Activating dialog and migrating skills
This feature is currently not available in the AI assistant builder of IBM watsonx Orchestrate.
To use an existing dialog skill, you need to activate the dialog feature in your assistant. Then you can upload your existing skill.
Activating dialog
To activate the dialog feature:
-
Create or open an assistant where you want to use a dialog as the primary conversation with users.
-
Open Assistant settings
. -
Click Activate dialog.
Activate dialog -
In the confirmation that displays, click Activate dialog again.
Activate dialog
Once you activate the dialog feature, it takes precedence over actions. You can use actions to supplement a dialog-based conversation, but the dialog drives the conversation with users to match their requests. For more information, see Calling actions from a dialog.
Migrating existing skills
Once the dialog feature is activated, you can start a new dialog conversation from scratch if you want. But, you probably have an existing dialog skill that you want to migrate into watsonx Assistant.
To migrate an existing dialog skill:
-
Use the classic experience to download your dialog skill in JSON format.
-
In watsonx Assistant, open the Dialog page.
-
In Options, choose Upload / Download.
Upload dialog -
On the Upload tab, upload the JSON file for your dialog skill.
