Problem/Use Case

The development of Agent Flow can be very frustrating because the only way to test it is to start a new chat and instruct the LLM model to use it. The problem with this method is that the LLM model sometimes doesn't use Agent Flow, and even when it does, there is no detailed information about the different steps in the workflow.
It would be much easier to have an independent way to simulate an Agent Flow that provides more detailed information about the steps involved.

Proposed Solution

Add a Simulate button in the Agent Flow development interface that enables isolated, step-by-step testing with the following capabilities:

  • Manual Input Setup: users can directly set the values of all input variables before running the simulation.
  • Variable Inspection: display the current value of each variable at every step in the workflow.
  • Iterative Testing: after simulation completes, users can modify workflow blocks and restart the simulation from any point without re-running the entire flow.

Benefits

  • Accelerates development of Agent Flow
  • Enhances a lot the debugging
