[0029] The names of the messages or information exchanged between the plurality of devices in the embodiments of the present disclosure are only for illustrative purposes, and are not intended to limit the scope of the messages or information.

[0030] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present disclosure is not limited to these specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes can not be described in some embodiments. In addition, in one or more embodiments, specific features, structures or characteristics can be combined by any suitable means from the present disclosure that will be clear to those skilled in the art.

[0031] In some applications, in addition to the agent provided by the application side, the user can also freely create an agent. For example, the user can open the configuration interface of the agent, and then input the configuration information of the agent in various configuration items, such as description, settings, and the like. Thus, when interacting with the user, the agent can feed back the response matched with the user's configuration to the user according to the configuration information.

[0032] However, there can still be some problems in the configuration and application of the agent.

[0033] Currently, the configuration of the agent is highly dependent on the configuration information provided by the user. The configuration information can be the description information input by the user for the agent to be created, such as how the personality is, what the background story is, and what the hobbies are. For some agents based on machine learning models, such as agents based on large language models (LLM) and foundation models, the configuration information provided by the user can be directly used as the input of the model. Therefore, if the user provides more accurate and effective configuration information, the generated agent can be closer to the user's needs.

[0034] Some users lack experience in creating an agent, or are not very good at language expression, so that the configuration information input by the user does not accurately convey the user's intention. Or, the user input configuration information is very little, and the effective configuration information is lacking, so that the created agent has no distinctive features.

[0035] Thus, it can lead to low usage rate of the agent after creation. If the agent is not used, the creation process of the agent and the process of storing the agent and its related data will waste computing resources, network resources, etc. Therefore, the configuration efficiency of the agent is relatively low.

[0036] Of course, if the user is not satisfied during use after the agent is created, the agent can be further modified. However, there are multiple other interfaces between the use interface and the configuration interface of the agent, that is, multiple jumps are required to go from one of the use interface and the configuration interface to the other. For example, in the case where the use interface of the agent is a dialogue interface, it is necessary to first exit the dialogue interface to return to the home page, and then enter the setting interface, and then find the agent, and then open the configuration interface of the agent.

[0037] Therefore, even if it can be modified after creation, the configuration efficiency of the agent is still relatively low.

[0038] In order to at least partially solve the above problems, the present disclosure provides an agent configuration method and related equipment to improve the configuration efficiency of the agent, thereby saving computing resources and storage resources.

[0039] FIG. 1 shows a flowchart of an agent configuration method according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the configuration method of this embodiment includes steps S102-S110.

[0040] In step S102, a configuration interface of an agent is displayed, and the configuration interface includes editable configuration information of the agent.

[0041] The configuration interface of the agent is used to configure the agent to be created or modified. The configuration interface can include one or more interactive controls, such as input controls, selection controls, etc., for receiving user input or selection of configuration information.

[0042] The configuration interface can include one or more configuration items, each of which can correspond to a type of configuration information. The configuration items include, for example, avatars, names, settings, opening lines, language styles, etc. Each configuration item can be associated with one or more controls for user input or selection of configuration information.

[0043] In step S104, a preview interface associated with the configuration interface is displayed, and the preview interface is a dialogue interface of the user with the agent.

[0044] The message sent by the agent is generated according to the message sent by the user and the configuration information. For example, in the case where the agent generates the message by using the generative model, the generative model can be used to process the configuration information and the message sent by the user to obtain the generated message. Thus, the message sent by the agent can respond to the message sent by the user, and match the configuration information of the agent.

[0045] The preview interface is associated with the configuration interface, which means that the preview interface and the configuration interface have a direct relationship in the hierarchical structure. For example, at most one jump can be used to switch from one of the preview interface and the configuration interface to the other. Even, the preview interface and the configuration interface can be displayed in the same page. Thus, the configuration interface and the preview interface can be efficiently switched.

[0046] In some embodiments, the preview interface associated with the configuration interface is displayed in response to a specified operation of the user. The specified operation can be a triggering operation of the preview interface when the configuration interface is displayed. For example, the triggering operation is implemented by a triggering control on the configuration interface.

