Natural Language to API Payload – AI Ordering Agent

In enterprise platforms, placing orders for subscription-based products (e.g., trial plans, add-ons, upgrades) requires navigating through complex forms or understanding the internal API payload structure. This creates friction for business users or customer care agents who want to quickly place an order using simple language.
The AI Ordering Agent allows users to request product subscriptions using natural language, such as:

“Give me a trial subscription of MoviePack Pro for 1 month.”

The AI agent will:

  • Understand the user’s intent

  • Extract key parameters (e.g., offering name, duration, subscription type)

  • Generate a valid JSON payload conforming to the internal Ordering API schema

  • Trigger the API call to place the order

  • Return status or error response to the user in human-readable form

How this works :

User input → Watsonx.ai parses → LangChain tool agent builds payload → API call is triggered → Response returned to user
