2. Availability

Idea
AI Skill:
  1. can be created and managed in all plans of Creator, where the API invoke limit varies according to the subscribed plan.
  2. can only be created and managed by the super admin and admins, while all other types of users can invoke it.

3. Setting up AI Skill

Creating a new AI skill involves two steps: 
  1. Defining the skill - Provide an overall description about the skill by specifying its purpose, goal, error handling, and its complete behavior in few lines.
    1. Eg., You are a support optimizer. You assign tickets to support executives based on the severity of the case to senior executives. You send a Cliq message when a high priority ticket is raised.
  2. Adding tools - Choose the list of tools that will be used by the AI for the above mentioned skill. These tools are the Deluge functions you've previously configured as per the required actions to be performed.
    1. Eg., Deluge functions like Assign executives, Send cliq message. You can instruct the AI about the purpose of each tool. The skill then decides when to use the tool and picks the right tool to complete its goal. For example, It will only use the Send cliq message tool when a high priority ticket is raised.

  2. Breakdown complex tasks into smaller and manageable tasks.
  3. Arrange tasks in logical order for smooth execution.