[0047] The preview interface can be used for previewing the agent to be created, that is, "testing" before the agent is really created, so as to confirm whether the configuration information of the agent needs to be further modified by the user. In the preview interface, the user can send a message to the agent. The message sent by the user can be at least one type of text, voice, image, video, file, etc.

[0048] In the case where the preview interface is displayed and the user has not sent any message, the agent can also actively send a message to the user based on the configuration information or the content of the default setting, for example, greeting the user, guiding the user to have a conversation with the agent, etc.

[0049] In step S106, the first message sent by the user is displayed in the preview interface. The first message is sent by the user to the agent.

[0050] In step S108, in response to the first message including an adjustment indication of the configuration information of the agent, the adjustment content of the configuration information is determined based on the first message.

[0051] In the actual use process of the agent, the message sent by the user to the agent is the content that the user really wants to chat. However, in the preview interface, on the one hand, the agent can imitate the actual use process to respond to the content sent by the user; on the other hand, in the case where the user sends a message through the preview interface to indicate that the configuration information of the agent needs to be adjusted, the adjustment content of the configuration information can be determined.

[0052] For example, the user wants the agent to be created to be an English oral English teacher, but the user only inputs an English teacher when inputting the configuration information. When the user discovers that the created agent is deficient in oral English when the user has a conversation with the agent in the preview interface, the user can directly send a message to the agent in the interface, such as "I hope you can help me improve my oral English knowledge". The adjustment content of the configuration information can be to add a description of oral English. The user can not need to determine how to describe the related content of oral English by himself, but directly expresses the intention in the chat manner to the agent in the preview interface as described in the above example. The agent can perform semantic understanding on the message sent by the user. And determine whether the user has the adjustment intention and the specific adjustment content according to the result of semantic understanding. The process of semantic understanding can be implemented by using a semantic analysis model or a generative model.

[0053] The adjustment content of the configuration information can include added content, deleted content, or modified content, and the like. The adjustment content can directly act on the configuration information, or can be a basis for generating new configuration information. For example, when the configuration information is multimedia content, the adjustment content can be prompt information (Prompt) for generating new multimedia content, so as to generate new configuration information by processing the prompt information by using a generative model.

[0054] In step S110, the configuration information is updated based on the adjustment content.

[0055] The adjustment content can be directly displayed to the user, or can not be displayed to the user. The adjustment content can be automatically updated, for example, automatically modified based on the adjustment content. The adjustment content can also be manually updated by the user, for example, in the case that the adjustment content is displayed to the user, the user can memorize the content by himself and input the content in the configuration interface. Or the user can copy the displayed content and paste it into the configuration interface.

[0056] Since the configuration interface and the preview interface are associated interfaces, even in the case that the user manually updates the configuration information, the user can quickly access the configuration interface, and therefore the operation efficiency of the user can be improved.

[0057] The above embodiment provides the configuration interface of the agent and the preview interface associated with the configuration interface, so that the user can quickly obtain the preview of the configuration effect of the agent in the preview interface during the process of configuring the agent. Moreover, the user can express the adjustment intention of the configuration information in the form of sending a message during the process of browsing the interface and chatting with the agent. Therefore, the user can be assisted to configure the agent during the process of testing the dialogue. Therefore, the efficiency of the user configuring the agent can be improved. Even the user who lacks the experience of configuring the agent can quickly complete the configuration process, and the accurate configuration also improves the use efficiency of the created agent.

[0058] FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of a configuration interface of an agent according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the configuration interface (or editing interface) 2 of this example includes editing controls corresponding to one or more configuration items, such as an image editing control 21, a name editing control 22, a setting editing control 23, an opening speech editing control 24, and the like.

[0059] In some embodiments, the configuration interface includes a first control for jumping to the dialogue interface.

[0060] In some embodiments, the configuration interface and the preview interface can be tabbed pages. For example, in FIG. 2, the editing tab control 26 and the preview tab control 27 are displayed in the configuration interface 2, where the editing tab control 26 is in an active state to indicate that the configuration interface is currently displayed. In response to the preview tab control 27 being triggered, the preview interface can be displayed. The preview tab control 27 can be regarded as a first control.

