Generate fully-functional AI agents from natural language specifications

Meta Agent 🤖

Generate fully-functional AI agents from natural language specifications in minutes.

Meta Agent is a Python CLI tool that automatically produces production-ready OpenAI-powered agents complete with code, tests, and guardrails from simple English descriptions.

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

pip install meta-agent

Create Your First Agent

# Initialize a new project
meta-agent init my-calculator --template hello-world

# Generate an agent from specification
meta-agent generate --spec-file agent_spec.yaml

Example Specification

task_description: |
  Create a calculator agent that can perform basic arithmetic operations.
  The agent should handle addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
inputs:
  operation: str  # "+", "-", "*", "/"
  num1: float
  num2: float
outputs:
  result: float
constraints:
  - Must validate division by zero
  - Should handle floating point precision

✨ Key Features

• 🎯 Natural Language Input: Describe what you want in plain English
• ⚡ Instant Generation: Get working agents in minutes, not hours
• 🛡️ Built-in Safety: Automatic guardrails and validation
• 🧪 Test Generation: Unit tests created automatically
• 📊 Telemetry: Built-in monitoring and metrics
• 🔧 Extensible: Template system for custom patterns

🎯 Perfect For

• AI Engineers building production agents quickly
• Solutions Architects integrating AI into workflows
• Rapid Prototypers who need demo-ready agents fast
• Hobbyists exploring AI without deep coding expertise
