🎯 Quick Start

Basic Agent Setup

import openai
from calute import Agent, Calute

# Initialize your LLM client
client = openai.OpenAI(api_key="your-key")

# Create an agent with functions
def search_web(query: str) -> str:
    """Search the web for information."""
    return f"Results for: {query}"

def analyze_data(data: str) -> dict:
    """Analyze provided data."""
    return {"summary": data, "insights": ["insight1", "insight2"]}

agent = Agent(
    id="research_agent",
    name="Research Assistant",
    model="gpt-4",
    instructions="You are a helpful research assistant.",
    functions=[search_web, analyze_data],
    temperature=0.7
)

# Initialize Calute and register agent
calute = Calute(client)
calute.register_agent(agent)

# Use the agent
response = await calute.create_response(
    prompt="Find information about quantum computing",
    agent_id="research_agent"
)

Advanced Memory-Enhanced Agent

from calute.memory import MemoryStore, MemoryType

# Create memory store with persistence
memory = MemoryStore(
    max_short_term=100,
    max_long_term=1000,
    enable_persistence=True,
    persistence_path="./agent_memory"
)

# Add memories
memory.add_memory(
    content="User prefers technical explanations",
    memory_type=MemoryType.LONG_TERM,
    agent_id="assistant",
    tags=["preference", "user_profile"],
    importance_score=0.9
)

# Attach to Calute
calute.memory = memory

Multi-Agent Collaboration

from calute.executors import EnhancedAgentOrchestrator, EnhancedFunctionExecutor

# Create specialized agents
research_agent = Agent(id="researcher", name="Researcher", ...)
analyst_agent = Agent(id="analyst", name="Data Analyst", ...)
writer_agent = Agent(id="writer", name="Content Writer", ...)

# Set up orchestrator
orchestrator = EnhancedAgentOrchestrator(enable_metrics=True)
await orchestrator.register_agent(research_agent)
await orchestrator.register_agent(analyst_agent)
await orchestrator.register_agent(writer_agent)

# Enhanced executor with parallel execution
executor = EnhancedFunctionExecutor(
    orchestrator=orchestrator,
    default_timeout=30.0,
    max_concurrent_executions=5
)

# Execute functions across agents
from calute.types import RequestFunctionCall, FunctionCallStrategy

calls = [
    RequestFunctionCall(name="research_topic", arguments={"topic": "AI"}, id="1"),
    RequestFunctionCall(name="analyze_findings", arguments={"data": "..."}, id="2"),
    RequestFunctionCall(name="write_report", arguments={"content": "..."}, id="3")
]

results = await executor.execute_function_calls(
    calls=calls,
    strategy=FunctionCallStrategy.PARALLEL
)
