Introductory video to Canvas: Building an AI agent is a multi-step process that requires careful planning and execution. With the Canvas feature, TIXAE Agents revolutionizes how you design and manage AI-powered agents by introducing a flow-based interface for enhanced flexibility and scalability.

​
🛠️ What Does It Take to Build an AI Agent?

Creating an AI agent involves several critical steps:
  1. Define the agent’s purpose and goals: Identify the primary tasks and objectives your AI should focus on.
  2. Design the agent’s appearance and voice: Establish a brand-consistent persona for your agent.
  3. Train the agent: Equip the agent with the knowledge to handle user queries effectively.
  4. Deploy the agent: Integrate the agent into websites, apps, or other platforms.
  5. Monitor and optimize performance: Continuously evaluate and improve the agent’s functionality and accuracy.
  6. So many channels: Integrate the agent into so many channels including but not limited to: Web, whatsapp, FB Messenger, Instagram, telegram, realtime voice via web or twilio and basically any channel through our API[/api-reference/agents/interact/post].
Among these steps, the prompting process is pivotal. The more selective and specific your inputs are, the higher the quality of responses you can expect.

​
Why TIXAE Agents’ Canvas?

Most systems today operate with a single system prompt and a limited set of tools. While this approach works for basic AI tasks, it falls short for more complex scenarios. For example, imagine building:
  • An advanced AI scheduling agent that handles multiple scenarios simultaneously.
  • An AI capable of leveraging 10+ tools while maintaining performance and relevance.
Such use cases demand a more flexible and modular system. This is where Canvas shines.

​
What makes Canvas unique?

Canvas empowers you to overcome traditional AI limitations by offering:

Custom system prompts and tools

Configure unique prompts and toolsets for every scenario.

Flow-based design

Break down large prompts into smaller, reusable prompts connected through logical flows.

Realtime interactions

Stream responses to users in real-time for voice-to-voice or text-based interactions.

Global and reusable nodes

Share functionality across multiple flows, improving efficiency and reducing redundancy.

Advanced configurations

Tailor the AI’s responses using model settings for precision in every interaction.

​
The Future of AI Agents

With Canvas, you’re no longer confined by the rigidity of a single prompt or toolset. Whether you’re designing a virtual assistant for customer support, a scheduling agent, or a knowledge-sharing bot, Canvas provides the flexibility and power you need to create world-class AI solutions.
