Capture variables can be defined in three different ways, each serving a specific use case.
Variable Definition Methods
Fixed Value Hardcode a static value
Referred Reference an existing variable
AI Derived Capture dynamically through conversation
AI Derived Variables AI Derived variables are automatically captured through the conversation between the agent and the user based on the description you provide.
How It Works For Master Agents:
No need to explicitly mention variable capture in the agent prompt
Simply add the variable name and provide a clear description
The agent will automatically extract and store the value during conversation
For Child Agents:
You must specify in the prompt which session variable to store the captured value
Best Practices Provide detailed descriptions including data type and format requirements:
Example: Phone Number
Example: SQL Queries
Variable Name: phone_number Description: A valid 10 digit phone number with country code and a '+'
Include the expected data type in your variable description for better accuracy.
Referred Variables Referred variables allow you to copy the value from an existing session variable. This is useful when you need to pass data between agent blocks or reuse existing values.
Simply select the source variable from the available session variables.
Fixed Value Variables Fixed Value variables contain static, hardcoded values that remain constant throughout the workflow.
Configuration
Value : Enter the static value for the variableDescription (optional): Add a description for your reference
Ensure data type consistency when setting fixed values. The value should match the expected data type for downstream operations.
