🚀 Quick Start

Install & Run a Minimal Agent

# Install the framework
pip install stateset-agents

# (Optional) Install extras for training and API serving
# pip install "stateset-agents[dev,api,trl]"

import asyncio
from stateset_agents import MultiTurnAgent
from stateset_agents.core.agent import AgentConfig

async def demo():
    # Create and initialize a small model for testing
    agent = MultiTurnAgent(AgentConfig(model_name="gpt2"))
    await agent.initialize()

    # Provide conversation history as a list of messages
    messages = [
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hi, my order is delayed. What can you do?"}
    ]

    response = await agent.generate_response(messages)
    print(f"Agent: {response}")

asyncio.run(demo())

💡 Tip: Domain rewards (e.g., create_domain_reward('customer_service')) are used for training. See training examples below.

]
response = await agent.generate_response(messages, context={"order_status": "delayed", "customer_value": "high"})

🔧 Technical Support Assistant

Use tools to analyze code or docs when needed

from stateset_agents import ToolAgent
from stateset_agents.core.agent import AgentConfig

async def code_analyzer(ctx):
    return "Static analysis complete. No obvious leaks found."

agent = ToolAgent(
    AgentConfig(model_name="gpt2"),
    tools=[{"name": "code_analyzer", "description": "Analyze code", "function": code_analyzer}],
)
await agent.initialize()

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "How do I fix a memory leak in my Python app?"}]
response = await agent.generate_response(messages)

📈 Sales Intelligence

Qualify leads and summarize insights

from stateset_agents import MultiTurnAgent
