Agent files New in 0.9.0

The agent you trained, in one file.

Weeks of documents, lessons and corrections shouldn't live in one place only. Any process agent you own fits in one .captain file: to back it up, move it to another deck, or hand a trained one to a client and update it later.

In the kiosk: the agent's ⋯ → Back up / export, in the Its place row, and New agent → From a file.

Three ways to pack it.

Pick what goes in, then fine-tune it with the Includes list.

Template

Who it is and what it was taught. A fresh copy for someone else to start from.

Trained

That, and what it learned since, without its conversations and files.

Full backup

Everything, conversations and files too. The one to restore from.

What it learned — look it over. Before a Template or Trained file leaves, you see what it learned. Insights that are usually about you or your clients (preferences, feedback, projects, deadlines, people) start unticked, and People it knows is a separate tick.

What never goes in.

An agent file carries what the agent knows, not the keys to your accounts.

Bringing one in. Nothing is made until you say so.

The dialog shows what the file holds, who made it and when, and whether it is Signed by this deck, by a deck you trust, or unsigned.

Packages For consultants and firms

Hand a client a trained agent. Update it later.

Name a Template or Trained export under Updates later, say "Bookkeeper for Acme", and each export becomes its next version. When the client brings in a newer one, Flight Deck offers Update to version N.

Backups Settings → Agent backups

Backed up while you sleep.

In the kiosk, Settings → Agent backups → Back up my agents automatically.

  1. 1

    When

    Every day or every week, from an hour you pick.

  2. 2

    How many

    Keep 1 to 60 per agent, 7 by default, for all agents or the ones you choose.

  3. 3

    Where

    On the deck, with an optional copy into a folder of your files.

  4. 4

    Restore it

    Backups kept downloads, deletes or restores any of them.

Scheduled backups are full and never carry keys. Copies in your files aren't pruned.

Signed, so a changed file is refused.

Every deck signs its bundles with its own key, and a file changed after signing is refused.

  • Your fingerprint. Agent backups shows this deck's fingerprint, to give to whoever imports your agents.
  • Decks you trust. Admins list Decks this one trusts under Admin console → Settings → Agent files.
  • Only signed files. Admins can switch on Only take files signed by this deck or a trusted one.

Limits: export and import are in the kiosk only, and Docker agents can't be exported yet. Files go up to 2 GB. Back up agent-bundles/ in the deck's data folder and bundle_signing_key in its home: losing the key gives the deck a new fingerprint.
