What actions are available in Agent Builder?

Background

Using Procore's Agent Builder tool, you can add one or more actions to your AI Agent. For example, give the Agent the ability to create an observation item or notify task assignees. Modify or augment Agent behaviour by providing additional instructions when building or using it. Agents are used in Assist, Procore's AI tool. 

When running a 'Create' or 'Send' action, expect the Agent to do the following:

  1. Ask for any relevant information not yet provided. For example, when creating a phone call entry, the Agent will prompt you for details (date, names, comments, etc.).
  2. Ask for confirmation before proceeding with creating or sending the item.
  3. Upon confirmation, the Agent creates the item in Procore or sends the notification emails.
 Note
Procore Agents can create new items and notify users about existing items, but they cannot modify or delete existing items. Learn more about our AI parameters.
