Another program as a tool — delegate • functai

An assistant hands part of its work to another AI function or program. Asked inside a conversation's turn, the program answers in a conversation of its own (<conversation>.<name>, in the same store), which follows the branch of the turn that asked: asked again later on that branch, it remembers what it was asked before; on another branch, it does not. Its calls are in the asking turn's call tree, under the tool call. Outside a conversation, or with remember = FALSE, it is called plainly.

Usage

delegate(
  program,
  description = NULL,
  name = NULL,
  remember = TRUE,
  effects = NULL
)

Arguments

program: An AI function or a program.
description: What it does, for the model.
name: The tool's name (default: the program's).
remember: Whether it keeps its own conversation (see above).
effects: "reads" or "changes"; default: "reads" for an AI function whose tools all read, else unknown (counts as changes).

Value

A tool, for .tools.
