uAgents: AI Agent Framework
uAgents is a library developed by Fetch.ai that allows for creating autonomous AI agents in Python. With simple and expressive decorators, you can have an agent that performs various tasks on a schedule or takes action on various events.
🚀 Features
- 🤖 Easy creation and management: Create any type of agent you can think of and implement it in code.
- 🔗 Connected: On startup, each agent automatically joins the fast-growing network of uAgents by registering on the Almanac, a smart contract deployed on the Fetch.ai blockchain.
- 🔒 Secure: uAgent messages and wallets are cryptographically secured, so their identities and assets are protected.
- 📊 Observable: Agents registered on Agentverse automatically report start/stop, message (sent/received), and error telemetry events to the Agentverse dashboard (toggle with
report_events).
⚡ Quickstart
Installation
Get started with uAgents by installing it for Python 3.10 to 3.13:
pip install uagents
Running a Demo
Creating an Agent
Build your first uAgent using the following script:
from uagents import Agent, Context
alice = Agent(name="alice")
Include a seed parameter when creating an agent to set a fixed address, for example from an environment variable:
import os
alice = Agent(name="alice", seed=os.getenv("ALICE_SEED_PHRASE"))
Otherwise the agent's private key will be stored locally alongside its name in private_keys.json.
If you create the agent without a name alice = Agent(), a new address will be generated each time you run the agent.
Giving it a task
Give it a simple task, such as a greeting:
@alice.on_interval(period=2.0)
async def say_hello(ctx: Context):
ctx.logger.info(f'hello, my name is {ctx.agent.name}')
if __name__ == "__main__":
alice.run()
Running the Agent
So far, your code should look like this:
from uagents import Agent, Context
alice = Agent(name="alice", seed="alice recovery phrase")
@alice.on_interval(period=2.0)
async def say_hello(ctx: Context):
ctx.logger.info(f'hello, my name is {ctx.agent.name}')
if __name__ == "__main__":
alice.run()
Run it using:
python agent.py
You should see the results in your terminal.
