Learning from Help Documents

User or applications can provide help documents to the AppAgent to reinforce its capabilities. The AppAgent can retrieve knowledge from these documents to improve its understanding of the task, generate high-quality plans, and interact more efficiently with the application. You can find how to provide help documents to the AppAgent in the Help Document Provision section.

Mechanism

The help documents are provided in a format of task-solution pairs. Upon receiving a request, the AppAgent retrieves the relevant help documents by matching the request with the task descriptions in the help documents and generates a plan based on the retrieved solutions.

Note

Since the retrieved help documents may not be relevant to the request, the AppAgent will only take them as references to generate the plan.
