Interacting with an Agent

Users can interact with the Agent in Amorphic by heading to the Chat tab (right next to the Configurations tab). Users can either create a new session or select an existing session from which the Agent will be able to pull chat context from.
