Add a “human-in-the-loop” checkpoint to your AI agent chat in less than 30 minutes!

Описание: In my YouTube hands-on session we extend the Galaxium Travels booking agent from the previous video and show you how to:
• visually design a flow that pauses for human approval
• ask the end-user to confirm or reject an action (user-registration)
• conditionally invoke a tool only after confirmation
• map data in/out of the flow and show the result back to the chat UI

WARNING
Custom Docker-Compose in watsonx Orchestrate it not official supported: https://developer.watson-orchestrate....
Before starting watsonx Orchestrate Developer Edition with a custom Docker Compose file, make sure you understand every change in your configuration. The ADK doesn’t offers official support to custom Compose setups, so you’re responsible for troubleshooting any issues that arise.

If you’re going to build AI agents with compliance or audit requirements in the future, this tutorial could be useful to you.

👷‍♂️ WHAT YOU’LL BUILD
• A decision node that lets the agent select the right tool
• A human-approval gate before tool execution
• Branching logic for the “user already exists” scenario
• End-to-end test of the flow inside the Galaxium Travels demo app
