Practical overview
When it fits
Use OpenAGI when you want to assemble and develop a Python agent from planners, model providers, actions and optional Workers, and can supply the relevant external-service credentials.
Who it is for
- Python developers prototyping autonomous or multi-agent applications.
- Teams exploring task-oriented agents that use a language model and search actions.
Documented uses
- Build a trip-planning agent with a planner, a Worker and DuckDuckGo search.
- Create an autonomous information agent using a planner, Gemini and Tavily search.
- Add long-term memory to an example agent so it can reference earlier interactions.
Requirements & limits
- The repository lists Python 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11.
- Examples use external model and search services, with credentials supplied through environment variables.
- The project is licensed under Apache-2.0.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
