Personalización del agente de voz en tiempo real

Personalice el agente de voz en tiempo real definiendo instrucciones claras, descripciones de temas y descripciones de herramientas que guían cómo responde en tiempo real.

Instrucciones

¿Qué son las instrucciones?

  • Guía de nivel del sistema que da forma a la respuesta del modelo de IA

  • Siempre activo durante cada turno de conversación

  • Definir personalidad, tono, reglas absolutas y objetivos

Aunque puede escribir instrucciones en lenguaje natural, use un formato estructurado como JSON para obtener un rendimiento óptimo. Las instrucciones estructuradas ayudan al modelo a analizar mejor la intención, seguir la lógica ordenada y aplicar reglas de forma determinista, especialmente para flujos complejos, comportamiento condicional y control de reserva. Obtenga más información en Guía de instrucciones en tiempo real, técnicas de ingeniería de instrucciones y mejores prácticas para agentes de voz.

Las siguientes instrucciones de ejemplo pueden guiarle en la escritura de sus propias instrucciones.

Microsoft también desarrolló plantillas de instrucciones basadas en implementaciones de clientes reales.

Escribir descripciones efectivas de temas y herramientas

El contexto del modelo incluye descripciones de temas, descripciones de herramientas e instrucciones. La propiedad poco clara de la recopilación de datos puede provocar mensajes duplicados o un comportamiento inesperado.

¿Por qué el modelo solicita información "que falta"?

De forma predeterminada, los modelos de lenguaje intentan ser útiles mediante la formulación de preguntas para recopilar información necesaria. Por ejemplo:

El usuario dice: "Quiero pedir helado".

Modelo piensa: "Para completar un pedido, necesito sabor, tamaño y ingredientes. Debería preguntar.

El modelo dice: "¿Qué sabor le gustaría?"

Si tiene un tema que cubra sabor, tamaño e ingredientes, indíquelo al modelo explícitamente. De lo contrario, el modelo no sabe que el tema recopila esa información.

La solución: declare explícitamente la propiedad en descripciones.

Descripción incorrecta del tema

"Ayuda al cliente a pedir helado"

Problema: no indica al modelo que recopila los detalles.

Buena descripción del tema

"Delegar el pedido de helado a un flujo de respuesta interactiva de voz (IVR) determinista. El IVR recopila todos los detalles del pedido, incluidos el sabor, el tamaño y los ingredientes. El modelo debe llamar inmediatamente a este tema de conversación cuando el usuario quiera realizar un pedido y no debe solicitar detalles del pedido".

Elementos clave

  1. Indica lo que hace el tema (flujo determinista).

  2. Declara qué datos recopila (sabor, tamaño, ingredientes).

  3. Indica al modelo QUE NO solicite esos detalles.

Ejemplos de descripción de temas

Qué hacer Qué no hacer
"Recopila un dígito DTMF donde 1 = Cuenta corriente, 2 = Ahorros. Almacena la selección en contexto". "Pregunte al cliente qué cuenta quiere y confirme su elección".
Valida los últimos cuatro dígitos del número de cuenta introducido a través de DTMF. "Indique al cliente que se ha comprobado su cuenta".
"El IVR recopila sabor, tamaño e ingredientes. El modelo no debe solicitarlos". "Maneja el pedido de helados."
"Recupera las transacciones de las últimas 72 horas para una cuenta verificada". "Diga "Aquí están sus transacciones recientes" y pregunte qué parece sospechoso".

¿Por qué importa la distinción?

  • Buenas descripciones = Describir lo que hace el tema (funcional)

  • Descripciones incorrectas = Describir qué decir (conversacional)

  • Los temas controlan la lógica determinista; El modelo de lenguaje controla la conversación
