## Speaker Functions

InteractiveGroupChat supports various speaker functions that control the order in which agents respond when multiple agents are mentioned.

### Built-in Speaker Functions

#### Round Robin Speaker (`round_robin_speaker`)

Agents speak in a fixed order, cycling through the list in sequence.

```python
from swarms.structs.interactive_groupchat import InteractiveGroupChat, round_robin_speaker

chat = InteractiveGroupChat(
    agents=agents,
    speaker_function=round_robin_speaker,
    interactive=False,
)
```

**Behavior:**

- Agents speak in the order they were mentioned

- Maintains state between calls to continue the cycle

- Predictable and fair distribution of speaking turns

#### Random Speaker (`random_speaker`)

Agents speak in random order each time.

```python
from swarms.structs.interactive_groupchat import InteractiveGroupChat, random_speaker

chat = InteractiveGroupChat(
    agents=agents,
    speaker_function=random_speaker,
    interactive=False,
)
```

**Behavior:**

- Speaking order is randomized for each task

- Provides variety and prevents bias toward first-mentioned agents

- Good for brainstorming sessions

#### Priority Speaker (`priority_speaker`)

Agents speak based on priority weights assigned to each agent.

```python
from swarms.structs.interactive_groupchat import InteractiveGroupChat, priority_speaker

chat = InteractiveGroupChat(
    agents=agents,
    speaker_function=priority_speaker,
    speaker_state={"priorities": {"financial_advisor": 3, "tax_expert": 2, "analyst": 1}},
    interactive=False,
)
```

**Behavior:**

- Higher priority agents speak first

- Uses weighted probability for selection

- Good for hierarchical teams or expert-led discussions

#### Random Dynamic Speaker (`random_dynamic_speaker`)

Advanced speaker function that follows @mentions in agent responses, enabling dynamic conversation flow.

```python
from swarms.structs.interactive_groupchat import InteractiveGroupChat, random_dynamic_speaker

chat = InteractiveGroupChat(
    agents=agents,
    speaker_function=random_dynamic_speaker,
    speaker_state={"strategy": "parallel"},  # or "sequential"
    interactive=False,
)
```

**Behavior:**

- **First Call**: Randomly selects an agent to start the conversation
- **Subsequent Calls**: Extracts @mentions from the previous agent's response and selects the next speaker(s)
- **Two Strategies**:
  - **Sequential**: Processes one agent at a time based on @mentions
  - **Parallel**: Processes all mentioned agents simultaneously

**Example Dynamic Flow:**
```python
# Agent A responds: "I think @AgentB should analyze this data and @AgentC should review the methodology"
# With sequential strategy: Agent B speaks next
# With parallel strategy: Both Agent B and Agent C speak simultaneously
```

**Use Cases:**
- Complex problem-solving where agents need to delegate to specific experts
- Dynamic workflows where the conversation flow depends on agent responses
- Collaborative decision-making processes

### Custom Speaker Functions

You can create your own speaker functions to implement custom logic:

```python
def custom_speaker(agents: List[str], **kwargs) -> str:
    """
    Custom speaker function that selects agents based on specific criteria.
    
    Args:
        agents: List of agent names
        **kwargs: Additional arguments (context, time, etc.)
        
    Returns:
        Selected agent name
    """
    # Your custom logic here
    if "urgent" in kwargs.get("context", ""):
        return "emergency_agent" if "emergency_agent" in agents else agents[0]
    
    # Default to first agent
    return agents[0]

# Use custom speaker function
chat = InteractiveGroupChat(
    agents=agents,
    speaker_function=custom_speaker,
    interactive=False,
)
```

### Dynamic Speaker Function Changes

You can change the speaker function during runtime:

```python
# Start with round robin
chat = InteractiveGroupChat(
    agents=agents,
    speaker_function=round_robin_speaker,
    interactive=False,
)

# Change to random
chat.set_speaker_function(random_speaker)

# Change to priority with custom priorities
chat.set_priorities({"financial_advisor": 5, "tax_expert": 3, "analyst": 1})
chat.set_speaker_function(priority_speaker)

# Change to dynamic speaker with parallel strategy
chat.set_speaker_function("random-dynamic-speaker")
chat.set_dynamic_strategy("parallel")
```

## Enhanced Collaborative Behavior

The InteractiveGroupChat now includes enhanced collaborative prompts that ensure agents work together effectively.

