Controllable Agents for RAG¶

Adding agentic capabilities on top of your RAG pipeline can allow you to reason over much more complex questions.

But a big pain point for agents is the lack of steerability/transparency. An agent may tackle a user query through chain-of-thought/planning, which requires repeated calls to an LLM. During this process it can be hard to inspect what's going on, or stop/correct execution in the middle.

This notebook shows you how to use our brand-new lower-level agent API, which allows controllable step-wise execution, on top of a RAG pipeline.

We showcase this over Wikipedia documents.

Run Some Queries¶

We now demonstrate the capabilities of our step-wise agent framework.

We show how it can handle complex queries, both e2e as well as step by step.

We can then show how we can steer the outputs.

Out of the box¶

Calling chat will attempt to run the task end-to-end, and we notice that it only ends up calling one tool.

In [ ]:

response = agent.chat("Analyze the changes in R&D expenditures and revenue")

response = agent.chat("Analyze the changes in R&D expenditures and revenue")

Thought: To analyze the changes in R&D expenditures and revenue, I can use the quarterly financial data provided by the tools.
Action: march_2022
Action Input: {'input': 'R&D expenditures'}
Observation: Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31 increased from $515 million in 2021 to $587 million in 2022, which is a 14% change. The increase was primarily attributable to a $63 million increase in stock-based compensation expense. The percentage of revenue allocated to research and development decreased from 18% in 2021 to 9% in 2022.
Thought: I have obtained the information about the changes in R&D expenditures for the quarter ending March 2022. Now, I need to gather information about the revenue for the same period to analyze the changes.
Action: march_2022
Action Input: {'input': 'revenue'}
Observation: Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was $6,854 million, which represents a 136% increase from the $2,903 million reported in the same period in 2021. This increase was primarily attributable to a 35% increase in Gross Bookings, driven by increases in Mobility Trip volumes as the business recovers from the impacts of COVID-19, and a $1.5 billion increase in Freight revenue resulting from the acquisition of Transplace in the fourth quarter of 2021. Additionally, there was a $304 million increase in Delivery revenue and a $200 million increase in Mobility revenue due to business model changes in the UK.
Thought: I have obtained the information about the changes in R&D expenditures and revenue for the quarter ending March 2022. Now, I can analyze the changes.
Answer: The R&D expenditures for the three months ended March 31 increased from $515 million in 2021 to $587 million in 2022, which is a 14% change. This increase was primarily driven by a $63 million increase in stock-based compensation expense. The percentage of revenue allocated to research and development decreased from 18% in 2021 to 9% in 2022.

On the other hand, the revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was $6,854 million, representing a 136% increase from the $2,903 million reported in the same period in 2021. This significant increase in revenue was primarily driven by a 35% increase in Gross Bookings, driven by increases in Mobility Trip volumes as the business recovers from the impacts of COVID-19. Additionally, there was a $1.5 billion increase in Freight revenue resulting from the acquisition of Transplace in the fourth quarter of 2021. Furthermore, there was a $304 million increase in Delivery revenue and a $200 million increase in Mobility revenue due to business model changes in the UK.

Overall, while R&D expenditures increased, the revenue experienced a substantial growth, indicating positive financial performance for Uber in the first quarter of 2022.

Test Step-Wise Execution¶

The end-to-end chat didn't work. Let's try to break it down step-by-step, and inject our own feedback if things are going wrong.

In [ ]:

# start task
task = agent.create_task("Analyze the changes in R&D expenditures and revenue")

# start task task = agent.create_task("Analyze the changes in R&D expenditures and revenue")

This returns a Task object, which contains the input, additional state in extra_state, and other fields.

Now let's try executing a single step of this task.

We run into the same issue. The query finished even though we haven't analyzed the docs yet! Can we add a user input?

Observation: Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022, were $704 million, which is a 44% increase from $488 million in the same period in 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, research and development expenses were $1,291 million, up 29% from $1,003 million in the same period in 2021. The increase in expenses for both periods was primarily due to a rise in stock-based compensation and an increase in employee headcount costs.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, research and development expenses were $2,051 million, up 37% from $1,496 million for the same period in 2021.

Setup Human In the Loop Chat¶

With these capabilities, it's easy to setup human-in-the-loop (or LLM-in-the-loop) feedback when interacting with an agent, especially for long-running tasks.

We setup a double-loop: one for the task (the user "chatting" with an agent), and the other to control the intermediate executions.

>> Human:  What are the risk factors in the last two quarters?

Added user message to memory: What are the risk factors in the last two quarters?
Thought: I need to use a tool to help me answer the question.
Action: march_2022
Action Input: {'input': 'risk factors'}
Observation: The risk factors affecting the business include:

- Significant reliance on Gross Bookings from trips in large metropolitan areas, which may be negatively affected by various conditions including economic, social, weather, regulatory conditions, and circumstances like COVID-19.
- Potential failure to offer autonomous vehicle technologies on the platform, or offering technologies that may be inferior or perceived as less safe compared to competitors.
- Dependence on retaining and attracting high-quality personnel, with the risk that attrition or unsuccessful succession planning could adversely affect the business.
- Risks of security or data privacy breaches, unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction of proprietary, confidential, employee, or platform user data.
- Threats from cyberattacks, such as malware, ransomware, viruses, spamming, and phishing attacks, which could harm reputation, business, and operating results.
- Climate change risks, including physical and transitional risks, that could adversely impact the business if not managed effectively.
- Commitments related to climate change that require significant investment and management time, with the potential need to revise timeframes for implementing these commitments due to circumstances beyond control.
- Reliance on third parties for distribution of products and offerings and for providing software used in certain products, with the risk that interference could adversely affect the business.
- The need for additional capital to support business growth, which might not be available on reasonable terms or at all.
- Risks associated with identifying, acquiring, and integrating suitable businesses, and the performance and integration of acquired businesses.
- The possibility of being blocked from or limited in providing or operating products and offerings in certain jurisdictions, potentially requiring modifications to the business model.
- Numerous legal and regulatory risks that could have an adverse impact on the business and future prospects.
- Extensive government regulation and oversight relating to the provision of payment and financial services.
- Risks related to the collection, use, transfer, disclosure, and other processing of data, which could result in legal actions and negative publicity.
- The need to protect intellectual property and the risk of incurring significant expenses if third parties claim misappropriation of their intellectual property.
- Volatility in the market price of common stock, which may not align with operating performance, potentially leading to the inability to resell shares at or above the purchase price.
- The COVID-19 pandemic's adverse impact on business, financial condition, and results of operations, with the potential for continued adverse effects.
- Adverse effects on the business if Drivers were classified as employees instead of independent contractors.
