Use Agent Node and Search AI to Generate Answers

Back to How-to Guides

The Agent Node uses Search AI as a retrieval engine. When a user asks a question, the Agent Node queries Search AI across indexed websites and PDFs, retrieves relevant snippets, and generates an answer. The answer is stored in session memory. For follow-up questions, the Agent Node combines the stored answer with new Search AI results, producing consistent, multi-turn responses grounded in your verified content.

Prerequisites

• The Agent Node feature is enabled.
• A custom tool calling prompt is selected for the Agent Node.
• Search AI is configured.

Setup

Step 1: Configure Search AI

Index your content in Search AI:

• Configure Web Crawl for Websites
• Upload Documents

Step 2: Create a Dialog and Configure the Agent Node

1. Create a new dialog.

2. Add an Agent Node to the dialog. Select your model and tool calling prompt.

3. Add a System Context that instructs the model to use Search AI results. For example:

   Use Search AI results as the primary source of truth. Generate accurate answers using the website and PDF content. Consider the previous answer when generating responses to follow-up questions.

4. In the Tools section, enable Search AI and specify the response path. For example:

   context.SearchAINode.{{SearchAInodename}}.response.answer
   

5. Test the flow in the Playground to verify accurate, context-aware responses.
