How to take back and forth human input in a single run of team instance?

[MahorShekhar]

Hello,

We are trying to solve a upselling use case. For that we need to communicate with user back and forth to take his user input like his name, account number, Document number required, decision to move forward etc.

While running a small POC, I’m using a while loop and running team.print_response(). But I’m assuming if in just a single run, team leader should ask for user input. Right now I’ve to execute team.print_response every time, as code terminates after printing a single message.

is_complete = False
while not is_complete:
    user_input = input("User:")
    if user_input == "bye":
        is_complete = True
    else:
        loan_upselling_team.print_response(
            user_input
        )

As of now, there is no support of team feature on Agent UI. so I’m running my POC for team feature in terminal only. I did saw pre-hook and post-hook feature, but my question is will it update the user message history as it is continous conversation between user and team. ?

Any suggestions or views are highly appreciated.

Thanks.

hi @monali7-d I'm waiting to receive a response as it is a blocker for my work. I would be truly grateful if your team can respond to my query.

Thanks.

Hey @MahorShekhar
I sincerely apologise for the delay from our side. We will make sure to address your query today.
I understand that you have also posted on Discourse. We are very sorry about it.

Tagging @kausmeows here, he will be handling our query.

Hey @MahorShekhar , thanks for reaching out.
We have HITL on all functions… but if you mean pre/post hook before calling the member agent, then no we don’t yet have that.

It is on the teams list roadmap.

That said, the team leader could respond with “I need more info” and then you run again…
But in terms of an “Interrupted flow”, we don’t really support that on agents either.

So this is kind of just how agents work in general. I would very specifically instruct the agent to gather all the information with a back and forth with the user (the dev should rather use run vs print_response ) and then finally the agent can continue. We don’t have a “single run which has user input”, this is a nice use-case possibly for “Admin Flows” (which is something the team is working on)

@kausmeows I see.

So lets suppose I create a team of agents. To solve a user query, may be one agent needs input from user. Let's say agent needs to know customer id of the user to check his account information. So, right now I'm using team.run(), in this case as well, we need to run team.run() in loops to take user input back and forth, if team leader responds that it needs some customer id ?

Basically what I need is a human interactive agent that takes input from user. Any other agent can ask this human interactive agent to take input from user that is needed to run any tool call ? How would this be done ? Should I create a post-hook method to take input from user. But how will that user message will add to user role history ?

We just don't have something nice and built-in here. Yes you'll have to loop and call team.run(), just like a normal chat session. If you enable the team history, then the team agent should remember all of this.

i see @kausmeows.

on similar note, I'm have another query. I'm using new team interface. But it has no create_session_summary and summarizer params in TeamMemory class unlike AgentMemory. Now my dilemma is how to create summary of team sessions.
