Hi everyone,
Exciting news from TEAM 24 in Las Vegas today where we announced our new AI product Rovo including Rovo agents which will available for customers later this year.
More exciting still is that developers will be able to build agents and their capabilities using Forge. Here are a few more details:
What are agents?
Rovo agents are configurable AI teammates that integrate into existing workflows. They will:
- interact and collaborate with humans in multi step workflows
- be specialised to create smarter, more defined outcomes
- reduce repetitive work that is highly prescribed an predictable
- have human defined objectives and decision making framworks
- be invoked manually and autonomously by product events and scheduled triggers.
How will I build an agent on Forge?
We are planning to introduce two new modules to Forge (please note details are still subject to change):
ai:agentThis is where you define the instructions (prompt) for your agent as well as the name, description, avatar etc.ai:actionThis is where you define the actions that your agent can take. That could be retrieving data or actually taking actions (creating, updating, deleting). These will either point to a Forge function or a remote endpoint where you define the logic.
You will be able to add agent functionality to your existing Forge apps or create new, standalone apps with agent functionality. They will be discovered and installed through the marketplace just like other apps.
What about my Connect app?
Agent capabilities will only be compatible with Forge. If you haven’t already done so, I’d encourage you to check out Bringing Forge-Powered Features to Connect Apps to see how easy it is to incrementally adopt Forge from Connect.
How can I get involved?
There is a small, closed EAP currently running to get early feedback on the design and developer experience. Post-TEAM we will be incorporating that feedback and building out the functionality before running a broader EAP later in the year. We plan to open this up before the GA launch of Rovo so more partners can participate in the launch. You can join the waitlist here.
