### Answer
Here are some strategies to address inconsistent agent responses:
Adjust LLM Temperature [(1) ](
)
If your agent's responses are inconsistent, try adjusting the LLM temperature . Lower temperature settings produce more consistent, deterministic outputs.
Change to a More Capable Model
If instructions are concise but the agent struggles to follow them consistently, try using a more capable LLM model for your agent .
Split Complex Nodes
For conversation flow agents, if a node contains multiple instructions and the agent inconsistently follows them, split the node into multiple focused nodes . For example, instead of one node collecting name, phone, and address, create three separate nodes .
Add Conversation Finetune Examples
To achieve a specific response style consistently, add conversation finetune examples .
Test Your Agent [(2) ](
)
Use simulation testing and batch testing to identify issues early . Retell AI offers these testing methods to ensure reliability and efficiency . Since LLMs can sometimes produce inconsistent or unexpected results, running tests multiple times helps ensure more reliable and accurate outcomes .
Review Transition Conditions [(1) ](
)
If you're using conversation flows, ensure transition conditions precisely match your intended triggers . Consider breaking down complex conditions into multiple simpler ones .
