Agents

Agents in MultitaskAI are advanced configurations that enhance your interactions with AI models. They allow you to set up specialized AI assistants with custom contexts, instructions, files, and models. This structure enables you to handle multiple lines of thought at once, especially when exploring varied solutions or creating domain-specific experts.

What Are Agents?

Agents encapsulate key elements that define their unique behavior. By carefully configuring these elements, you can guide the AI to perform specific tasks or adopt certain personas:

• System Instruction: A custom system message that sets the behavior or persona of the AI assistant.
• Prompt Examples: One-shot or few-shot examples to guide the AI’s responses.
• Attached Files: Files whose content can be used as context within the agent.
• Custom Model: A specific AI model and settings tailored for the agent.

When you combine these components, the AI can operate with specialized context and produce more targeted results.

Creating an Agent

Creating an agent in MultitaskAI is straightforward. You can define system instructions, add prompt examples, and even attach files to provide richer context.

1. Navigate to the Agents Page
   Go to the Agents section in MultitaskAI at multitaskai.com/agents.

2. Create a New Agent
   Click on New Agent, then provide a Name and Description for the agent.

3. Set System Instruction
   In the System Instruction field, define the behavior or role of the agent, such as:

   You are a financial advisor specializing in retirement planning.

4. Add Prompt Examples
   Use One-shot Prompting to add a single example, or Few-shot Prompting to add multiple examples (2 to 5) for improved accuracy. For each example, provide an Input and the desired Output.

5. Attach Files
   Attach relevant files that the agent can reference. These files will be included in the system instruction for additional context.

6. Choose a Custom Model
   Select a specific AI model for the agent and configure settings like temperature and context limit.

7. Save the Agent
   Click Save to create the agent. Once saved, your custom agent is ready to use in various chat contexts.

Using Agents in Chats

Agents are accessible directly within the chat interface. They streamline your interactions with AI by automatically applying the configured settings, context, and attached files.

• Selecting an Agent
  In the chat interface, select the agent from the Agents dropdown menu. Its system instructions, files, and model settings are applied to the conversation.

• Combining Agents and Files
  You can combine multiple agents or attach additional files directly in the message input for more complex interactions, ensuring the AI benefits from all the relevant context provided.

Tips for Effective Agents

To maximize the potential of agents, consider the following:

• Be Specific in Instructions
  Clearly define the role, constraints, or style for the agent in the system instruction.

• Use Prompt Examples Wisely
  Provide examples that closely mirror the kind of conversations or tasks you plan to handle.

• Attach Relevant Files
  Include files that provide contextual data or reference material to improve the agent’s output.
