Agentarium: AI Agent Orchestration Made Easy

Are you holding back your potential or ready to unleash it?

Join Gen AI Launch Pad 2025 and redefine what’s possible.

Introduction

In the ever-evolving world of AI, the ability to seamlessly orchestrate multiple AI agents has become a necessity. Agentarium is a powerful Python framework designed to manage and coordinate AI agents efficiently. Whether you're building autonomous systems, enhancing AI interactions, or developing multi-agent applications, Agentarium provides a flexible and intuitive environment to get started.

In this blog, we'll explore:

• How to set up Agentarium.
• Creating and managing AI agents.
• Enabling agents to communicate, think, and make decisions.
• Defining custom actions and integrating AI models like ChatGPT.

By the end of this guide, you'll have a strong grasp of how to leverage Agentarium for your AI projects.

🚀 Setting Up Agentarium

Before we dive into AI agent orchestration, let's set up Agentarium in your environment. Installing it is as simple as running:

pip install agentarium

For AI integrations, ensure you have the required API keys set up. In a Jupyter Notebook or Colab environment, you can store your OpenAI API key as follows:

from google.colab import userdata
import os

os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = userdata.get('OPENAI_API_KEY')

This ensures that your API credentials are securely stored for AI-related interactions.

Creating AI Agents in Agentarium

An Agent in Agentarium represents an AI-powered entity capable of communication, reasoning, and decision-making. Let's create two agents with distinct roles:

from agentarium import Agent

alice = Agent.create_agent(name="Alice", occupation="Software Engineer")
bob = Agent.create_agent(name="Bob", occupation="Data Scientist")

Here, Alice and Bob are AI agents with defined occupations. These agents can interact, store memory, and execute actions.

Enabling Agent Communication

Agents in Agentarium can communicate with each other using the talk_to() method. Here's an example:

alice.talk_to(bob, "Hello Bob! I heard you're working on some interesting ML projects.")
bob.talk_to(alice, "Hi Alice! Yes, I am. We're trying to predict customer churn.")

Expected Output:

{
  'sender': 'd0bc3515-92d2-46c0-be1e-0d11c7095442',
  'receiver': ['cebf077c-1d5b-45d3-9682-db135df96e0b'],
  'message': "Hi Alice! Yes, I am. We're trying to predict customer churn.",
  'action': 'talk'
}

This functionality is useful in chatbot applications, AI-powered customer service, and multi-agent collaboration in AI research.

Agents Thinking and Decision-Making

Agents can think and make autonomous decisions. For example:

alice.think("I should probably learn more about customer churn.")

An agent can also take actions autonomously:

alice_action_result = alice.act()
print(f"Alice's action result: {alice_action_result['message']}")

Expected Output:

Alice's action result: Hey Bob, I'd love to hear more about your customer churn project. Do you have any resources or insights you could share? It sounds like a fascinating area to explore!

These capabilities make Agentarium ideal for AI-driven business analytics, strategy recommendations, and intelligent assistants.

Defining and Executing Custom Actions

Agentarium allows users to define their own custom actions. Suppose we want our agents to greet people:

from agentarium import Agent, Action

def greet(name: str, **kwargs) -> str:
    return f"Hello, {name}!"

agent = Agent.create_agent(name="Alice")
agent.add_action(
    Action(
        name="GREET",
        description="Greet someone by name",
        parameters=["name"],
        function=greet
    )
)

Executing the action:

agent.execute_action("GREET", "Bob")

Expected Output:

{
  'output': 'Hello, Bob!',
  'action': 'GREET'
}

This feature is useful for chatbots, interactive AI tutors, and automated workflows.

Using ChatGPT with Agentarium

We can integrate ChatGPT with Agentarium to enable advanced AI conversations.

from agentarium import Action
import aisuite as ai

llm_client = ai.Client()

def use_chatgpt(prompt: str, *args, **kwargs) -> dict:
    """A custom action that allows an agent to interact with ChatGPT."""
    agent: Agent = kwargs["agent"]
    response = llm_client.chat.completions.create(
        model="openai:gpt-4o-mini",
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}],
        temperature=0.2,
        timeout=60
    ).choices[0].message.content.strip()
    
    return {
        "agent_prompt": prompt,
        "chatgpt_response": response
    }

Adding this action to an agent:

alice.add_action(
    Action(
        name="CHATGPT",
        description="Use ChatGPT to have a conversation or ask questions.",
        parameters=["prompt"],
        function=use_chatgpt
    )
)

Querying ChatGPT:

chatgpt_output = alice.execute_action("CHATGPT", "What is the capital of France?")
print(f"ChatGPT Response: {chatgpt_output['chatgpt_response']}")

Expected Output:

ChatGPT Response: The capital of France is Paris.

This capability is useful for virtual assistants, AI-powered research tools, and educational applications.