[0061] FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of a preview interface of an agent according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In the preview interface 3 shown in FIG. 3, the user can send a message to the agent through the message sending control to test the agent. The dialogue generated between the user and the agent can be displayed in the preview interface 3. In FIG. 3, the messages sent by the agent are exemplarily displayed in a left-aligned manner, such as messages 31 and 33, and the messages sent by the user are exemplarily displayed in a right-aligned manner, such as messages 32, 34, and 35. The message 34 “I hope you can be my English oral teacher and practice oral English with me more often” includes an adjustment indication of the configuration information of the agent, i.e., the user expects the created agent to be an English oral teacher.

[0062] In some embodiments, the dialogue interface includes a second control for jumping to the configuration interface. For example, in FIG. 3, in response to the closing control 36 being triggered, the preview interface 3 can jump to the configuration interface 2.

[0063] In addition, the configuration interface and the preview interface can also be displayed simultaneously in one page. For example, the two interfaces are displayed in split screen, or one interface is displayed on the other interface in the form of a floating layer, and the like.

[0064] The adjusted configuration information can be updated and displayed in the configuration interface. In some embodiments, in the configuration interface, the configuration information updated based on the adjustment content is displayed.

[0065] For example, the configuration information can be automatically updated based on the adjustment content and displayed in the configuration interface. Thus, the user can reduce the workload of manual configuration, and the configuration efficiency of the agent is improved.

[0066] For example, in FIG. 2, the setting information of the agent is “You are my English teacher”. Through the dialogue shown in FIG. 3, the adjustment content of the configuration information is to modify “English teacher” to “English spoken language teacher”. Then, when the user returns to the configuration interface, the setting of the agent is automatically updated to “You are my English spoken language teacher; no word memorization”.

[0067] If it is desired to more explicitly notify the user of the adjustment content of the configuration information, the adjustment content can be displayed in the interface. The adjustment content can be displayed in any form. In some embodiments, it can be displayed in the form of a message sent by the agent to the user. For example, the second message sent by the agent to the user is displayed in the preview interface, and the second message includes the adjustment content of the configuration information.

[0068] That is, the agent can be configured to, after detecting the user's intention to adjust the configuration information, and after determining the adjustment content of the configuration information, generate a message sent by the agent to the user based on the adjustment content. For example, the adjustment content can be processed by using a generative model, and an indication of confirmation of the generated adjustment content can also be input into the model. So that the generated message can express the intention to confirm the adjustment content to the user.

[0069] Still taking the example in FIGS. 2 and 3, in the preview interface 3, the agent can send a message “Do you want to update my setting to ‘English spoken language teacher’?” or “My setting is updated to English spoken language teacher” to the user to notify the user of the adjustment content.

[0070] Two implementation manners are exemplarily described below with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 respectively.

[0071] FIG. 4 shows a flow diagram of a method for adjusting configuration information according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, the adjustment method of this embodiment includes steps S402 to S406.

[0072] In step S402, a second message sent by the agent to the user is displayed in the preview interface, and the second message includes the adjustment content of the configuration information.

[0073] In step S404, in the configuration interface, a user's editing operation on the configuration information is received, wherein the editing operation is determined according to the adjustment content. For example, after the second message is displayed, the user can return to the configuration interface from the preview interface and edit the configuration information.

[0074] The user's editing operation can be text editing or copy-paste, etc. For example, after seeing the adjustment content, the user can manually edit the configuration information according to the adjustment content, or the user can directly copy the displayed adjustment content and perform a paste operation in the configuration information interface, etc.

[0075] In step S406, the edited configuration information is displayed.

[0076] In this way, after seeing the adjustment content, the user can make further fine-tuning, and the user can make more flexible modifications. Therefore, the accuracy of the configuration can be improved.

[0077] FIG. 5 shows a flow diagram of a configuration information adjustment method according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5, the adjustment method of this embodiment includes steps S502-S506.

[0078] In step S502, the second message sent by the agent to the user is displayed in the preview interface, and the second message includes the adjustment content for the configuration information.

[0079] In step S504, the third message sent by the user is displayed in the preview interface.

