Python SDK for Dialetica AI - Multi-agent conversational AI platform

Dialetica AI - Python SDK

The orchestration layer for multi-agent intelligence

Dialetica AI is a Python SDK that enables you to build multi-agent conversational AI applications. Create AI agents, orchestrate conversations between them, and leverage knowledge management for context-aware interactions.

🚀 Features

• Multi-Agent Conversations: Create contexts with multiple AI agents that can collaborate and debate
• Agent Management: Create, manage, and configure AI agents with different personalities and models
• Knowledge Management: Store and retrieve knowledge with semantic search capabilities
• Scheduled Tasks: Create and manage cron jobs for automated agent interactions
• Tool Integration: Configure and use external tools with your agents
• Usage Tracking: Monitor API usage and token consumption
• Type-Safe: Full Pydantic models with validation and IDE support

📦 Installation

pip install dialetica

🔑 Getting Started

1. Get Your API Key

Sign up at dialetica.ai to get your API key.

2. Initialize the Client

from dialetica import Dialetica, AgentRequest, ContextRequest, MessageRequest

# Using environment variable (recommended)
import os
os.environ["DIALETICA_AI_API_KEY"] = "dai_your_api_key_here"
client = Dialetica()

# Or pass API key directly
client = Dialetica(api_key="dai_your_api_key_here")

# Custom base URL for self-hosted instances
client = Dialetica(
    api_key="dai_your_api_key_here",
    base_url="https://your-api-server.com"
)

📖 Quick Start Examples

Create an Agent

from dialetica import Dialetica, AgentRequest

client = Dialetica()

# Create a single agent
agent = client.agents.create(
    AgentRequest(
        name="Debate Master",
        description="I engage in thoughtful debate and present balanced arguments.",
        model="openai/gpt-4o-mini",
        temperature=0.7,
        max_tokens=1000,
        instructions=[
            "You are a thoughtful debater",
            "Present both sides of arguments",
            "Be respectful and logical"
        ]
    )
)
print(f"Created agent: {agent.id}")

Create Multiple Agents (Bulk)

# Create multiple agents at once
agents = client.agents.bulk_create([
    AgentRequest(
        name="Einstein",
        description="Theoretical physicist",
        model="anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022",
        instructions=["You are Einstein", "Discuss relativity and quantum mechanics"]
    ),
    AgentRequest(
        name="Darwin",
        description="Evolutionary biologist",
        model="google/gemini-2.0-flash-exp:free",
        instructions=["You are Darwin", "Explain evolution and natural selection"]
    )
])

Create a Multi-Agent Context

from dialetica import ContextRequest

# Create a context with multiple agents
context = client.contexts.create(
    ContextRequest(
        name="Scientific Discovery Lab",
        description="Multi-agent scientific research collaboration",
        agents=[agents[0].id, agents[1].id],
        instructions=[
            "Agents collaborate on scientific hypotheses",
            "Share insights and build upon each other's theories"
        ]
    )
)

Run a Conversation

from dialetica import MessageRequest

# Send a message to the context
# The agents will collaborate and respond
messages = [
    MessageRequest(
        role="user",
        sender_name="Student",
        content="How might quantum mechanics and evolution inform our understanding of consciousness?"
    )
]

responses = client.contexts.run(context.id, messages)

# Print all responses
for response in responses:
    print(f"{response.sender_name}: {response.content}")

Stream Responses

# Stream responses in real-time
async for event in client.contexts.stream(context.id, messages):
    if event.type == "token_delta":
        print(event.payload.get("delta"), end="", flush=True)
    elif event.type == "agent_completed":
        print(f"\n\n{event.payload.get('agent_name')} completed")

🎯 Core Concepts

Agents

Agents are AI personalities that can participate in conversations. Each agent has:

• Name & Description: Identity and purpose
• Model: The underlying LLM (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.)
• Instructions: System prompts that define behavior
• Temperature & Max Tokens: Generation parameters

Contexts

Contexts are conversation environments that can contain multiple agents. They enable:

• Multi-agent collaboration: Agents can debate, discuss, and build on each other's ideas
• Knowledge integration: Attach knowledge bases for context-aware responses
• Orchestration: Control which agent speaks when

Knowledge

Store information that agents can access via semantic search:

• Context-level knowledge: Available to all agents in a context
• Agent-level knowledge: Specific to individual agents
• Semantic search: Find relevant information automatically

🔒 Security Best Practices

1. Never commit API keys to version control
2. Use environment variables for API keys in production
3. Rotate API keys regularly
4. Use different keys for development and production

# ✅ Good: Use environment variables
import os
client = Dialetica(api_key=os.getenv("DIALETICA_AI_API_KEY"))

# ❌ Bad: Hardcode API keys
client = Dialetica(api_key="dai_abc123...")  # Don't do this!

🌐 Supported Models

Dialetica AI supports models from multiple providers:

• OpenAI: gpt-4o, gpt-4o-mini, gpt-4-turbo, etc.
• Anthropic: claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022, claude-3-haiku-20240307, etc.
• Google: gemini-2.0-flash-exp:free, gemini-pro, etc.
• And more: Check client.models.list() for all available models

📝 Example: Multi-Agent Debate

from dialetica import Dialetica, AgentRequest, ContextRequest, MessageRequest

client = Dialetica()

# Create debaters
pro_agent = client.agents.create(
    AgentRequest(
        name="Proponent",
        description="Argues in favor of renewable energy",
        model="openai/gpt-4o-mini",
        instructions=["You strongly support renewable energy", "Present compelling arguments"]
    )
)

con_agent = client.agents.create(
    AgentRequest(
        name="Skeptic",
        description="Questions renewable energy feasibility",
        model="anthropic/claude-3-haiku-20240307",
        instructions=["You question renewable energy", "Present counter-arguments"]
    )
)

# Create debate context
debate = client.contexts.create(
    ContextRequest(
        name="Energy Debate",
        agents=[pro_agent.id, con_agent.id],
        instructions=["Engage in respectful debate", "Build on each other's points"]
    )
)

# Start the debate
responses = client.contexts.run(
    debate.id,
    [MessageRequest(
        role="user",
        sender_name="Moderator",
        content="Should we transition to 100% renewable energy by 2030?"

# Print the debate
for response in responses:
    print(f"\n{response.sender_name}: {response.content}")
