Agent System
The Agent class is the core of Buddy AI. It represents an intelligent AI agent with memory, tools, knowledge, and conversation capabilities.
Basic Agent Creation
from buddy import Agent
from buddy.models.openai import OpenAIChat
# Minimal agent

model=OpenAIChat(model="gpt-4"),
description="An expert data analyst and visualization specialist",
instructions=[
"Analyze data thoroughly and provide insights",
"Create visualizations when helpful",
"Explain technical concepts clearly"
],
markdown=True, # Format output as markdown
debug_mode=True # Enable detailed logging
)
Agent Configuration Options
Basic Settings

Knowledge Management (RAG)
Enhanced iRAG System
iRAG (Intelligent Retrieval and Generation) is Buddy AI's advanced knowledge system that provides 100% accurate question-answering through intelligent document retrieval and NLP-based ontology mapping.
from buddy.knowledge.irag import irag
# Enhanced iRAG with 100% accuracy goal
knowledge = irag(
data_dir="./company_docs", # Directory with documents
db_path="./knowledge.db", # SQLite database path
accuracy_threshold=0.9, # High accuracy requirement

print(response.references) # Source document references
iRAG vs Traditional RAG
Traditional RAG limitations:
- May miss relevant documents
- Inconsistent retrieval quality
- Limited context understanding
- No guarantee of completeness
iRAG advantages:
- 100% document coverage
- Multiple search strategies working in parallel
- NLP-based entity and ontology mapping
- Comprehensive retrieval with context preservation
- SQL-based precision for structured queries

# Configure search strategies
knowledge = irag(
data_dir="./docs",
search_strategies=[
"ontology", # NLP entity-based search
"tfidf", # TF-IDF vectorization
"semantic", # Semantic similarity

Ready-to-use examples to get you started with Buddy AI quickly.
Quick Start: Customer Service Agent
from buddy import Agent
from buddy.models import OpenAIChat
# Create a customer service agent
customer_agent = Agent(
name="CustomerService",
model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-4o"),
instructions="""
You are a helpful customer service representative for an e-commerce company.
- Be polite and professional
- Provide accurate information about orders, returns, and policies
- If you don't know something, say so and offer to connect them with a specialist
- Always aim to resolve the customer's issue
""",
max_loops=3
)
# Test the agent
response = customer_agent.run("I want to return an item I bought last week")
print(response)
# Output: I'd be happy to help you with your return! To process your return, I'll need...
Quick Start: Content Creation Workflow
from buddy import Agent, Workflow
from buddy.models import OpenAIChat, Claude
