AI Actors

AI Actors are sets of additional instructions that can be added to the base model to refine its response mechanism. These Actors are designed for seamless interchangeability, allowing for flexible adaptation during user interactions with the application. AI Actors must be configured in the Toolbox before they can be used within the app.

To get to the AI Actors page:

1. Click on the Toolbox icon on the left-hand Menu Bar to get to the Toolbox.
2. Click on the AI Actors card inside the Toolbox.

Configuring AI Actors

1. Add a new Actor by clicking the Add button in the top-left of the AI Actors window, or select an existing Actor from the Actors table.
2. On the New Actor page, fill in the following information:
   • Name - This is the only required field.
   • Is Active? - Check this box to have the Actor appear in the list of selectable Actors on the AI Actors homepage.
   • Description - A description of this Actor. This is not included in the instructions passed to the LLM.
   • Prompt - The "Prompt" section outlines instructions guiding the AI's actions, focusing on "what" the AI should do. These instructions will influence Symbient’s responses.
   • Personas - The "Personas" section adds personality to Symbient AI, influencing "how" the AI communicates. It can be used to provide Symbient AI Models with character traits and preferences, such as age or hobbies, to make interactions more engaging and natural.
3. Save the current configuration settings by clicking the Save button in the bottom-right corner of the Actor window.
