Agents#

Steamship is made for building, scaling, and managing Agents in the cloud.

A full tutorial for getting started with Agents is available here:

Agent Guidebook

If you’re new to building Agents, we highly recommend following the above tutorial.

The following are pointers to the key Agent classes for getting started:

Agent#

The basic interface for Agents is:

steamship.agents.schema.agent.Agent

Implementations of this class make decisions about what Action will be taken next in an Agent workflow.

AgentContext#

The Agent Context contains data about the context in which the Agent is running, including its ChatHistory.

Tool#

A Tool is something that an Agent may make use of in service of achieving its goal. To support multi-modal data, Tools in Steamship take an AgentContext as input and produce Blocks as output.

Many tools are available pre-packaged within the SDK:

AgentService#

steamship.agents.service.agent_service.AgentService

The AgentService class provides a convenient way to deploy an Agent as a Steamship Package.

TelegramAgentService#

steamship.experimental.package_starters.telegram_agent.TelegramAgentService The TelegramAgentService class connects your Agent with the Telegram Webhook API, allowing it to serve messages to Telegram users.
