Learn the Basic Operations

This page explains how to use the integration features between Next Design and Agentiqs, including how AI agents retrieve and edit models and create metamodels.

Goal of This Guide​

Through the following operations, you will use the basic integration features between Next Design and Agentiqs.

  1. Generate models with an AI agent
  2. Perform reviews across models
  3. Create a metamodel
tip

When using this in development, you need to build an AI agent, including its system prompt.
This page helps you learn the basic operations for integration with Next Design.

Prerequisites​

Use this page in the following environment.

1. Prepare to Use Next Design and Agentiqs Together​

1-1. Create an AI Agent​

Create an AI agent for Next Design integration in Agentiqs.
From [Create New], add the following two tools.

ToolPurpose
NextDesign Model EditingRetrieve, generate, and edit models
NextDesign Profile EditingEdit metamodels profiles

1-2. Start Next Design and Open the Chat Pane​

  1. Start Next Design and open any project.

  2. Click the Agentiqs icon in the upper-right corner of the screen to open the chat pane.

    info

    In the Agentiqs chat pane, you can retrieve and edit Next Design model data.

  3. Specify the workspace below 1 and select the AI agent to use 2.

2. Provide Models as Input Data​

In the Agentiqs chat pane, you can pass Next Design models to an AI agent by drag and drop.

2-1. Provide a Single Model as Input​

Select the target model and drag and drop it into the chat pane.
The information of the selected model is passed to the AI agent as input data.

2-2. Provide Everything Including Child Elements​

By dragging and dropping while holding down the Ctrl key, you can pass all elements under the selected model as input data.

Limit the selected models to the required scope.

The data is compressed to avoid exceeding the token limit, but if you pass too many models all at once, a token error may still occur.

3. Generate Models​

Use an AI agent to generate models in Next Design.
In this example, as shown in the figure below, focus on the models marked as TBD under the [Settings] model in system requirements analysis.

Follow the steps below to generate models.

  1. Select an AI agent that has the NextDesign Model Editing tool.
  2. Select the parent model and drag and drop it into the chat pane.
    Include child elements as well by holding down Ctrl, if necessary.
  3. Instruct the AI agent to generate models as follows.
    Message example:
    設定配下のシステム要求について、具体的な要求を検討し、設定モデルの配下に要求モデルを追加せよ
tip

If you describe the structure and constraints of the models to generate in the AI agent's system prompt,
you can get more accurate results.

4. Review Across Models​

Perform an AI agent review on all models under the selected model.

  1. In Agentiqs, select the AI agent with the NextDesign Model Editing tool that you created in step 1-1.
  2. While holding down Ctrl, select the target model and drag and drop it into the chat pane.
  3. Enter a review request message and run the AI agent.
    • Message example:
      設計データの各プロパティを確認し、抜け漏れがないかをレビューし、モデルにエラーを追加せよ
      In this example, the sample is used to confirm that no data is missing.
tip
  • If you use this in actual development, create a dedicated AI agent for reviews and use it to perform the review.
  • If the review target is large or you want to check review points comprehensively, consider using the workflow feature.

5. Create a Metamodel​

Use the profile editing screen so that the AI agent creates a metamodel.

  1. In NextDesign, open the profile editing screen.
  2. In the chat pane, select the AI agent that has the NextDesign Profile Editing tool.
    What is the NextDesign Profile Editing tool

    It lets you edit and add profile structure definitions metamodels in a chat format.

  3. Instruct the AI agent about the metamodel you want to create, as shown below.
    • Message example:
      ソフトウェア開発のV字工程のうち、要件定義の工程の一般的なメタモデルを作成して
