In addition to the AI Bots that define the core logic of your AI assistant, the Firstbot Engine also allows you to incorporate a wide variety of specialized tools.
Tools are nodes in your workflow that represent individual scripts or capabilities.
Unlike bots, tools cannot be prompted to any desired task, they are built to serve as a specific tool.
Tools can act as instruments or skills that your bot employees can leverage to accomplish tasks.
Tools perform tasks or computations based on the data passed to them from upstream bots, they cannot be adressed without the help of a bot. However, if deployed as a service, tools can be used individually by users through the visual interface.
Knowledge Management Plugin
Enhances AI by allowing users to upload files, improving response accuracy and personalization.
Speech recognition
Converts spoken language to text using advanced machine learning algorithms for multiple languages.
CSV Reader Plugin
Enables easy extraction and analysis of data from CSV files through structured readability.
Web-browser Plugin
Transforms bot into a virtual web surfer, extracting data from websites effectively.
Text to Presentation
Create personalized educational or professional presentations from a plain text script.
You can browse through a catalog of pre-built tools and agents that have been published by other Firstbot users in the Services tab. This gives you access to a diverse array of capabilities that you can easily plug into your own assistant's workflow.
Alternatively, you have the option to create your own custom tools from scratch. To do this, you'll need to provide a detailed JSON configuration file that specifies the inputs, outputs, and processing logic for your new function. This allows you to tailor the behavior to your exact requirements and integrate specialized skills into your AI system.
Avoid connecting too many tools to a single bot.
Using each tool will count towards the context window usage of the bot, limiting the tokens the bot (LLM) can process or return.
