Task 02: Test your action

Introduction

Once you’ve created an action, you’ll need to test it to ensure the agent can perform actions accurately.

Description

In this task, you’ll test the created action by interacting with the agent, asking relevant questions, observing the agent’s behavior, and verifying its responses.

Success criteria

• You successfully tested the action by interacting with the agent.
• You verified that the agent performs the action accurately based on user queries.
• You observed and documented the agent’s behavior.

Expand this section to view the solution

1. Select the refresh icon in the upper-right corner of the Test your agent pane to start a new conversation.

2. Ask a vague question about the weather:

   How is the weather today?

   

   The agent will request more details for a location, and the Activity map will display in the main pane.

3. Respond with a city:

   Dallas

   

   The agent automatically updates the Inputs with the city and provides an answer.

4. Tell the agent you made a mistake, and ask for another location:

   Wait, I meant the weather for London. Also, please list all information you have in bullet points.

   

   Observe how the agent updates its query to the connector, and see how it also reacts to the instructions to list all information available to it.