[0080] The third message can be sent after the second message. The agent can send the adjustment content for the configuration information to the user through the second message. Based on this, the user can reply through the third message.

[0081] For example, the second message sent by the agent to the user is "Do you need to change my settings to...?", and the user can send a third message "OK" or the like to indicate confirmation.

[0082] In step S506, in response to the third message being a confirmation of the adjustment content, the configuration information is updated.

[0083] In this way, the user can have a dialogue with the agent through the preview interface to instruct the agent to adjust the configuration information and confirm the adjusted configuration information. In this way, the configuration information can be automatically updated without the user's modification, and the user's operation efficiency is improved.

[0084] The configuration information can be of multiple types. For example, the configuration information includes configuration information of at least one configuration item of an image, a sound, a dialogue of the agent. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a first message sent by the user can be identified to determine the configuration item that needs to be adjusted.

[0085] FIG. 6 shows a flowchart of an adjustment method of a configuration item according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6, the adjustment method of this embodiment includes steps S602-S604.

[0086] In step S602, the type of the configuration item corresponding to the first message is identified.

[0087] For example, the first message or the key content in the first message can be processed by a natural language processing model, such as a semantic recognition model, a semantic understanding model, etc., to determine the type of the configuration item corresponding to the first message. The key content in the first message can be a keyword, a core word extracted from the first message, or a central semantic of the first message obtained by preprocessing.

[0088] For another example, the first message or the key content in the first message can be classified by a classification model.

[0089] In some embodiments, it is identified whether the first message includes an indication of the type of the configuration item; in response to the first message not including the indication of the type of the configuration item, the type of the configuration item corresponding to the first message is determined as a dialogue type; in response to the first message including the indication of the type of the configuration item, the type of the configuration item corresponding to the first message is determined based on the indication. Since the main function of the agent is to have a dialogue with the user, if the user indicates to adjust the agent but does not explicitly indicate which configuration item to adjust, it is determined that the user adjusts the dialogue type configuration item of the agent.

[0090] The dialogue type configuration item is used to affect the dialogue content of the agent. That is, the agent generates the dialogue based on the configuration information in the dialogue type configuration item when generating the dialogue. The dialogue type configuration item is used to configure at least one of the language, the attribute, and the knowledge base of the agent.

[0091] For example, if the first message is “you can be more gentle”, it includes an adjustment indication of the agent but does not explicitly indicate which type of configuration item to adjust, it can be considered that the user indicates the language style of the agent to be more gentle. If the first message is “your image can be more gentle”, it can be determined that the user indicates to adjust the image of the agent.

[0092] In step S604, according to the type, the first message, and the configuration information of the configuration item, the adjustment content of the configuration information of the configuration item is determined.

[0093] If the configuration item to be adjusted is a text type (for example, a dialogue type), the adjustment content of the configuration information can be the adjusted text itself. If the configuration item to be adjusted is a non-text type, the adjustment content of the prompt information of the configuration item can be generated. Thus, the configuration information of the configuration item can be regenerated based on the adjusted prompt information, for example, an image, a sound, and the like.

[0094] The above embodiments can automatically identify the configuration item that the user wants to adjust, and automatically generate the adjustment content matched with the configuration item. Thus, the user can only express the adjustment requirement through the first message, and which configuration item is specifically adjusted is automatically determined, so that the configuration efficiency of the user is improved.

[0095] In some embodiments, in response to the user completing the configuration of the agent, the agent is created based on the configuration information. For example, in FIG. 2, in response to the user triggering the control 25, the configuration process can be completed; for another example, in FIG. 3, in response to the user triggering the control 37, the configuration process can be completed. After the configuration is completed, the agent can be formally put into use, for example, interact with the user in a dialogue interface, or be published for use by other users.

[0096] After the automatic update of the configuration information in the configuration interface by the method of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the user can further modify the configuration information in the configuration interface as needed. That is, the user can explicitly understand the result after the update, and further edit on this basis. In this way, the configuration efficiency can be improved while making the configuration information more accurate.

[0097] The above describes the embodiments of the configuration method of the present disclosure. The following further describes the apparatus for implementing the above various embodiments.
