Create Custom Tools

Step 1: Install the `praisonai` Package

First, you need to install the praisonai package. Open your terminal and run the following command:

pip install praisonai

Step 2: Create the `InternetSearchTool`

Next, create a file named tools.py and add the following code to define the InternetSearchTool:

from duckduckgo_search import DDGS
from praisonai_tools import BaseTool

class InternetSearchTool(BaseTool):
    name: str = "Internet Search Tool"
    description: str = "Search Internet for relevant information based on a query or latest news"

    def _run(self, query: str):
        ddgs = DDGS()
        results = ddgs.text(keywords=query, region='wt-wt', safesearch='moderate', max_results=5)
        return results

Step 3: Define the Agent Configuration

Create a file named agents.yaml and add the following content to configure the agent:

framework: crewai
topic: research about the causes of lung disease
roles:
  research_analyst:
    backstory: Experienced in analyzing scientific data related to respiratory health.
    goal: Analyze data on lung diseases
    role: Research Analyst
    tasks:
      data_analysis:
        description: Gather and analyze data on the causes and risk factors of lung diseases.
        expected_output: Report detailing key findings on lung disease causes.
    tools:
    - InternetSearchTool

Step 4: Run the PraisonAI Tool

To run the PraisonAI tool, simply type the following command in your terminal:

praisonai

If you want to run the autogen framework, use:

praisonai --framework autogen

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the duckduckgo_search package installed. If not, you can install it using:

pip install duckduckgo_search

That’s it! You should now have the PraisonAI tool installed and configured.

    name: str = "InternetSearchTool"
    description: str = "Search Internet for relevant information based on a query or latest news"

    def _run(self, query: str):
        ddgs = DDGS()
        results = ddgs.text(keywords=query, region='wt-wt', safesearch='moderate', max_results=5)
