Task
A task is the unit of work your agent completes on a call. Call call.set_task() to direct the agent toward a new goal. You can invoke call.set_task() on one of your handler callbacks, or at any time (even on another thread).
Checklist items
The checklist drives the agent forward. Each item is one of three types:
| Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
guava.Field |
Collect structured data from the caller |
guava.Say |
Speak a verbatim statement |
str |
Natural language instruction for the agent |
Example
@agent.on_call_start
def on_call_start(call: guava.Call):
call.set_task(
"waitlist",
objective="You are a virtual assistant for Thai Palace. Add callers to the waitlist.",
checklist=[\
guava.Field(key="caller_name", field_type="text", description="Name for the waitlist"),\
guava.Field(key="party_size", field_type="integer", description="Number of people"),\
guava.Field(\
key="phone_number",\
field_type="text",\
description="Phone number to text when the table is ready",\
),\
"Read the phone number back to the caller to confirm.",\
],
)
@agent.on_task_complete("waitlist")
def on_waitlist_done(call: guava.Call):
logger.info("Added %s, party of %d, to waitlist.",
call.get_field("caller_name"), call.get_field("party_size"))
call.hangup("Thank the caller and let them know we'll text when their table is ready.")
