Using Python Code

Light weight package dedicated for coding:

pip install praisonaiagents

export OPENAI_API_KEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

1. Single Agent

Create app.py file and add the code below:

from praisonaiagents import Agent
agent = Agent(instructions="Your are a helpful AI assistant")
agent.start("Write a movie script about a robot in Mars")

Run:

python app.py

2. Multi Agents

Create app.py file and add the code below:

from praisonaiagents import Agent, PraisonAIAgents

research_agent = Agent(instructions="Research about AI")
summarise_agent = Agent(instructions="Summarise research agent's findings")
agents = PraisonAIAgents(agents=[research_agent, summarise_agent])
agents.start()

Run:

python app.py

3. Agent with Planning Mode

Enable planning for any agent - the agent creates a plan, then executes step by step:

from praisonaiagents import Agent

def search_web(query: str) -> str:
    return f"Search results for: {query}"

agent = Agent(
    name="AI Assistant",
    instructions="Research and write about topics",
    planning=True,              # Enable planning mode
    planning_tools=[search_web], # Tools for planning research
    planning_reasoning=True      # Chain-of-thought reasoning
)

result = agent.start("Research AI trends in 2025 and write a summary")

What happens:

📋 Agent creates a multi-step plan
🚀 Executes each step sequentially
📊 Shows progress with context passing
✅ Returns final result

4. Deep Research Agent

Automated research with real-time streaming, web search, and citations using OpenAI or Gemini Deep Research APIs.

from praisonaiagents import DeepResearchAgent

# OpenAI Deep Research
agent = DeepResearchAgent(
    model="o4-mini-deep-research",  # or "o3-deep-research"
    verbose=True
)

result = agent.research("What are the latest AI trends in 2025?")
print(result.report)
print(f"Citations: {len(result.citations)}")

# Gemini Deep Research
from praisonaiagents import DeepResearchAgent

agent = DeepResearchAgent(
    model="deep-research-pro",  # Auto-detected as Gemini
    verbose=True
)

result = agent.research("Research quantum computing advances")
print(result.report)

Features:

🔍 Multi-provider support (OpenAI, Gemini, LiteLLM)
📡 Real-time streaming with reasoning summaries
📚 Structured citations with URLs
🛠️ Built-in tools: web search, code interpreter, MCP, file search
🔄 Automatic provider detection from model name

5. Query Rewriter Agent

Transform user queries to improve RAG retrieval quality using multiple strategies.

from praisonaiagents import QueryRewriterAgent, RewriteStrategy

agent = QueryRewriterAgent(model="gpt-4o-mini")

# Basic - expands abbreviations, adds context
result = agent.rewrite("AI trends")
print(result.primary_query)  # "What are the current trends in Artificial Intelligence?"

# HyDE - generates hypothetical document for semantic matching
result = agent.rewrite("What is quantum computing?", strategy=RewriteStrategy.HYDE)

# Step-back - generates broader context question
result = agent.rewrite("GPT-4 vs Claude 3?", strategy=RewriteStrategy.STEP_BACK)

# Sub-queries - decomposes complex questions
result = agent.rewrite("RAG setup and best embedding models?", strategy=RewriteStrategy.SUB_QUERIES)

# Contextual - resolves references using chat history
result = agent.rewrite("What about cost?", chat_history=[...])

Strategies:

BASIC: Expand abbreviations, fix typos, add context
HYDE: Generate hypothetical document for semantic matching
STEP_BACK: Generate higher-level concept questions
SUB_QUERIES: Decompose multi-part questions
MULTI_QUERY: Generate multiple paraphrased versions
CONTEXTUAL: Resolve references using conversation history
AUTO: Automatically detect best strategy

6. Agent Memory (Zero Dependencies)

Enable persistent memory for agents - works out of the box without any extra packages.

from praisonaiagents import Agent
from praisonaiagents.memory import FileMemory

# Enable memory with a single parameter
agent = Agent(
    name="Personal Assistant",
    instructions="You are a helpful assistant that remembers user preferences.",
    memory=True,  # Enables file-based memory (no extra deps!)
    user_id="user123"  # Isolate memory per user
)

# Memory is automatically injected into conversations
result = agent.start("My name is John and I prefer Python")
# Agent will remember this for future conversations

Memory Types:

Short-term: Rolling buffer of recent context (auto-expires)
Long-term: Persistent important facts (sorted by importance)
Entity: People, places, organizations with attributes
Episodic: Date-based interaction history

Advanced Features:

from praisonaiagents.memory import FileMemory

memory = FileMemory(user_id="user123")

# Session Save/Resume
memory.save_session("project_session", conversation_history=[...])
memory.resume_session("project_session")

# Context Compression
memory.compress(llm_func=lambda p: agent.chat(p), max_items=10)

# Checkpointing
memory.create_checkpoint("before_refactor", include_files=["main.py"])
memory.restore_checkpoint("before_refactor", restore_files=True)

# Slash Commands
memory.handle_command("/memory show")
memory.handle_command("/memory save my_session")

Storage Options:

Option	Dependencies	Description
`memory=True`	None	File-based JSON storage (default)
`memory="file"`	None	Explicit file-based storage
`memory="sqlite"`	Built-in	SQLite with indexing

Agents Playbook

Simple Playbook Example

Create agents.yaml file and add the code below:

framework: praisonai
topic: Artificial Intelligence
roles:
  screenwriter:
    backstory: "Skilled in crafting scripts with engaging dialogue about {topic}."
    goal: Create scripts from concepts.
    role: Screenwriter
    tasks:
      scriptwriting_task:
        description: "Develop scripts with compelling characters and dialogue about {topic}."
        expected_output: "Complete script ready for production."

