    Hi Everybody,

    Thank you for your patience while we reviewed your questions from the last webinar. We wanted to wait until the latest features were released today, June 30, 2025, which will help to answer some questions.

    Please refer to the "What's New" section in the IBM watsonx Orchestrate documentation to see the latest features and to answer some of your questions.

    Webinar Question: What is the difference between the Agent Builder and the ADK? 

    IBM watsonx Orchestrate enables you to quickly build AI agents and provides two ways to build agents.

    • "No-code/low-code" Agent Builder in the web interface, more suited to non-programmers responsible for building AI and automation tools for their organizations.
    • "Pro-code" command-line Agent Developer Kit (ADK), intended for developers and programmers, comfortable with the Python scripting language and using a command-line interface.

    Refer to the following references to learn the differences between the two.

    Webinar Question: Can you please help with understanding the difference between ADK flows vs LangGraph multi-agent flows.
    Both enable you to combine multiple agents to work together to build a complete solution. IBM watsonx Orchestrate allows you to quickly build multi-agent solutions, using either the Agent Builder or the Agent Development Kit (ADK). The Agent Builder provides a graphical interface, with the option to use the ADK command-line for more complex solutions. In general, LangGraph is more of a do-it-yourself tool and requires more technical skills to create and maintain. IBM watsonx Orchestrate provides both SaaS and on-premise versions, with ready-made tools, agents, observability, and security. For ADK flow details, please see this reference.

    Webinar Question: Could you clarify where documents are stored when uploaded to the Agent Knowledge?
    Uploaded knowledge files are restricted to the scope in which they are uploaded. As discussed in the webinar, IBM watsonx Orchestrate uses an internal database to index your documents, but access is restricted. For example, if a person with the user role starts a new AI agent chat and uploads a document within that chat, that document would not be visible to another person with the same user role in a different chat.
     
    If you have more strict security requirements, then please contact your IBM representative regarding data isolation.

    Webinar Question: Which embedding model is used for the Files Upload option in the Knowledge Base? Can it be changed?
    You cannot choose an embedding model for a built-in knowledge base. If you want to use a specific embedding model , then you may create your own external index. See the following IBM watsonx Orchestrate Agent Development Kit (ADK) documentation.

    Webinar Question: Is the use of the free-text Description field in the supervisor agent routing considered a reliable approach?
    When using agents, consider your solution at a high level and plan for standards, consistency and uniqueness across all agents to reduce the risk of ambiguous routing requests.
    Each use case is unique, and planning is key. First understand your existing process and understand which AI or automations are appropriate at each step. If your process has a fixed structure, then you may want to consider building your automation as a workflow. However, if agents are more appropriate or you are not sure, then perform simple "wire-frame" tests with multiple agents to understand how agents behave in your environment, with your data, your terminology, and your users.
