🎬 Quick Demo

See AgentMind in action with this 2-minute demo showing real multi-agent collaboration:

from agentmind import Agent, AgentMind
from agentmind.llm import OllamaProvider
import asyncio

async def main():
    # Initialize with Ollama (or use OpenAI/Anthropic)
    llm = OllamaProvider(model="llama3.2")
    mind = AgentMind(llm_provider=llm)
    
    # Create specialized agents
    researcher = Agent(
        name="Researcher",
        role="research",
        system_prompt="You are a thorough researcher who finds facts."
    )
    
    writer = Agent(
        name="Writer",
        role="writer",
        system_prompt="You are a creative writer who crafts engaging content."
    )
    
    # Add agents to the system
    mind.add_agent(researcher)
    mind.add_agent(writer)
    
    # Start collaboration - agents work together automatically!
    result = await mind.start_collaboration(
        "Write a blog post about quantum computing",
        max_rounds=3,
        use_llm=True
    )
    
    # Get the collaborative result
    print(result.final_output)
    print(f"\nSuccess: {result.success}")
    print(f"Rounds: {result.total_rounds}")
    print(f"Messages: {result.total_messages}")

asyncio.run(main())

Expected Output:

[AgentMind] Initialized - Multi-agent collaboration framework started!
[+] Added agent: Researcher (research)
[+] Added agent: Writer (writer)
[*] Starting multi-agent collaboration: Write a blog post about quantum computing
[>] Round 1: Received 2 responses

=== Collaboration Summary ===
• Researcher: Quantum computing leverages quantum mechanics principles for computation.
  Key concepts include superposition, entanglement, and quantum gates. Current research
  focuses on error correction and scalability...
  
• Writer: Let me transform these technical details into an engaging narrative. Imagine
  a world where computers can solve problems that would take classical computers
  millennia. That's the promise of quantum computing...

[*] Collaboration completed successfully

Success: True
Rounds: 1
Messages: 3

Try it yourself:

# Run the interactive demo
python demo_quick_start.py

# Or install and try examples
pip install agentmind
python examples/research_team.py

What just happened?

Two agents with different roles (researcher + writer) were created
They automatically collaborated on the task
Each agent contributed based on their expertise
The system coordinated their responses and produced a final output

Key Features Demonstrated:

✅ Multi-agent collaboration with role specialization
✅ Automatic coordination and message routing
✅ LLM-powered intelligent responses
✅ Built-in memory and context management
✅ Real-time progress tracking

Why AgentMind?

Unlike heavyweight frameworks that force you into rigid patterns, AgentMind gives you the essentials:

Truly Lightweight: Core framework is <500 lines. No bloat, no vendor lock-in
LLM Agnostic: Works with Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, or any LiteLLM-supported provider
Async First: Built on asyncio for real concurrent agent collaboration
Memory Built-in: Conversation history and context management out of the box
Tool System: Extensible function calling for agents
Production Ready: Type hints, comprehensive tests, proper error handling

🚀 Quick Start

1-Minute Setup

Option A: Local with Ollama (Recommended)

# Install Ollama
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh

# Pull a model
ollama pull llama3.2

# Install AgentMind
pip install agentmind

# Run your first collaboration
python -c "
from agentmind import Agent, AgentMind
from agentmind.llm import OllamaProvider
import asyncio

async def main():
    llm = OllamaProvider(model='llama3.2')
    mind = AgentMind(llm_provider=llm)
    
    researcher = Agent(name='Researcher', role='research')
    writer = Agent(name='Writer', role='writer')
    
    mind.add_agent(researcher)
    mind.add_agent(writer)
    
    result = await mind.collaborate('Write about AI trends', max_rounds=3)
    print(result)

asyncio.run(main())
"

Option B: Cloud with OpenAI

# Install with cloud support
pip install agentmind[full]

# Set API key
export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key-here

# Run (same code, just change provider)
# Use: LiteLLMProvider(model="gpt-4")

Copy-Paste Ready Example

from agentmind import Agent, AgentMind
from agentmind.llm import OllamaProvider
import asyncio

async def main():
    # Initialize with your LLM provider
    llm = OllamaProvider(model="llama3.2")
    mind = AgentMind(llm_provider=llm)
    
    # Create specialized agents
    researcher = Agent(
        name="Researcher",
        role="research",
        system_prompt="You are a thorough researcher who finds facts."
    )
    
    writer = Agent(
        name="Writer", 
        role="writer",
        system_prompt="You are a creative writer who crafts engaging content."
    )
    
    # Add agents and collaborate
    mind.add_agent(researcher)
    mind.add_agent(writer)
    
    result = await mind.collaborate(
        "Write a blog post about quantum computing",
        max_rounds=3
    )
    
    print(result)

asyncio.run(main())