### Collaborative Response Protocol

Every agent receives instructions to:

1. **Read and understand** all previous responses from other agents
2. **Acknowledge** what other agents have said
3. **Build upon** previous insights rather than repeating information
4. **Synthesize** multiple perspectives when possible
5. **Delegate** appropriately using @mentions

### Response Structure

Agents are guided to structure their responses as:

1. **ACKNOWLEDGE**: "I've reviewed the responses from @agent1 and @agent2..."
2. **BUILD**: "Building on @agent1's analysis of the data..."
3. **CONTRIBUTE**: "From my perspective, I would add..."
4. **COLLABORATE**: "To get a complete picture, let me ask @agent3 to..."
5. **SYNTHESIZE**: "Combining our insights, the key findings are..."

### Example Collaborative Response

```python
task = "Analyze our Q3 performance. @analyst @researcher @strategist"

# Expected collaborative behavior:
# Analyst: "Based on the data analysis, I can see clear growth trends in Q3..."
# Researcher: "Building on @analyst's data insights, I can add that market research shows..."
# Strategist: "Synthesizing @analyst's data and @researcher's market insights, I recommend..."
```

## Error Classes

### InteractiveGroupChatError

**Description:**  

Base exception class for InteractiveGroupChat errors.

**Example:**
```python
try:
    # Some operation that might fail
    chat.run("@InvalidAgent hello")
except InteractiveGroupChatError as e:
    print(f"Chat error occurred: {e}")
```

### AgentNotFoundError

**Description:**  

Raised when a mentioned agent is not found in the group.

**Example:**
```python
try:
    chat.run("@NonExistentAgent hello!")
except AgentNotFoundError as e:
    print(f"Agent not found: {e}")
```

### NoMentionedAgentsError

**Description:**  

Raised when no agents are mentioned in the task.

**Example:**

```python
try:
    chat.run("Hello everyone!")  # No @mentions
except NoMentionedAgentsError as e:
    print(f"No agents mentioned: {e}")
```

### InvalidTaskFormatError

**Description:**  

Raised when the task format is invalid.

**Example:**
```python
try:
    chat.run("@Invalid@Format")
except InvalidTaskFormatError as e:
    print(f"Invalid task format: {e}")
```

### InvalidSpeakerFunctionError

**Description:**  

Raised when an invalid speaker function is provided.

**Example:**
```python
def invalid_speaker(agents, **kwargs):
    return 123  # Should return string, not int

try:
    chat = InteractiveGroupChat(
        agents=agents,
        speaker_function=invalid_speaker,
    )
except InvalidSpeakerFunctionError as e:
    print(f"Invalid speaker function: {e}")
```

## Best Practices

| Best Practice | Description | Example |
|--------------|-------------|---------|
| Agent Naming | Use clear, unique names for agents to avoid confusion | `financial_advisor`, `tax_expert` |
| Task Format | Always use @mentions to direct tasks to specific agents | `@financial_advisor What's your investment advice?` |
| Speaker Functions | Choose appropriate speaker functions for your use case | Round robin for fairness, priority for expert-led discussions |
| Dynamic Speaker | Use random-dynamic-speaker for complex workflows with delegation | When agents need to call on specific experts |
| Strategy Selection | Choose sequential for focused discussions, parallel for brainstorming | Sequential for analysis, parallel for idea generation |
| Collaborative Design | Design agents with complementary expertise for better collaboration | Analyst + Researcher + Strategist |
| Error Handling | Implement proper error handling for various scenarios | `try/except` blocks for `AgentNotFoundError` |
| Context Management | Be aware that agents can see the full conversation history | Monitor conversation length and relevance |
| Resource Management | Consider the number of agents and task length to optimize performance | Limit max_loops and task size |
| Dynamic Adaptation | Change speaker functions based on different phases of work | Round robin for brainstorming, priority for decision-making |