To run the playbook:

praisonai agents.yaml

Use 100+ Models

https://docs.praison.ai/models/

Custom Tools

Using `@tool` Decorator

from praisonaiagents import Agent, tool

@tool
def search(query: str) -> str:
    """Search the web for information."""
    return f"Results for: {query}"

@tool
def calculate(expression: str) -> float:
    """Evaluate a math expression."""
    return eval(expression)

agent = Agent(
    instructions="You are a helpful assistant",
    tools=[search, calculate]
)
agent.start("Search for AI news and calculate 15*4")

Using `BaseTool` Class

from praisonaiagents import Agent, BaseTool

class WeatherTool(BaseTool):
    name = "weather"
    description = "Get current weather for a location"
    
    def run(self, location: str) -> str:
        return f"Weather in {location}: 72°F, Sunny"

agent = Agent(
    instructions="You are a weather assistant",
    tools=[WeatherTool()]
)
agent.start("What's the weather in Paris?")

Creating a Tool Package (pip installable)

# pyproject.toml
[project]
name = "my-praisonai-tools"
version = "1.0.0"
dependencies = ["praisonaiagents"]

[project.entry-points."praisonaiagents.tools"]
my_tool = "my_package:MyTool"

# my_package/__init__.py
from praisonaiagents import BaseTool

class MyTool(BaseTool):
    name = "my_tool"
    description = "My custom tool"
    
    def run(self, param: str) -> str:
        return f"Result: {param}"

After pip install, tools are auto-discovered:

agent = Agent(tools=["my_tool"])  # Works automatically!

Prompt Expansion

Expand short prompts into detailed, actionable prompts:

CLI Usage

# Expand a short prompt into detailed prompt
praisonai "write a movie script in 3 lines" --expand-prompt

# With verbose output
praisonai "blog about AI" --expand-prompt -v

# With tools for context gathering
praisonai "latest AI trends" --expand-prompt --expand-tools tools.py

# Combine with query rewrite
praisonai "AI news" --query-rewrite --expand-prompt

Programmatic Usage

from praisonaiagents import PromptExpanderAgent, ExpandStrategy

# Basic usage
agent = PromptExpanderAgent()
result = agent.expand("write a movie script in 3 lines")
print(result.expanded_prompt)

# With specific strategy
result = agent.expand("blog about AI", strategy=ExpandStrategy.DETAILED)

# Available strategies: BASIC, DETAILED, STRUCTURED, CREATIVE, AUTO

Key Difference:

--query-rewrite: Optimizes queries for search/retrieval (RAG)
--expand-prompt: Expands prompts for detailed task execution

Web Search, Web Fetch & Prompt Caching

CLI Usage

# Web Search - Get real-time information
praisonai "What are the latest AI news today?" --web-search --llm openai/gpt-4o-search-preview

# Web Fetch - Retrieve and analyze URL content (Anthropic only)
praisonai "Summarize https://docs.praison.ai" --web-fetch --llm anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514

# Prompt Caching - Reduce costs for repeated prompts
praisonai "Analyze this document..." --prompt-caching --llm anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514

Programmatic Usage

from praisonaiagents import Agent

# Web Search
agent = Agent(
    instructions="You are a research assistant",
    llm="openai/gpt-4o-search-preview",
    web_search=True
)

# Web Fetch (Anthropic only)
agent = Agent(
    instructions="You are a content analyzer",
    llm="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
    web_fetch=True
)

# Prompt Caching
agent = Agent(
    instructions="You are an AI assistant..." * 50,  # Long system prompt
    llm="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
    prompt_caching=True
)

MCP (Model Context Protocol)

PraisonAI supports MCP Protocol Revision 2025-11-25 with multiple transports.

MCP Client (Consume MCP Servers)

from praisonaiagents import Agent, MCP

# stdio - Local NPX/Python servers
agent = Agent(tools=MCP("npx @modelcontextprotocol/server-memory"))

# Streamable HTTP - Production servers
agent = Agent(tools=MCP("https://api.example.com/mcp"))

# WebSocket - Real-time bidirectional
agent = Agent(tools=MCP("wss://api.example.com/mcp", auth_token="token"))

# SSE (Legacy) - Backward compatibility
agent = Agent(tools=MCP("http://localhost:8080/sse"))

# With environment variables
agent = Agent(
    tools=MCP(
        command="npx",
        args=["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-brave-search"],
        env={"BRAVE_API_KEY": "your-key"}
    )
)

MCP Server (Expose Tools as MCP Server)

Expose your Python functions as MCP tools for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP clients:

from praisonaiagents.mcp import ToolsMCPServer

def search_web(query: str, max_results: int = 5) -> dict:
    """Search the web for information."""
    return {"results": [f"Result for {query}"]}

def calculate(expression: str) -> dict:
    """Evaluate a mathematical expression."""
    return {"result": eval(expression)}

# Create and run MCP server
server = ToolsMCPServer(name="my-tools")
server.register_tools([search_web, calculate])
server.run()  # stdio for Claude Desktop
# server.run_sse(host="0.0.0.0", port=8080)  # SSE for web clients
