Overview
Sequential Agents is a powerful category of components designed to create complex, multi-step conversational workflows and decision-making processes. This category includes several specialized nodes that work together to form sophisticated agent-based systems.
Available Components
Agent Node
Executes tools and manages complex interactions within the conversational AI system
Condition Agent Node
Uses an agent (typically an LLM) to evaluate the current state and decide on the next action
Condition Node
Evaluates conditions to determine the next step in the workflow
End Node
Signifies the termination point of a conversation or process flow
LLM Node
Runs a Chat Model and returns its output, serving as an intermediary step for reasoning and decision-making
Loop Node
Creates loops within the workflow, allowing for repetitive or conditional execution of certain steps
Start Node
Initializes the conversation flow and sets up essential components
State Node
Provides a centralized state object that can be updated and passed between nodes in the graph
Tool Node
Executes specific tools and returns their output within the sequential workflow
Use Cases
Sequential Agents are beneficial for a wide range of complex, multi-step processes:
-
Advanced Chatbots: Create chatbots that can handle multi-turn conversations, maintain context, and make decisions based on user input and previous interactions.
-
Decision Trees: Implement sophisticated decision-making processes that can adapt based on user responses or external data.
-
Workflow Automation: Design complex workflows that involve multiple steps, conditional branching, and integration with various tools and APIs.
-
Information Gathering: Create agents that can collect and synthesize information from multiple sources, making decisions on what to query next based on previous results.
-
Problem-Solving Agents: Develop agents that can break down complex problems into smaller steps, using different tools and reasoning processes to arrive at a solution.
-
Interactive Tutorials or Guides: Build adaptive learning experiences that adjust based on user progress and responses.
-
Customer Support Systems: Create intelligent support systems that can handle complex queries, route issues to appropriate departments, and provide step-by-step assistance.
-
Data Analysis Pipelines: Construct workflows that can process, analyze, and make decisions based on large datasets, using various analytical tools and models.
By combining these components, developers can create highly flexible and powerful agent-based systems capable of handling a wide variety of tasks and scenarios.
