Flows and Nodes

With Nodes, you can constrain an agent with specific instructions, static texts and actions depending on the context of the conversation and the user's inputs.

A Node can be simplified as "When the user asks this, then I must do that.".

Moreover nodes can be connected with each other to construct a flow for a process or a conversation.

In other words, a Node can say "After I done that, I must do this or that." if it guide the agent into specific subsequent nodes as part of a flow.

For instance, let's say we want to create a flow to guide the user into registering into an application via an email (using an AVATAR_registerUser tool).

We start with a Node that starts the flow when the users express the intention to register on the platform.

const startNode = {
  entrypoints: {
    intents: ['The user wants to register on the AVATAR platform.'],
  },
  contents: {
    instructions: 'You need the email of the user to perform the registration.',
  },
  exits: {
    nodes: []
  }
}

Then we can create a Node that check if the user provided an email or not.
