FlowAgent Canvas

The canvas is the core workflow orchestration feature of FlowAgent. Through a visual editing interface, complex enterprise SOP processes can be broken down into multiple components and steps. This allows LLM to specialize and collaborate, achieving more controlled and efficient AI responses.

Connection Rules

FlowAgent builds collaborative workflows among different components through connections, supporting a hybrid orchestration design model of serial and parallel. Connections between components have the functions of triggering downstream component nodes and passing the output data of upstream component nodes.

The activation of connections in FlowAgent differs significantly from that in workflow. Workflow connections only have the function of triggering downstream component nodes.

The connection rules of FlowAgent are as follows:

• In Flow, the "input" and "output" modules of each component, such as LLMs, Knowledge Retrieval, Branch Judgment, Condition Judgment, Rule Judgment, and Card Messages, must have at least 1 connection; otherwise, they cannot operate.
• In Flow, the "input" module of the Human Service component must have at least 1 connection, but since it has no output module, no connection is required.
• In Flow, the End component must have at least 1 connection, but since it has no output module, no connection is required.

Component Data Transmission Rules

The data transmission rules between FlowAgent components vary. GPTBots categorizes the component data transmission rules into the following three types:

• Generation: Generates a new response result based on upstream input and component configuration.
• Pass-through: Passes the upstream input data completely to the downstream component node without any processing or modification.
• Special Pass-through: In addition to completely passing through the upstream input data, it also carries the response results generated by the component.

FlowAgent Orchestration

Each FlowAgent consists of one Start, one End, and several components. User messages enter the Agent through Start, are transmitted and processed by several components, and return response results to the user through End.

Adding Components

From the left component menu, press the left mouse button to drag and drop components anywhere on the canvas. You can also click the "+Add Node" button to add components, and you can insert new components by clicking the connection line in the middle.

Connecting Components

Press the left mouse button and drag the line to connect components, forming a workflow.

Settings

Click on the component card to open the settings panel for that component and set specific processing parameters.

Debugging Preview

Click the "Conversation Debugging" button to call out the dialogue input box on the right. After sending a message, you can run the FlowAgent and observe the data flow on the canvas from "input, triggering components to output."

• Conversation Debugging
  Click the "Conversation Debugging" button in the upper right corner to call out the dialogue window in the Flow editing window. After entering and sending information, you can run the FlowAgent.
• Component Node Details
  After the FlowAgent runs successfully, click the "Details" button of the successfully run component node to view the input/output detail data of that component.
• Node Debugging
  Click the "Node Debugging" button in the upper right corner to call out the node debugging window in the Flow editing window. After selecting the target component, you can perform single-node debugging.
