Tips to Avoid File 'Looping'
Ensure that files created by the AI are saved in a DIFFERENT folder from the source (input) folder. If saved in the same folder, the AI might mistake the new file for a new input and process it repeatedly in an endless loop.
The Importance of Tool Descriptions for AI
Always provide a clear description for every tool. AI Agents use these descriptions to understand when and why they should use a specific tool within a complex workflow.
Benefits of the 'AI Decide' Function
By selecting 'AI Decide', you empower the AI model to determine the most appropriate context and content based on the input received, reducing the need for manual hard-coding.
Step by Step
How to Add a Custom Tool (Script Extractor) to an Agent
- Click the 'Add' button in the Tools section within the agent configuration.
- Select the custom tool you created from the dropdown menu.
- Enter the tool's function description: 'This tool takes the file ID or document ID that it finds in a new script scenario and uses it to pull the full script text.'
- Click 'Add' to confirm the addition of the tool to the agent.
Google Docs Integration for Script Writing Automation
- Click 'Add' new tool and select the Google Docs module.
- Select the 'Create a Document' action.
- Enter the tool description: 'Create a document for shorts and LinkedIn post text.'
- In the 'Name' and 'Context' sections, select the 'AI Decide' option so the AI determines the file name and content dynamically.
- Choose a specific 'Folder ID' (e.g., folder 'AI Created Files') to prevent an 'infinite loop' where the agent processes files it has created itself.
- Click the 'Add' button to save.
LinkedIn Post Automation Configuration
- Add a new tool and select the LinkedIn module.
- Select the action 'Create an Organizational Text Post' (to post to a Company Page).
- Enter a specific description: 'Share only the LinkedIn specific repurposed content from the Google Doc.'
- Connect your LinkedIn account via 'Connect' if you haven't already.
- Select the correct Company Page from the list.
- Set the 'Content' section to 'AI Decide'.
- Click 'Add' to finish.
Setting Up Slack Notifications for Task Status
- Add a new tool and select the Slack module.
- Select the 'Send a Message' (Direct Message) action.
- Authenticate your Slack account via the 'Connect' button.
- Select 'Slack User' as the recipient.
- Set 'Text' to 'AI Decide' so the AI sends a status update once the task is complete.
- Click 'Add' to complete the agent workflow.
