AG2 Studio

AG2 Studio

AG2 Studio is an AG2-powered (formerly AutoGen) AI app (user interface) to help you rapidly prototype AI agents, enhance them with skills, compose them into workflows and interact with them to accomplish tasks. It is built on top of the AG2 framework, which is a toolkit for building AI agents.

Note: AG2 Studio is meant to help you rapidly prototype multi-agent workflows and demonstrate an example of end user interfaces built with AG2. It is not meant to be a production-ready app.

Project Structure:

• ag2studio/ code for the backend classes and web api (FastAPI)
• frontend/ code for the webui, built with Node.js and TailwindCSS

Installation

There are two ways to install AG2 Studio - from PyPi or from source. We recommend installing from PyPi unless you plan to modify the source code.

1. Install from PyPi

   We recommend using a virtual environment (e.g., conda) to avoid conflicts with existing Python packages. With Python 3.12 or newer active in your virtual environment, use pip to install AG2 Studio:

   pip install ag2studio
   

2. Install from Source

   Note: This approach requires some familiarity with building interfaces in React.

   If you prefer to install from source, ensure you have Python 3.10+ and Node.js (version above 20) installed. Here's how you get started:

   • Clone the AG2 Studio repository and install its Python dependencies:

     pip install -e .
     

   • Navigate to the frontend directory, install dependencies, and build the UI.

     For MacOS/Linux/Windows:

     yarn install
     

     Then, for MacOS/Linux:

     yarn build
     

     Or, for Windows:

     yarn build-windows
     

Running the Application

Once installed, run the web UI by entering the following in your terminal:

ag2studio ui --port 8081

This will start the application on the specified port. Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:8081/ to begin using AG2 Studio.

AG2 Studio also takes several parameters to customize the application:

• --host <host> argument to specify the host address. By default, it is set to localhost. Y
• --appdir <appdir> argument to specify the directory where the app files (e.g., database and generated user files) are stored. By default, it is set to the a .ag2studio directory in the user's home directory.
• --port <port> argument to specify the port number. By default, it is set to 8080.
• --reload argument to enable auto-reloading of the server when changes are made to the code. By default, it is set to False.
• --database-uri argument to specify the database URI. Example values include sqlite:///database.sqlite for SQLite and postgresql+psycopg://user:password@localhost/dbname for PostgreSQL. If this is not specified, the database URIL defaults to a database.sqlite file in the --appdir directory.

Now that you have AG2 Studio installed and running, you are ready to explore its capabilities, including defining and modifying agent workflows, interacting with agents and sessions, and expanding agent skills.
