Advanced Features

Take your Mazaal AI agents to the next level with advanced capabilities that enhance intelligence, improve user experience, and deliver more value to your business. This guide explores sophisticated features for power users.

Beyond the Basics: Unlocking Your Agent's Full Potential

Once you've mastered the fundamentals of creating, training, and deploying AI agents, it's time to explore the advanced features that can transform a good agent into an exceptional one.

⚡ Power Up: Advanced features aren't just bells and whistles—they're powerful capabilities that can significantly enhance your agent's effectiveness, efficiency, and impact on your business.

Conversation Design and Flow Control

Shape how conversations unfold with advanced conversation design techniques:

Guided Conversations

Lead users through structured interactions with predefined paths:

User: I need help with a return
Agent: I'd be happy to help with your return. To get started, I'll need a few pieces of information:
1. Your order number
2. The items you want to return
3. The reason for the return

Let's start with your order number. Can you provide that for me?

This approach:

• Ensures all necessary information is collected
• Provides a clear path for users to follow
• Reduces confusion and back-and-forth
• Increases completion rates for processes

Configure guided conversations in the "Conversation Design" section of your agent settings.

Contextual Memory

Enable your agent to remember and reference information from earlier in the conversation:

User: My name is Sarah Johnson
Agent: Nice to meet you, Sarah! How can I help you today?

User: I want to check my order status
Agent: I'd be happy to help you check your order status, Sarah. Could you provide your order number?

[Later in the conversation]

User: Do you have any recommendations?
Agent: Based on your previous orders, Sarah, I think you might enjoy our new collection of summer dresses, especially in the blue tones you seem to prefer.

Contextual memory allows for:

• More natural, human-like conversations
• Personalized responses based on conversation history
• Reduced repetition for users
• Enhanced relationship building

Adjust memory settings in the "Advanced" tab of your agent configuration.

Conversation Branching

Create dynamic conversation flows that adapt based on user responses:

For example, a support agent might:

1. Ask if the issue is with a product or service
2. Based on the answer, follow different troubleshooting paths
3. Adapt questions based on previous responses
4. Offer different solutions depending on the specific situation

This creates a tailored experience that efficiently addresses each user's unique needs.

Configure branching logic in the "Conversation Flows" section of your agent dashboard.

Enhanced Knowledge Capabilities

Take your agent's knowledge management to the next level:

• ⚖️ Knowledge Weighting: Assign different importance levels to various knowledge sources, ensuring the most authoritative information takes precedence when answering questions.
• 🔍 Semantic Search Tuning: Fine-tune how your agent searches for information, adjusting relevance thresholds and context window sizes for optimal retrieval.
• 📊 Knowledge Gaps Analysis: Automatically identify topics and questions your agent struggles with, highlighting areas where additional training is needed.
• 🔄 Scheduled Knowledge Updates: Set up automatic refreshes of website content and connected data sources to ensure your agent always has the latest information.

Multi-Agent Orchestration

For complex use cases, deploy multiple specialized agents that work together:

1. Create Specialized Agents Instead of one do-everything agent, create multiple agents with focused expertise:

   • Product Specialist
   • Technical Support
   • Billing Expert
   • Onboarding Guide

2. Configure Routing Logic Set up rules to determine which agent should handle which queries:

   • Keyword-based routing
   • Intent detection
   • User selection
   • Conversation context

3. Enable Agent Collaboration Allow agents to consult each other when needed:

   • Knowledge sharing between agents
   • Seamless handoffs for complex queries
   • Combined responses for multi-faceted questions

4. Implement Oversight Create a "manager" agent that:

   • Monitors conversations across agents
   • Ensures consistent user experience
   • Steps in when specialized agents need assistance
   • Provides escalation paths to human support

Info: Multi-agent orchestration is available on Professional and Enterprise plans. It's particularly valuable for organizations with diverse products, services, or knowledge domains.

Advanced Integration Capabilities

Connect your AI agents with your business systems for powerful automation:

Workflow Triggers

Configure your agent to initiate automated workflows based on conversation content:

User: I'd like to return my recent purchase

Agent: I'm sorry to hear that. I can help you start the return process. 
Could you please provide your order number?

User: Order #12345

Agent: Thank you. I've found your order for a blue sweater purchased on March 15th. 
May I ask the reason for the return?

User: It doesn't fit properly

Agent: I understand. I've initiated a return request for order #12345 due to sizing issues. 
You'll receive a return shipping label via email within the next 5 minutes. 
Your refund will be processed once we receive the item.

[Behind the scenes: Agent triggered a return workflow that:
1. Verified the order was eligible for return
2. Created a return request in the order system
3. Generated and emailed a shipping label
4. Scheduled a follow-up notification]

This seamless integration between conversation and action delivers a superior user experience while automating business processes.

Real-Time Data Access

Connect your agent to live data sources for up-to-the-minute information:

• Inventory levels and product availability
• Account balances and transaction history
• Shipping status and delivery estimates
• Appointment availability and scheduling

For example, a customer asking about product availability gets current inventory information, not just general statements from your knowledge base.

Warning: Real-time data connections require proper security configuration. Use our secure connection framework rather than embedding credentials in your agent's knowledge base.

Custom Actions

Define specific actions your agent can perform beyond conversation:

• Example Custom Actions/
  • Create support ticket
  • Schedule appointment
  • Update customer preferences
  • Generate custom quote
  • Process payment

Each action connects to your business systems through our secure API framework, allowing your agent to not just talk about helping customers, but to actually complete tasks for them.

Authentication Integration

Securely verify user identity to enable personalized and secure interactions:

• Single Sign-On (SSO) integration
• Secure token-based authentication
• Multi-factor authentication support
• Role-based access control

This allows your agent to safely handle sensitive operations and provide personalized service based on the user's identity and permissions.

Important: Authentication integration is available on Enterprise plans and requires configuration by our security team to ensure compliance with best practices.

Personalization and Adaptation

Create agents that adapt to individual users and improve over time:

• 👤 User Profiles: Build and maintain profiles of individual users, including preferences, history, and behavior patterns, to deliver increasingly personalized experiences.
