Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, demo projects in rai use prompts that contain:
- robot identity from
rai_whoami(link) - general mission for the robot (link)
- tips and guidelines about ros2 (link)
- tips and guidelines about the task (link, link)
- documentation of attached tools (link)
Describe the solution you'd like
Few-shot prompting (https://www.promptingguide.ai/techniques/fewshot) is a technique commonly used to improve LLM agents' performance. The current demo shows that LLMs can achieve good zero-shot capabilities, but with few-show prompting, they have the potential to be significantly improved.
Few-shot prompting can be applied by adding successful interactions to the system prompt. This can be a sequence of tool calls or tool calls with specific parameters.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Fine-tuning is a next step, but few-shot should be checked first, as much cheaper and easier.
