Assistants
Assistants are configurable AI agents that use language models, MCPs, and knowledge sources to answer questions and perform tasks within the Aumo platform.
Overview
Assistants allow you to:
- Configure AI Agents: Create customized assistants with different capabilities
- Integrate Knowledge: Connect assistants to knowledge collections and data sources
- Empower AI: Use MCPs to enable AI to interact with the external world and fetch real-time information
- Customize Behavior: Configure specific prompts, models, and parameters
- Manage Conversations: Monitor and manage interactions with the assistants
- Automate Tasks: Use assistants to automate processes and workflows
Types of Assistants
The Aumo platform works with two main configurations:
Assistant without RAG
Focused solely on conversation with the language model. Ideal for flows where the context is already in the prompt or in the short-term memory of the conversation. Even without RAG, you can:
- Adjust user and assistant instruction prompts
- Customize model parameters
- Integrate or not integrate MCPs to execute external tools
Assistant with RAG
Includes retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). In addition to the features of the assistant without RAG, you can:
- Connect Knowledge Sources and Knowledge Collections
- Control search filters and document prioritization
- Use MCP integrations when additional connectors or automations are needed
Accessing Assistants
To access the Assistants:
- Navigate to the Projects section in the side menu
- Select the desired project
- Click on Assistants in the project side menu
