Microsoft patents system that builds AI agents from text prompts
Microsoft describes a system that takes a user's text request and automatically designs a set of AI agents and the tools they need to complete a task. The system creates specific instructions for each agent and tool, then combines them into a working package.
In the filing’s own words
A system is provided for generating an agentic system. The system receives a request including natural language text input from an interaction interface, generates an agent design prompt including an agent task description, agent output instructions, and scored agents based on the request, and inputs the agent design prompt into an agent design generator to generate one or more agents. A tool design prompt is generated to include the one or more generated agents, a tool task description, tool output instructions, and scored tools. The tool design prompt is then inputted into a tool generator to generate one or more tools, and the system generates and outputs the agentic system including the one or more generated agents and the one or more generated tools.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A computing system for generating an agentic system, the computing system comprising: processing circuitry and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to: receive a request including natural language text input from an interaction interface; generate an agent design prompt including an agent task description, agent output instructions, and scored agents based on the request; input the agent design prompt into an agent design generator to generate one or more agents; generate a tool design prompt including the one or more generated agents, a tool task description, tool output instructions, and scored tools; input the tool design prompt into a tool generator to generate one or more tools; and generate and output the agentic system including the one or more generated agents and the one or more generated tools.
