Usage Examples

Single Agent Example

Create and run a single agent to perform a specific task:
import { Agent } from 'praisonai';

// Single agent example - Science Explainer
const agent = new Agent({ 
  instructions: `You are a science expert who explains complex phenomena in simple terms.
Provide clear, accurate, and easy-to-understand explanations.`,
  name: "ScienceExplainer",
  verbose: true
});

agent.start("Why is the sky blue?")
  .then(response => {
    console.log('\nExplanation:');
    console.log(response);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error('Error:', error);
  });

Multi-Agent Example

Create and run multiple agents working together:
import { Agent, PraisonAIAgents } from 'praisonai';

// Create story agent
const storyAgent = new Agent({
  instructions: "You are a storyteller. Write a very short story (2-3 sentences) about a given topic.",
  name: "StoryAgent",
  verbose: true
});

// Create summary agent
const summaryAgent = new Agent({
  instructions: "You are an editor. Create a one-sentence summary of the given story.",
  name: "SummaryAgent",
  verbose: true
});

// Create and start agents
const agents = new PraisonAIAgents({
  agents: [storyAgent, summaryAgent],
  tasks: [
    "Write a short story about a cat",
    "{previous_result}"  // This will be replaced with the story
  ],
  verbose: true
});

agents.start()
  .then(results => {
    console.log('\nStory:', results[0]);
    console.log('\nSummary:', results[1]);
  })
  .catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));

Task-Based Agent Example

Create agents with specific tasks and dependencies:
import { Agent, PraisonAIAgents } from 'praisonai';

// Create recipe agent
const recipeAgent = new Agent({
  instructions: `You are a professional chef and nutritionist. Create 5 healthy food recipes that are both nutritious and delicious.
Each recipe should include:
1. Recipe name
2. List of ingredients with quantities
3. Step-by-step cooking instructions
4. Nutritional information
5. Health benefits

Format your response in markdown.`,
  name: "RecipeAgent",
  verbose: true
});

// Create blog agent
const blogAgent = new Agent({
  instructions: `You are a food and health blogger. Write an engaging blog post about the provided recipes.
The blog post should:
1. Have an engaging title
2. Include an introduction about healthy eating
3. Discuss each recipe and its unique health benefits
4. Include tips for meal planning and preparation
5. End with a conclusion encouraging healthy eating habits

Here are the recipes to write about:
{previous_result}

Format your response in markdown.`,
  name: "BlogAgent",
  verbose: true
});

// Create PraisonAIAgents instance with tasks
const agents = new PraisonAIAgents({
  agents: [recipeAgent, blogAgent],
  tasks: [
    "Create 5 healthy and delicious recipes",
    "Write a blog post about the recipes"
  ],
  verbose: true
});

// Start the agents
agents.start()
  .then(results => {
    console.log('\nFinal Results:');
    console.log('\nRecipe Task Results:');
    console.log(results[0]);
    console.log('\nBlog Task Results:');
    console.log(results[1]);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error('Error:', error);
  });

Tool Calls Examples

Direct Function Tools

Create an agent with directly registered function tools:
import { Agent } from 'praisonai';

async function getWeather(location: string) {
  console.log(`Getting weather for ${location}...`);
  return `${Math.floor(Math.random() * 30)}°C`;
}

async function getTime(location: string) {
  console.log(`Getting time for ${location}...`);
  const now = new Date();
  return `${now.getHours()}:${now.getMinutes()}`;
}

const agent = new Agent({ 
  instructions: `You provide the current weather and time for requested locations.`,
  name: "DirectFunctionAgent",
  tools: [getWeather, getTime]
});

agent.start("What's the weather and time in Paris, France and Tokyo, Japan?");
