Key Concepts
- On Demand: A platform for creating and deploying AI agents.
- Agent Marketplace: A repository of pre-made AI agents.
- Flow Builder: An On Demand feature for building automated workflows of AI agents triggered by APIs or time intervals.
- Cron: A time-based job scheduler used to trigger flows at specific intervals.
- Slack Hook URL: A unique URL for sending messages to a specific Slack channel.
- Internet Agent: An agent that allows the AI model to search the internet for information.
AI Agent Automation with On Demand Flow Builder
Introduction
The video demonstrates how to create an AI agent that runs 24/7 using On Demand's Flow Builder. Unlike manually triggered agents in the playground or API-driven agents, Flow Builder enables automated execution based on time intervals or API calls.
Finding and Using an Agent from the Marketplace
- Accessing the Agent Marketplace: Navigate to the Agent Marketplace within On Demand.
- Selecting the Internet Agent: Search for and select the "Internet Agent," which allows the AI model to access and use search results. This agent doesn't require API key configuration.
- Adding the Agent: Click the "add" button to add the agent to your panel.
- Testing the Agent in the Playground: Go to the playground, select a model, add the Internet Agent, and test it with a prompt like "Tell me about the top five launches from the Google IO event."
Building an Automated Flow with Flow Builder
- Accessing Flow Builder: Navigate to the "Agents Flow Builder" section.
- Creating a New Workflow: Click "create workflow" to open the flow builder interface.
- Setting the Trigger:
- Select the trigger type: "time interval" (cron).
- Choose between "basic" and "advanced" cron settings. Basic offers an intuitive interface for simple intervals, while advanced allows for complex cron patterns (e.g., activating only on Thursdays).
- Set the interval: In this example, the interval is set to every 20 minutes.
- Configuring the LLM:
- Select the desired model (e.g., "sonnet").
- Enter the prompt: "Tell me about the latest AI news."
- Adding the Agent:
- Go to the "agents" tab.
- Select the "Internet Agent."
- Connect the agent to the LLM in the flow diagram.
- Setting the Output Method:
- Select the output method: "Slack."
- Enter the Slack hook URL.
- Activating and Testing the Flow:
- Make the flow active.
- Click the "test" option to start the flow and verify the output in Slack.
Advanced Voice Mode
The video mentions an "advanced voice mode" option that uses GPT-4o to enable the AI to call you and deliver information verbally.
Conclusion
The video demonstrates the power of On Demand's Flow Builder for creating automated AI agents. By combining pre-made agents from the marketplace with custom flows and output methods, users can build agents that work 24/7 to deliver information and perform tasks automatically. The example of receiving AI news every 20 minutes via Slack showcases the ease and flexibility of the platform.
