# `Agent`

Swarm Agent is a powerful autonomous agent framework designed to connect Language Models (LLMs) with various tools and long-term memory. This class provides the ability to ingest and process various types of documents such as PDFs, text files, Markdown files, JSON files, and more. The Agent structure offers a wide range of features to enhance the capabilities of LLMs and facilitate efficient task execution.

## Overview

The `Agent` class establishes a conversational loop with a language model, allowing for interactive task execution, feedback collection, and dynamic response generation. It includes features such as:

1. **Conversational Loop**: Enables back-and-forth interaction with the model.
2. **Feedback Collection**: Allows users to provide feedback on generated responses.
3. **Stoppable Conversation**: Supports custom stopping conditions for the conversation.
4. **Retry Mechanism**: Implements a retry system for handling issues in response generation.
5. **Tool Integration**: Supports the integration of various tools for enhanced capabilities.
6. **Long-term Memory Management**: Incorporates vector databases for efficient information retrieval.
7. **Document Ingestion**: Processes various document types for information extraction.
8. **Interactive Mode**: Allows real-time communication with the agent.
9. **Sentiment Analysis**: Evaluates the sentiment of generated responses.
10. **Output Filtering and Cleaning**: Ensures generated responses meet specific criteria.
11. **Asynchronous and Concurrent Execution**: Supports efficient parallelization of tasks.
12. **Planning and Reasoning**: Implements techniques like algorithm of thoughts for enhanced decision-making.

## Getting Started

To use the Swarm Agent, first install the required dependencies:

```bash
pip3 install -U swarms
```

Then, you can initialize and use the agent as follows:

```python
import os
from swarms import Agent
from swarm_models import OpenAIChat
from swarms.prompts.finance_agent_sys_prompt import FINANCIAL_AGENT_SYS_PROMPT

# Get the OpenAI API key from the environment variable
api_key = os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")

# Create an instance of the OpenAIChat class
model = OpenAIChat(
    api_key=api_key, model_name="gpt-4-0613", temperature=0.1
)

# Initialize the agent
agent = Agent(
    agent_name="Financial-Analysis-Agent",
    system_prompt=FINANCIAL_AGENT_SYS_PROMPT,
    llm=model,
    max_loops=1,
    autosave=True,
    dashboard=False,
    verbose=True,
    dynamic_temperature_enabled=True,
    saved_state_path="finance_agent.json",
    user_name="swarms_corp",
    retry_attempts=1,
    context_length=200000,
    return_step_meta=False,
    output_type="str",
)

# Run the agent
response = agent.run(
    "How can I establish a ROTH IRA to buy stocks and get a tax break? What are the criteria?"
)
print(response)
```

## Advanced Usage

### Tool Integration

To integrate tools with the Swarm `Agent`, you can pass a list of callable functions with types and doc strings to the `tools` parameter when initializing the `Agent` instance. The agent will automatically convert these functions into an OpenAI function calling schema and make them available for use during task execution.

## Requirements for a tool
- Function
  - With types
  - with doc strings

```python
from swarms import Agent
from swarm_models import OpenAIChat
import subprocess

def terminal(code: str):
    """
    Run code in the terminal.

    Args:
        code (str): The code to run in the terminal.

    Returns:
        str: The output of the code.
    """
    out = subprocess.run(code, shell=True, capture_output=True, text=True).stdout
    return str(out)

# Initialize the agent with a tool
agent = Agent(
    agent_name="Terminal-Agent",
    llm=OpenAIChat(api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")),
    tools=[terminal],
    system_prompt="You are an agent that can execute terminal commands. Use the tools provided to assist the user.",
)

# Run the agent
response = agent.run("List the contents of the current directory")
print(response)
```

### Long-term Memory Management

The Swarm Agent supports integration with vector databases for long-term memory management. Here's an example using ChromaDB:

```python
from swarms import Agent
from swarm_models import Anthropic
from swarms_memory import ChromaDB

# Initialize ChromaDB
chromadb = ChromaDB(
    metric="cosine",
    output_dir="finance_agent_rag",
)

# Initialize the agent with long-term memory
agent = Agent(
    agent_name="Financial-Analysis-Agent",
    llm=Anthropic(anthropic_api_key=os.getenv("ANTHROPIC_API_KEY")),
    long_term_memory=chromadb,
    system_prompt="You are a financial analysis agent with access to long-term memory.",
)

# Run the agent
response = agent.run("What are the components of a startup's stock incentive equity plan?")
print(response)
```

### Interactive Mode

To enable interactive mode, set the `interactive` parameter to `True` when initializing the `Agent`:

```python
agent = Agent(
    agent_name="Interactive-Agent",
    llm=OpenAIChat(api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")),
    interactive=True,
    system_prompt="You are an interactive agent. Engage in a conversation with the user.",
)

# Run the agent in interactive mode
agent.run("Let's start a conversation")
```

