IBM Agent Builder Training
In this training, you will learn how IBM Agent Builder software can be used to build, customize, debug, and package agents for use with IBM Performance Management and IBM Tivoli Monitoring products. In addition, you will learn to create agents that track a wide variety of different data sources. Further, you learn to mix, match, and manipulate monitored data to create custom and monitor data points. Moreover, you will also learn how to add custom components specific to the different IBM monitoring environments. IBM Agent Builder can create custom agents for both IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.x and IBM Performance Management 8.x on-site and SaaS environments. This course is accessible to students from both environments, and students from each environment will have one class.

1. Introduction to IBM Agent Builder
- Overview of IBM Agent Builder and its capabilities.
- Benefits of using AI-driven virtual agents.
- Key components of Agent Builder (Dialogs, Intents, Entities, etc.).
- Use cases for virtual agents in different industries (e.g., customer support, HR, IT helpdesk).
2. Getting Started with IBM Agent Builder
- Creating an IBM Cloud account and setting up Watson Assistant.
- Navigating the Agent Builder interface.
- Understanding the project structure and workspace.
- Overview of different types of agents (e.g., Basic Agent, Enterprise Agent).
3. Building a Virtual Agent
- Defining and configuring intents (what the agent should understand).
- Creating entities (specific information the agent can extract from user input).
- Designing dialogs (defining conversational flows).
- Adding user inputs and intents to drive conversation paths.
- Managing context and variables to create dynamic conversations.
4. Training the Agent
- How to train an AI model with sample data (examples of phrases, keywords, etc.).
- Reviewing and testing trained intents and responses.
- Identifying training gaps and improving performance through additional training data.
5. Natural Language Processing (NLP)
- Overview of NLP concepts and how they apply to virtual agents.
- Using Watson NLP to enhance intent recognition.
- Customizing the natural language processing models.
6. Enhancing Virtual Agent Performance
- Adding multi-turn conversations for complex interactions.
- Using context and variables to handle conversations with multiple steps.
- Configuring error handling and fallback intents.
- Personalizing responses using user data and context.
- Handling ambiguous or incomplete user queries.
7. Integrating with External Systems
- Introduction to integrating Agent Builder with other IBM products (e.g., Watson Discovery, IBM Cloud functions).
- Setting up APIs and webhooks for external integrations.
- Connecting the virtual agent to other enterprise systems (e.g., CRM, ERP).
8. Deploying and Monitoring the Virtual Agent
- Preparing the virtual agent for deployment.
- Integrating the virtual agent with messaging platforms (e.g., Slack, WhatsApp, Web chat).
- Using analytics and reporting tools to monitor agent performance and user interactions.
- Optimizing the agent based on feedback and performance metrics.
9. Security and Privacy Considerations
- Ensuring data privacy and security in virtual agent interactions.
- Compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and other regulations.
- Managing user data and consent for AI interactions.
10. Advanced Features and Customization
- Customizing agent behavior using scripting and conditional logic.
- Extending the functionality of virtual agents using external services and custom APIs.
- Multi-language support and localization for global audiences.
11. Best Practices for Virtual Agents
- Designing for a positive user experience.
- Understanding user expectations and conversation design.
- Continuous improvement through testing, feedback, and iteration.
- Building an agent that can evolve with changing business needs.
What I will learn?
- Describe the IBM Agent Builder application and the types of agents you can make.
- Describe the basic method for creating a custom agent with Agent Builder.
- Troubleshoot Agent Builder during the development process and after deployment.
- Create agents for both the IBM Tivoli Monitoring and the IPM Performance Management environments.
- Create and check agents to track resource availability, such as processes, Windows services, command return codes, and network devices.
- Create and check agents that monitor log systems, log files, and SNMP events.
- Create and test agents to monitor data from server technologies.
- Create and test agents that monitor data from custom technologies, such as scripts, log files, Java applications, and socket connections.
- Create and monitor agents that include remote monitoring, custom attributes, derived attributes, client classes, user-entered configuration information, and TEP components such as queries, situations, and workspaces.
- Develop and check agents that use sub-nodes to potentially track local or remote data sources.
