How raia Command Works
The Agent Creation Workflow
raia Command transforms complex AI agent development into a guided, accessible process through its step-by-step Wizard interface. The Wizard walks users through each stage of agent creation using clear, simple prompts that require no technical expertise. Users begin by selecting or defining an agent role—such as customer support specialist, sales representative, or internal assistant—which establishes the foundational purpose and behavior patterns.
The platform leverages a sophisticated four-layer training architecture that combines base language models with your organization's specific knowledge and requirements. The first layer consists of powerful foundation models from OpenAI that provide general language understanding and reasoning capabilities. The second layer connects to your vector store, where all company-specific knowledge resides in AI-ready format. The third layer applies instructional prompts that define the agent's behavior, tone, and response patterns. The fourth layer adds contextual prompts that adapt responses based on real-time conversation context and user information.
Skills: Empowering Agents with Capabilities
One of Command's most powerful features is its comprehensive Skills system, which gives agents the capabilities they need to perform real-world tasks. Skills are pre-built integrations and functionalities that can be enabled with simple configuration, eliminating the need for custom development. Communication Skills enable multi-channel engagement through Live Chat, SMS, Email, and Voice, allowing agents to interact with customers wherever they are. Integration Skills connect agents to external systems through APIs, Webhooks, and custom Functions, enabling actions like updating CRM records, booking appointments, or triggering workflows in other applications.
Intelligence Skills enhance agent capabilities with features like Web Search for accessing current information, Scraping for extracting data from websites, Scoring for evaluating conversation quality, and Memory for maintaining context across interactions. Operational Skills support business processes through Calendar integration for scheduling, Notifications for alerts and updates, Reporting for analytics, Feedback for human-in-the-loop improvement, and Escalation for seamless handoff to human agents when needed.
Agent States and Lifecycle Management
raia Command implements a clear agent lifecycle with three distinct states that ensure safe development and deployment. Draft state represents the configuration and testing phase where agents are built, trained, and refined without handling real conversations. This protected environment allows teams to experiment, test different configurations, and iterate on training materials without risk to production operations.
Active state indicates that an agent is live and operational, handling real conversations across configured channels. Active agents respond to customer inquiries, execute workflows, and perform their assigned tasks with full access to skills and knowledge. Inactive state represents a paused agent that retains all settings, training, and configuration but does not handle conversations. This state is useful for seasonal agents, temporary deactivation during updates, or agents that need to be preserved for future reactivation.
