NEW Agentic AI Features
- Conversation ID tracking for AI agents is now available – this means that when an agent runs, it generates a conversation ID. This conversation ID can be used when sending data back to an AI agent or when you run an AI agent and want that agent to have context and knowledge of prompts, data and decisions made in other runs of the agent.
- Prompt templates are available for AI agents – this means you can use the templates to create prompts that contain data stored within variables.
- The reAct agent pattern has been updated to version 26.1 – this means that if you created an AI agents in version 25.10, the AI agent has the reAct pattern version 25.10. The AI agent will still work, but if you want to use it with the updated pattern, you need to create this again.
