- [Private Preview] Enable additional Voicebox agents for additional capabilities. New agents are are as follows:
- Analytics agent - Analyze the previously returned tabular result to answer questions about trends, comparisons, outliers using LLM’s inferencing capabilities.
- Computation agent - Use LLM’s code writing capabilities to do numeric computations over the previously returned tabular result
- Chart agent - Create a chart using the previously returned tabular result based on user’s instruction
- External LLM agent - Use the LLM’s background knowledge to answer the question instead of querying the Knowledge Graph
Note: At this time, Voicebox will not automatically use these agents unless the user provides a hint (see below) to use an agent specifically.
- Add support for hints to guide Voicebox when it makes mistakes. Hints are added to user questions with hashtags. For example:
“#llm What is the capital of France?”
Supported hints are grouped in two categories:- Hints to help Voicebox select the right agent
- #analyze - Analyze the previously returned query results to answer the question
- #chart - Create a chart using the previously returned query results
- #compute - Perform a computation over the previously returned query results to answer the question
- #llm - Use the external LLM to answer the question
- #query - Query the knowledge graph to answer the question
- #summary - Summarize the information about the entity mentioned in the question
- Other hints
- #nohistory - Ignore the conversation history while answering the question
Note: The hints #analyze, #chart, #compute, #llm only works for users who are in the private preview for the new agents.
- Hints to help Voicebox select the right agent
- Add more context to the response if Voicebox cannot answer a question
- Improve response times 20% by reducing agent selection and result summarization times
- Infrastructure changes to collect more detailed metrics and to allow faster diagnosis of issues
- Use asynchronous processes for Voicebox service to improve scalability
- Add support to use LLMs hosted by Databricks if configured
