Tutorial Introduction
Welcome to the tutorial on building the "Energy Comparison Agent" with HALO. In this session, you'll learn to create an agent that empowers users to compare their energy consumption with neighbors and offers actionable advice for improvement.
To begin, you'll develop a tool using HALO to retrieve energy consumption data for Dutch households based on a zipcode and house number. Leveraging the Assistant for code completion, you'll clean the zipcode parameter by removing blanks to ensure data accuracy. This tool accesses energy consumption information via an open API. For more detailed guidance, refer to our article offering a step-by-step tool creation guide for the Retrieve Energy Data Dutch Households.
After successfully crafting your first tool, you’ll proceed with creating the Agent. Using the Assistant, you'll instruct the agent to compare energy consumption with neighboring households, display the comparison results, and provide advice if the user's consumption is above average, utilizing the knowledge embedded in HALO. For advice formation, a document containing energy-saving tips will be provided and integrated into the Agent's response strategy. For the full tutorial, check this article.
Upon completing the tutorial, you'll have built your inaugural AI Agent that synergizes with a Tool and Knowledge, while utilizing multifaceted HALO features such as the Assistant and the Test Center.
