Prerequisites

Before using the Agentic AI feature, you need:

1. Create an account in one of the LLM Providers

OpenAI. You need to have a paid account or be a member of an organization that provides you access. Open your OpenAI user profile, copy the existing API Key, or create a new one and copy it. You can also use an OpenAI-compatible LLM provider that supports the OpenAI API.
Azure OpenAI. You need to have a paid account or be a member of an organization that provides you access. Ask your Azure administrator to provide API Key, resource name, and deployment model name.
Anthropic Claude. You need to be a member of an organization that provides you access.
Google Gemini. You need to have a paid account or be a member of an organization that provides you access.
Amazon Bedrock. You need to have a paid account or be a member of an organization that provides you access.
Mistral AI. You need to have an account or be a member of an organization that provides you access.

2. Add two models

A primary model to control the AI Agent, selected from the following providers:
- gpt-5-4, gpt-5-4-mini, gpt-5-4-nano, gpt-5-2, gpt-5-1, gpt-5 series models, gpt-4.1, gpt-4.1-mini, gpt-4.1-nano, gpt-4o, or gpt-4o-mini powered by OpenAI or Azure OpenAI. You can also use an OpenAI-compatible model.
- claude-sonnet-4-6, claude-sonnet-4-5, or claude-haiku-4-5 by Anthropic.
- gemini-2.5-pro and gemini-2.5-flash by Google Gemini.
- gemini-3.1-pro-preview and gemini-3-flash-preview by Google GenAI.
- amazon.nova-lite-v1:0, amazon.nova-pro-v1:0, or anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0 by Amazon Bedrock. Note that the model will only work if your AWS administrator gives you access to this model.
- mistral-large-latest, mistral-small-latest or pixtral-large-latest by Mistral AI.
If you want to enable the Knowledge AI feature for your AI Agent, make sure to add an embedding model along with the primary model. Cognigy.AI recommends using the text-embedding-ada-002 model to enhance Agentic AI capabilities.

Concepts

AI Agent Management
AI Agents — a New Conversational Paradigm

AI Agent Management

AI Agent Management refers to the workspace used to control AI Agents within a Project. This workspace includes the creation, modification, and deletion of AI Agents. With AI Agent Management, you can effectively build autonomous AI Agents for specific roles, tasks, and workflows.

AI Agent Creation

You can create AI Agents tailored to meet specific business needs. Designing these AI Agents allows you to handle a wide range of tasks, such as providing customer support, driving sales, automating data analysis, and more.

Job Market

You can hire an AI Agent with a ready-made set of skills for a specific task and adapt it to your needs. The table shows available example AI Agents for hire.

Job	Job Description	Job Package
Airline Support	The AI Agent that supports tasks such as flight status updates, rebooking, passenger FAQs, and more.	- Flow: Main - Knowledge Stores: ACME Airline Brochure and ACME Airline FAQs
BDR Assistance	The AI Agent that assists with business development tasks such as answering questions, scheduling callbacks, and other tasks.	- Flow: Main - Knowledge Stores: ACME Brochure and ACME CX FAQs
Restaurant Guide	The AI Agent that provides information on menu items, opening hours, reservations, and more.	- Flows: Main - Dining Concierge, Place Order - Order Expert, and Reserve Table - Reservation Expert - Knowledge Stores: ACME Cantina Brochure and ACME Cantina Menu
Health Insurance	The AI Agent that assists with tasks such as adjusting policies and managing claims.	- Flow: Main - Health Insurance - Knowledge Store: FitDirekt FAQs

AI Agents — a New Conversational Paradigm

AI Agents autonomously perform many tasks that in previous conversational AI deployments had to be manually developed, such as intent detection and management, decision-making, entity extraction, and more. All of these tasks are now configured as part of the AI Agent.

AI Agent Node

The AI Agent Node refers to the use of an AI Agent in the context of a specific job. The AI Agent Node references the AI Agent persona and defines the job name, job description, and job-related instructions and context.

Job Instructions

Within the AI Agent Node, you must give clear instructions that guide the AI Agents in performing specific tasks. For example, you could include instructions for executing an API call, processing data for analysis, performing a sentiment analysis, triggering automated emails, or classifying user queries.

Tools

Tool Actions represent specific tasks that an AI Agent can perform. A tool action allows the AI Agent to perform a variety of tasks, for example, interact with external services such as an API or to execute several rules-based actions. The full power of Cognigy.AI can be used to configure what happens when a tool action is called. Along with tool actions, you can use Model Context Protocol (MCP), which boosts tool actions by providing a standardized connection between AI Agents and external services. It allows smooth integration with remote systems like APIs and databases, enabling the AI Agent to perform more complex tasks in a secure and efficient way.

Tool Calls

Tool Calls occur when the AI Agent decides to use a tool action and executes the branch underneath the Tool Action Node.

Resolve Tool Action Node

The Resolve Tool Action Node sends an answer as the response to a tool call to the AI Agent after completing a tool’s action. When the AI Agent calls a tool to perform an action, the tool action is executed. Once the action is completed, the Resolve Tool Action Node sends a response back to the AI Agent, indicating the result of that action. This approach helps the AI Agent process and make decisions based on the results of the tools it initiated.

AI Agent Handover Node

The AI Agent Handover Node enables smooth AI Agent-to-AI Agent handovers, allowing multiple AI Agents to collaborate and take over tasks to efficiently resolve complex customer inquiries.

LLM Prompt Node

The LLM Prompt Node is an alternative to the AI Agent Node. The updated version of LLM Prompt Node adds support for tools, image generation, and conversation transcripts. Use it with the Load AI Agent Node to fully replicate AI Agent Node behavior.

Load AI Agent Node

The Load AI Agent Node lets you load AI Agent data, such as instructions, name, and knowledge, into the Context or Input object. This Node allows you to reuse the AI Agent’s setup in other Nodes without duplicating configuration steps.

Transcript Nodes

AI Agents use the conversation transcript to process conversations, allowing it to reference past interactions for improved decision-making and providing more accurate responses in conversations.

Get Transcript Node

The Get Transcript Node lets you receive a real-time conversation transcript and store the result in the Input or Context object.

Add Transcript Step

The Add Transcript Step Node lets you add a step for one of the conversation actors to simulate an input or output.
