AUTOGEN TUTORIAL - build AI agents with GPT-4o and Microsoft's AutoGen 

oh each of em searched github for a tetris game and made it so cool MESMERIZING WOAH

Life saver; ty!

BEAUTIFUL!...thank you

thank you!!!

I gave up on conda, it was breaking too much and didn't have the latest just an added latency; pyenv or venv, or poetry or whatever but not conda..

@@truehighs7845 lightweight and flexible ... most of times less is always more 🙂

Check out miniconda or venv instead. Full anaconda is problematic.

Where is the toxic middle management?

And a janitor that thinks she’s running the place😅

Where are the gossipy staff at the water cooler?

or he

Exactly what I was thinking too

actually a good one 🤣

You can think of them as an employee taking on part of your workload, or a personal assistant helping you with items on your 'Things to Do' list, or a service provider helping you shop for a gift for someone.

Think about the skills as a library of mini apps. If we can co ordinate them efficiently.....

Imagination is the only limit. Consider what people can do: simplify their tasks and create assistants to handle them. I use automated assistants in my work where we are producing radiopharmaceuticals. Some agents help me write standard operating procedures and other structured documents, while others review these procedures to ensure they comply with existing protocols and pharmaceutical laws. Another setup transcribes data from production reports into a database, while a QA assistant reviews this data to ensure that production is satisfactory and all parameters meet specifications. Additionally, an assistant with access to the production database prepares quality reports with graphs and statistical analysis. I'm continually working on and testing more assistants to help me manage the tasks and activities of my entire team.

Have watch of a couple Mervin Praison videos for more examples.

Same here!

same :( any update??

same issue, tried different endpoints too.

If you add via the method in the video it errors. I added it from the description version screen. I don’t know why, maybe it doesn’t like the script

Those features you mentioned haven’t been released yet with GPT 4o yet

You need to make sure you are inside of the virtual environment. After you create it move inside of it then run the command. If you get stuck start over. Create an empty folder , move into that folder on command line, when creating the virtual environment use the current directory instead of creating it into a new one, then run the command after installing everything.

@@mitchellmigala4107 Oh sorry, i forgot i asked this question. I actually solved it by pasting the code into ChatGPT. I was missing the module 'packaging' and i could just download it with pip. So AI helped me with installing AI. Inception :P

yes

Gonna need AGI for that lol

Yes. I've been using autogen a lot. It's a very powerful tool. I've used autogen to creat task decomposition processes, an essay writing sub process, Web research, navigate a directory strucutre & read and create files, think creatively, prevent prompt hacking, schedule tasks for later, etc.

@@PrincessKushana interesting. what are "task decomposition processes"? as I understand you just set a main agent that, what, sets an outline, then multiple agents that do different tasks such as research, compile, proofread, and so on?

@@rhym8882 yup pretty much. it means you can perform drastically more complex actions. multiple steps, different functions, etc. Eg "please do a Web search answering the question on line 2 of the file in x directory. Save the answer on the next line."

@@PrincessKushanaI see. Thank You! ☺Im going to try it out. Do you know of any video or some other resource that teaches to build agents specifically for copywriting?

I'll give it a whirl either way.

Create a problem solving agent\s relevant to the domain your problem is within.

@@brianWreaves Hmm. It just seems difficult to believe that it could do much more than a single ChatGPT instance. I will see if I can set it up today.

no these agents are worthless right now.

@@beyondthebounce23 That doesn't sound very promising XD

Give it time. Go look at how you had to install this when it released...

wait 6 months, you'll be able to do all this in a regular UI on your phone.

Because they are using windows and conda is recommended for those using windows that want to use autogen.

yes, best idea would be a software that could develope itself offline.

TBH it's not all that difficult., but I see what you mean, just put your api keys and get going, probably with templated searches and outcomes so all you need to so is give a prompt and watch you team work, quite neat.

No, most people will be out of work within the next 2 years.

Have watch of a couple Mervin Praison videos for examples.

​@@brianWreavesare you an AI agent for this Mervin praison?

is it ai? .... lol nah it his girlfriend helping out.

Maybe eleven studios ?

I think apple found its way into the corporate environment with its clean look and depending on who you ask, easier learning curve to perform basic tasks

@@TheExodusLost I mean if you have to worry about the learning curve of an OS you probably shouldn't be in one of those jobs tbh lol.

Imagine finding out many big applications are written in the “easiest” language to write it in (e.g. Python, php, js)

@@abudhabi9850 I wouldn't consider higher level languages easier. You still have to understand the fundamentals which is the hardest part to grasp I'd say.

@@Ricolaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa c is definitely harder than the others mentioned even though you know the fundamentals

What about 2,3,4,5 and so on games? Once it is set up, it only is a matter of time until beating your time, isn’t it?

@@spittylama a prompt to chatGPT is 1. free, 2. fast, 3. doesn't need any setup, 4. you can go back and forth with it. until i see a REAL use cases, thank you.

Have watch of a couple Mervin Praison videos for more use cases.

What do you expect it to do? Lol

Give it another 6 months.

Fact that we are even here having this argument should make you realise where we would be in less than 2 years from now

"oH yEaH, BiG dEaL! iT sTiLL cAnT dO tHiS aNd ThAt!" This comment ages like milk 100% of the time, and people still keep posting it.

Have watch of a couple Mervin Praison videos. Then agents might be worth reconsidering.

@@brianWreaves I am familiar with Mervin's channel. Mervin also illustrates the problem because he covers many platforms but none of them can do anything useful. There are lots of example cases. But nothing really useful.

You can use local llm. Autogen is actually a Microsoft product.

yes we all know autogen is a ms product... your point?
