# Glossary of terms ### Platform terms 1. **Agent** (formerly called "Twin"): a personalised artificial intelligence entity created on the AIsuru platform, capable of interacting conversationally. 2. **Contents**: the structured information that makes up an Agent's knowledge base. Each content item contains a question paired with an answer. 3. **Knowledge import**: the process of loading and integrating external data into an Agent's knowledge base. 4. **Sharing layout**: a customised interface for sharing and interacting with an Agent. 5. **Context**: variables that influence the Agent's responses by restricting access to certain contents or simply prioritising some over others. 6. **Roles** (previously called "Personas"): in AIsuru, these represent roles or categories of users that you can use to personalise the Agent's responses. The management tab was called "Personas" in earlier versions of the platform. 7. **Author**: a user with permissions to create and edit an Agent's contents. 8. **Dynamic intents**: a mechanism that lets the Agent recognise the user's intent and trigger specific actions in response. 9. **Invocation**: the process of activating an intent or a specific Agent function. 10. **Slot**: variable elements within an intent that can be extracted from the user's text. 11. **Functions**: specific actions the Agent can perform in response to certain intents. 12. **MCP**: Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for communication between AI assistants and external systems. 13. **Parameters**: configurable values that influence the behaviour of functions. 14. **Expert group**: an AIsuru feature that lets you create a group of Agents specialised in different areas of expertise, able to collaborate and provide more complete and accurate responses. 15. **Deep thinking**: an AIsuru feature that lets the AI remember and recall past interactions with users, improving response personalisation over time. 16. **Open badge**: digital certifications that can be issued by the Agent to recognise skills or achievements reached by users. 17. **Timeout**: the time interval after which the Agent can take a specific action if it receives no input from the user. 18. **Blob**: a default drop-shaped avatar used to visually represent an Agent when no custom image is uploaded. 19. **Virtual space**: an interactive 3D environment where users can explore and interact with Agents in virtual or augmented reality. 20. **PaaS** (Platform as a Service): the enterprise-focused version of AIsuru, offering greater customisation and control. 21. **Known facts**: information the Agent has stored about a specific user, used to personalise future interactions. ### Artificial Intelligence terms 1. **Generative AI**: a type of artificial intelligence capable of creating original content based on training data. 2. **LLM** (Large Language Model): a large language model, such as those used by AIsuru to generate responses. 3. **Fine-tuning**: the process of refining a pre-trained language model to adapt it to specific tasks or domains. 4. **Function calling**: the AI's ability to invoke external functions to perform specific actions or retrieve information. 5. **RAG** (Retrieval-Augmented Generation): a technique that combines information retrieval with text generation to produce more accurate and contextualised responses. 6. **System prompt**: baseline instructions given to the AI that define its general behaviour and the context in which it operates. 7. **NLP** (Natural Language Processing): the field of AI that deals with interaction between computers and human language. 8. **Embeddings**: numerical representations (vectors) of text that allow the system to understand the semantic meaning of questions and contents. 9. **Semantic matching**: the process of finding the most similar content by comparing vectors. 10. **Token**: a unit of text used by language models to process and generate text. ### Technical terms 1. **Webhook**: a mechanism that lets the Agent send data in real time to external systems when certain events occur (such as a [dynamic intent](/en/advanced-features/integrations/dynamic-intents.md) being called by AIsuru or a [function](/en/advanced-features/integrations/functions.md) being called by AIsuru with LLM support). 2. **API** (Application Programming Interface): a set of protocols and tools that allow AIsuru to integrate with other systems and applications. 3. **VR** (Virtual Reality): an immersive virtual environment where you can interact with AIsuru Agents. 4. **AR** (Augmented Reality): technology that overlays digital elements, such as Agents, onto the real world through devices like smartphones or smart glasses. 5. **Embed**: code used to embed an Agent into a website or external application. 6. **JSONL**: a file format used for exporting and importing data in AIsuru, particularly useful for fine-tuning. 7. **Confidence threshold**: a parameter that determines the level of certainty the Agent requires before using a specific content item to answer a user's question. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.aisuru.com/en/additional-resources/glossary.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
