E-commerce shopping agent

How it Works / How to Build It

1. Inputs: The workflow starts with the Inputs class, which captures the user's chat history as a list of ChatMessage objects.
2. MerchantAgent Node: The MerchantAgent node processes user queries. It uses a predefined prompt to guide the AI's responses, ensuring it behaves like a helpful support agent.
3. FinalOutput Node: The output from the MerchantAgent is passed to the FinalOutput node, which formats the response for the user.
4. Functions: The workflow includes several functions for specific tasks, such as check_order_status, manage_cart, process_checkout, and create_support_ticket. These functions handle the logic for each task and return relevant information.
