AI Builder: Clarifying Agent

Automatically collect missing details before generating or editing workflows to improve output accuracy.

Who This Is For / When to Use

  • Users building workflows using AI Builder

  • Teams creating automations from natural language prompts

  • Users editing existing workflows with AI

  • Anyone experiencing inaccurate or incomplete AI-generated workflows

What the Clarifying Agent Does

The Clarifying Agent detects missing or unclear inputs and asks targeted questions before generating or editing a workflow.

  • Identifies gaps in user prompts

  • Asks up to 3 focused questions

  • Collects required details before execution

  • Improves first output accuracy

  • Reduces the need for revisions

When the Clarifying Agent Activates

The agent only appears when critical workflow details are missing.

  • Trigger not specified

    • Example: No event like form submission or tag added

  • Channel not defined

    • Example: No communication method like SMS, email, or WhatsApp

  • Timing not provided

    • Example: No delay or schedule (immediate, 1 hour later, etc.)

  • Unsupported platform mentioned

    • Prompts user to choose a supported channel

If all required details are present, the agent does not appear.

How the Clarifying Flow Works

  1. Open AI Builder

  2. Enter a workflow request or edit instruction

  3. If details are missing, the Clarifying Agent appears

  4. Answer the questions or skip them

  5. AI Builder generates or updates the workflow using the provided inputs

Question Format and Interaction

Clarifying questions are designed for quick input.

  • Multiple-choice format for fast selection

  • Option to enter custom responses

  • Navigation arrows to move between questions

  • Each question is optional and can be skipped

Behavior When Questions Are Skipped

If you skip questions:

  • AI proceeds using default assumptions

  • Output may be less precise

  • Additional edits may be required

Answering questions improves output quality.

Impact on Workflow Generation

Using the Clarifying Agent results in:

  • More accurate first-time workflow creation

  • Fewer revisions after generation

  • Faster time to publish workflows

  • Lower interaction cost due to fewer retries

Common Issues and Fixes

AI is asking too many questions

  • This occurs when key workflow details are missing

  • Provide clearer prompts with trigger, channel, and timing

Output is still not accurate

  • Answer all clarifying questions instead of skipping

  • Include more specific details in your initial prompt

Clarifying Agent is not appearing

  • All required details are already provided in the prompt

  • The agent only activates when gaps are detected

FAQ
