Nvidia patents system to route AI agent questions to the right app screen
Nvidia describes a method for AI agents to pause and ask users for information while running complex tasks. The system automatically picks the correct app screen or interface to display the question, based on how the user prefers to interact, and then sends the answer back to the AI to continue the job.
In the filing’s own words
An artificial intelligence (AI) agent system receives requests for user input from various workflows during execution. A user input manager identifies a registered callback handler associated with a specific user interface front-end, which corresponds to a particular interaction modality. The manager transmits the request to this front-end, which processes the input according to its modality and returns the user's input. The user input manager then routes the response to the original workflows, allowing the AI agent system to continue execution with the user's input.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. One or more processors comprising processing circuitry to perform operations comprising: receiving, by a user input manager of an artificial intelligence (AI) agent system, a request for user input from one or more AI agent workflows during execution of the one or more AI agent workflows; based on the request for the user input, identifying, by the user input manager, a registered callback handler associated with a user interface front-end from a plurality of available user interface front-ends, each of the available user interface front-ends to interact with a user through a different modality; transmitting the request for user input to the identified user interface front-end via the registered callback handler, the identified user interface front-end processing the request for user input according to a specific interaction modality of the identified user interface front-end and obtaining the user input; and routing, by the user input manager, a response from the identified user interface front-end comprising the obtained user input to the one or more AI agent workflows.