### Sentiment Analysis

To perform sentiment analysis on the agent's outputs, you can provide a sentiment analyzer function:

```python
from textblob import TextBlob

def sentiment_analyzer(text):
    analysis = TextBlob(text)
    return analysis.sentiment.polarity

agent = Agent(
    agent_name="Sentiment-Analysis-Agent",
    llm=OpenAIChat(api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")),
    sentiment_analyzer=sentiment_analyzer,
    sentiment_threshold=0.5,
    system_prompt="You are an agent that generates responses with sentiment analysis.",
)

response = agent.run("Generate a positive statement about AI")
print(response)
```



### Undo Functionality

```python
# Feature 2: Undo functionality
response = agent.run("Another task")
print(f"Response: {response}")
previous_state, message = agent.undo_last()
print(message)
```

### Response Filtering

```python
# Feature 3: Response filtering
agent.add_response_filter("report")
response = agent.filtered_run("Generate a report on finance")
print(response)
```

### Saving and Loading State

```python
# Save the agent state
agent.save_state('saved_flow.json')

# Load the agent state
agent = Agent(llm=llm_instance, max_loops=5)
agent.load_state('saved_flow.json')
agent.run("Continue with the task")
```

### Async and Concurrent Execution

```python
# Run a task concurrently
response = await agent.run_concurrent("Concurrent task")
print(response)

# Run multiple tasks concurrently
tasks = [
    {"task": "Task 1"},
    {"task": "Task 2", "img": "path/to/image.jpg"},
    {"task": "Task 3", "custom_param": 42}
]
responses = agent.bulk_run(tasks)
print(responses)
```


### Various other settings

```python
# # Convert the agent object to a dictionary
print(agent.to_dict())
print(agent.to_toml())
print(agent.model_dump_json())
print(agent.model_dump_yaml())

# Ingest documents into the agent's knowledge base
agent.ingest_docs("your_pdf_path.pdf")

# Receive a message from a user and process it
agent.receive_message(name="agent_name", message="message")

    "How can I establish a ROTH IRA to buy stocks and get a tax break? What are the criteria?"
)

# Run the agent with multiple system prompts
agent.bulk_run(
    [
        "How can I establish a ROTH IRA to buy stocks and get a tax break? What are the criteria?",
        "Another system prompt",
    ]
)

## Auto Generate Prompt + CPU Execution


```python

import os
from swarms import Agent
from swarm_models import OpenAIChat

from dotenv import load_dotenv

# Load environment variables
load_dotenv()

# Retrieve the OpenAI API key from the environment variable
api_key = os.getenv("GROQ_API_KEY")

# Initialize the model for OpenAI Chat
model = OpenAIChat(
    openai_api_base="https://api.groq.com/openai/v1",
    openai_api_key=api_key,
    model_name="llama-3.1-70b-versatile",
    temperature=0.1,
)

# Initialize the agent with automated prompt engineering enabled
agent = Agent(
    agent_name="Financial-Analysis-Agent",
    system_prompt=None,  # System prompt is dynamically generated
    agent_description=None,
    llm=model,
    max_loops=1,
    autosave=True,
    dashboard=False,
    verbose=False,
    dynamic_temperature_enabled=True,
    saved_state_path="finance_agent.json",
    user_name="Human:",
    return_step_meta=False,
    output_type="string",
    streaming_on=False,
    auto_generate_prompt=True,  # Enable automated prompt engineering
)

# Run the agent with a task description and specify the device
agent.run(
    "How can I establish a ROTH IRA to buy stocks and get a tax break? What are the criteria",
    ## Will design a system prompt based on the task if description and system prompt are None
    device="cpu",
)

# Print the dynamically generated system prompt
print(agent.system_prompt)


```

## Best Practices

1. Always provide a clear and concise `system_prompt` to guide the agent's behavior.
2. Use `tools` to extend the agent's capabilities for specific tasks.
3. Implement error handling and utilize the `retry_attempts` feature for robust execution.
4. Leverage `long_term_memory` for tasks that require persistent information.
5. Use `interactive` mode for real-time conversations and `dashboard` for monitoring.
6. Implement `sentiment_analysis` for applications requiring tone management.
7. Utilize `autosave` and `save_state`/`load_state` methods for continuity across sessions.
8. Optimize token usage with `dynamic_context_window` and `tokens_checks` methods.
9. Use `concurrent` and `async` methods for performance-critical applications.
10. Regularly review and analyze feedback using the `analyze_feedback` method.

By following these guidelines and leveraging the Swarm Agent's extensive features, you can create powerful, flexible, and efficient autonomous agents for a wide range of applications.
