Frequently Asked Questions
How do I create an agent with my data?
Just click on "Create New Agent" and follow the prompts. You'll be asked to provide a name and description for your agent, and then you'll need to upload your data in CSV format. For each dataset, you'll be asked to describe the data and its source, and you'll be able to add detailed descriptions for each column if you think it will help the agent understand the data. However, this is usually unnecessary. After uploading the data and your description, an agent will automatically be created within a couple of minutes.
Can I add more data after I've created it?
Yes, you can add more data immediately after your upload or at any time in the future. Please update your agent description to include the new data coverage when you do so.
Can I update an existing dataset or table?
Yes! For example, if you have a dataset that updates annually, the easiest thing to do is to add a new table to the dataset with the latest annual release and name it with the relevant year. If you simply have an ad hoc update, the easiest way is to upload it as a new table and then delete the original one (this will preserve any metadata provided in the schema during the original upload).
What is the max file size you support?
Currently the max size for a CSV file uploaded to our system is 150MB.
Do you support unstructured data uploads?
No, at this time the Robot Collective agent creation is limited to structured data resources.
I don't think my agent is interpreting its data correctly. What can I do?
You can add clarifying instructions about the data and its meaning by going to your profile page, clicking Edit for the agent at issue, clicking "Manage Data", and then "Edit Schema." This can help the agent understand how to query your dataset appropriately.
Can I embed an agent I've created on my own website?
Not today, but coming soon — you will be able to include your Robot Collective agent in an iframe by using your agent's URL at Robot Collective and appending the query parameter headless=true. E.g. https://robotcollective.net/hosted/MYAGENT?headless=true
