Overview of Workforce Tools
Summary
In this video, I provide a comprehensive overview of the different types of Skills (Tools) available to Torque agents. I explain what APIs are and how they can be used to perform various functions such as data extraction, uploading, and analysis. I also discuss ready-made tools for accessing integrated APIs, Skills (Tools) for web searching, and tools for building or accessing custom APIs. Additionally, I cover options for accessing internal data and loading documents, as well as formatting agent responses as downloadable documents. No action is requested from viewers in this video.

0:01 In previous videos, you've seen us use a variety of tools to accomplish tasks using torque agents. In this video, I'm going to give you a full overview of the different types of tools available to agents.
0:12 So as you may recall, all torque agent tools are listed in the tools section of this drop-down nodes menu here.
0:19 These fall into a few different categories. First, let's talk about APIs. APIs stands for application programming interface. Essentially, an API is a way for a computer program.
0:31 In this case, an AI agent to communicate with another program. Teammate can use APIs to perform functions like extracting data from external data set, uploading data into your workflows, and analyzing data.
0:44 Workforce APIs fall into a few different categories. First, we have a set of ready-made tools that that have already been integrated into this platform.
0:54 So the Jira tool, which you can see here, allows you to interact through your Jira boards and projects just by using an API token from your Jira account.
1:04 The Sayari search tool, which you can see here, allows you to search Sayari and external application for data on ultimate beneficial ownership, supply chain connections, and other relationships between entities around the world.
1:16 There are also two different tools which the teammates can use to search the web for specific information. Those are the SERP API tool and the web search tool.
1:34 Then, in addition to those, there's a web crawl tool here, which you can use to extract specific fields or data from one or more web pages, which you can define.
1:44 Besides these, we also have a number of tools which you can use to build or access custom APIs. The Apple Apify tool allows you to access a variety of existing actors from the website.
1:56 Apify, where you can also build custom software tools. The Apify tool allows you to define your inputs and your outputs, including search charms, and to select which outputs should be sent back and processed by the torque agent.
2:11 Now, this does require a bit of coding in some cases, but it's not terribly complex. And you can see here an example that uses dark web datasets to provide information to the agent.
2:24 And here are the outputs we've chosen to access. Finally, while we're selling APIs, there are five different tools which you can use to access.
2:38 A variety of custom APIs, or even define new ones. So these include make.com webhook, the open API toolkit, Zapier NLA, And the requests get and requests post tools.
3:06 The variety of options here means that it's incredibly easy to integrate those tools with your existing workflows no matter which tools you're using internally.
3:14 So now that we talked about APIs, let's go over your options for accessing internal data or loading documents. So in previous videos, you've seen me use the Torque data data set tool to access curated internal data.
3:30 But you can also use the Torque data document tool, the read file tool, and the code interpreter tool to access specific documents, code, and other forms of internal data depending on your needs.
3:51 You can use the PowerPoint creator and the Doc.x creator to format your agent's responses as a downloadable document such as a PowerPoint or Word document.
4:04 This makes incredibly easy for Torque agents to be used as a starting point for projects requiring work product in these formats.
4:11 And editing these outputs is as easy as downloading them just as you would and attachment from Outlook or Microsoft Teams.
4:19 If you want to save outputs to internal datasets to revisit later, you can use the right storage tool and do that instead.
4:30 Now last but not least, there are few additional tools that chain tool can be used to combine multiple agents into one workflow which we'll discuss in detail in a later video.
4:42 The calculator tool can be used to seamlessly perform complex calculations and the AI plug-in tool can be used to access agents built using chat GPT plugins.
4:54 So that's all for now, and we'll talk to you on a later video.
