Interacting with the Decision Assistant in Build mode

Learn how to use the chat-based interface of the Build mode to create and refine decision services: enter prompts, review and the adjust generated content, and restart conversations.

Navigating the Decision Assistant interface

When you first launch the Build mode, the interface displays only the chat view. As you begin interacting with the assistant, the interface dynamically expands to include two panes:

The Decision Assistant consists of two panes: the chat and the canvas workspace

Chat pane

It displays the conversation history and updates it as the assistant processes or streams new messages. For more information about the actions you can perform in the chat, see Using the chat.

When the assistant starts generating the decision service, a collapsible panel appears at the bottom of the chat, displaying all planned steps. Use this panel to track step status: pending, in progress, or completed.

Canvas workspace

It appears alongside the chat panel after you start interacting with the assistant. It provides a visual and interactive area where you can review the decision service that is generated by the assistant. To review the decision service, you can browse the three tabs it contains:

Policy: Shows the business policy that you provided or that the assistant generated and highlights where each part is applied in the decision service.
Data model: Displays the data types and attributes created.
Decision model or Task model: Shows the decision diagram or ruleflow, along with business rules.

From the canvas workspace, you can also click Download specification Download specification button

to download the generated decision service at any time.

Two buttons can be found at the top of the Decision Assistant window:

Clicking the Restart button restarts the conversation with the assistant from the beginning. The chat history will be lost if you restart the conversation.
Clicking the AI button displays information on how the assistant works and the large language model that it uses to generate output.
