Starting an AI Agent
Starting an agent within your Web application involved calling the profound.ai.startAgent() API and passing a configuration object parameter. For example:
profound.ai.startAgent({
agent: "HR.agent.json",
heading: "HR Assistant",
greeting: "How can I help?"
});
After an agent is started, you can use various methods of profound.ai.agent to control it. For example:
profound.ai.agent.hide(); // Hide the agent profound.ai.agent.show(); // Show the agent
It is also possible to manage multiple instances of an agent by using the profound.ai.Chat class. For example:
// Start the Sales Assistant initially
const salesAgent = new profound.ai.Chat();
salesAgent.init({
agent: "sales.agent.json",
heading: "Sales Assistant"
});
salesAgent.show();
// Now, hide the Sales Assistant and show the Support Assistant
salesAgent.hide();
const supportAgent = new profound.ai.Chat();
supportAgent.init({
agent: "support.agent.json",
heading: "Support Assistant"
});
supportAgent.show();
