Build Your First Agent

from gaia.agents.base.agent import Agent
from gaia.agents.base.tools import tool

class MyAgent(Agent):
    """A simple agent with custom tools."""

    def _get_system_prompt(self) -> str:
        return "You are a helpful assistant."

    def _register_tools(self):
        @tool
        def get_weather(city: str) -> dict:
            """Get weather for a city."""
            return {"city": city, "temperature": 72, "conditions": "Sunny"}

agent = MyAgent()
result = agent.process_query("What's the weather in Austin?")
print(result)

Key Capabilities

• Agent Framework — Base class with tool orchestration, state management, and error recovery
• RAG System — Document indexing and semantic search for Q&A
• Voice Integration — Whisper ASR + Kokoro TTS for speech interaction
• Vision Models — Extract text from images with Qwen3-VL-4B
• Plugin System — Distribute agents via PyPI with auto-discovery
• Web UI Packaging — Generate modern interfaces for your agents

---

C++ Framework

A C++17 port of the GAIA base agent framework is available under cpp/. It implements the same agent loop, tool registry, and MCP client interface without any Python dependency — suitable for embedding in native applications or resource-constrained environments.

#include <gaia/agent.h>

class MyAgent : public gaia::Agent {
protected:
    std::string getSystemPrompt() const override {
        return "You are a helpful assistant.";
    }
};

Release Process

To publish a new release (e.g. v0.17.0), create a release PR that updates these 3 files:

#	File	What to change
1	src/gaia/version.py	Set __version__ = "0.17.0"
2	docs/releases/v0.17.0.mdx	Create release notes (see format guide)
3	docs/docs.json	(a) Add "releases/v0.17.0" to the Releases tab pages array, (b) update the navbar label to "v0.17.0 · Lemonade X.Y.Z"

Then merge and tag:

git tag v0.17.0 && git push origin v0.17.0

CI validates all three files are consistent with the tag before publishing to GitHub Releases and PyPI.
