Agent Actors: Plan-Do-Check-Adjust with Parallelized LLM Agent Trees

Create your own trees of AI agents that work towards a common objective. Together, let's explore the potential of Agent Actors and inspire the LLM community to delve deeper into this exciting realm of possibilities!

Watch this 2-minute demo walkthrough — https://www.loom.com/share/8e60585f069c4a9f8ac9f01204b41704

Here's a sample generated execution plan:

Execution Plan for Parallel LLM Application

Key Features

  • Time Weighted Long-Term Memory using langchain.retrievers.TimeWeightedVectoreStoreRetriever
  • Synthesized Working Memory: An agent draws insights from and synthesizes their relevant memories into a "working memory" of 1–12 items for use with zero-shot prompts.
  • Implements the Plan-Do-Check-Adjust (PDCA) operational framework for continuous improvement.
  • Automatic Planning and Distribution of Tasks to Agents Our ParentAgent class plans tasks for its children to do and distributes them to be completed in parallel.
  • Parallel Execution of Agents ChildAgents work in parallel to Do and Check their results. Before running, they wait for all task dependencies to be resolved and inject that into their context.
  • Create your own trees of autonomous AI agents You can nest ParentAgents under ParentAgents, or comingle them with ChildAgents. Use your own vector store, retriever, or embedding function with our ParentAgent and ChildAgent classes. See how easy it is in test_system.py.

What will you build?

  1. Terminating auto-GPTs that converges across successive runs
  2. Your own research and reporting teams of agents
  3. Simulation-driven organizational behaviour research
  4. Create a developer team of AutoGPTs that code for you together

Limitations

  1. Proof of Concept, not production ready
  2. We've only tested used GPT3.5

Installation

Requires Python: ^3.10

Install through your choice of package manager:

poetry add git+https://github.com/shaman-ai/agent-actors.git
pipenv install git+https://github.com/shaman-ai/agent-actors.git#egg=agent-actors

Learn Agent Actors in 5 minutes

from agent_actors import (
  Agent, # subclass and replace with your own `run` method
  ChildAgent, # Do and Check
  ParentAgent, # Plan and Adjust
  ConsolePrettyPrinter, # Helpful for printing JSON task outputs, pass as a handler to CallbackManager
)

Read test_system.py!

Run Agent Actors

  1. Clone the repo
  2. poetry install --with dev --with typing
  3. Modify test_system.py to your own needs
  4. Run poetry run pytest -s -k 'test_name_str_to_filter_by'

You can also run all tests with poetry run pytest, but this may take a while to execute, and is likely to hit into API rate limits.

Requests for Pull Requests

  1. Improved Agent Prompts: Develop better prompts for the Plan, Do, Check, and Adjust chains
  2. Visualization Tooling: Develop an interface for exploring first, then composing, an execution tree of Agent Actors, allowing researchers to better understand and visualize the interaction between the supervisory agent and worker agents.
  3. Evaluation Data: Understanding how this performs in different contexts is key to developing a better AGI architecture.
  4. Unlock Talking to Agents: The dialogue functions are there, and we're looking for help on how we can "talk" to these agents from another, say, IPython, to get a look into their state.
  5. Unlock Inter-Agent Communication: What happens if agents can talk to each other, not just return results to their parents and write memories to the global store?

Gratefulness

We extend our gratitude to the contributors of the Python packages langchain and ray, without which this wouldn't be possible. We extend our gratitude to the amazing researchers who wrote Generative Simulacra [TODO], ReAct [TODO], and Jeremy Howard [TODO] and FastAI, without which this wouldn't be possible. And to BabyAGI and AutoGPT for inspiring us.
