Tools

What are Tools?

Tools are powerful extensions that enhance AI Agents, allowing them to handle complex tasks beyond the capabilities of traditional language models (LLMs). They provide greater flexibility and automation for AI Agents.

Types of Tools

• API Integrations – Connecting with third-party services via APIs to expand its functionality.

• Pre-Built Workflows – A more advanced extension of API integrations. Unlike standalone API calls, Pre-Built Workflows combine multiple components into a structured process to automate repetitive tasks efficiently:

  • LLMs for reasoning, or generating outputs.

  • APIs for retrieving and sending external data.

  • Custom Code for specialized processing and automation.

At SentiAI, we have integrated APIs and developed Pre-Built Workflows to support no-code users, minimizing the need for manual coding and enabling users to focus on effectively leveraging tools for their tasks.

How Do Tools Work?

1/ Receive Inputs

Tools accept inputs from AI Agents, such as text, numbers, or structured queries.

2/ Chain Together Steps

Each tool operates through a sequence of steps, which may involve:

• LLM prompts for reasoning, and generating outputs

• API calls to external data sources

• Custom code execution for tailored processing

These steps are arranged logically, with each one potentially using outputs from the previous step.

3/ Generate Outputs

After processing inputs, the tool delivers structured outputs in various formats, such as text, links, or HTML. These results can then be sent back to AI Agents for further action.
