About AgentK
AgentK is an open-source Python project, released under the MIT license, that describes itself as a modular, self-evolving autonomous agent system. A small core of agents works together on tasks a user gives it, and the agents can build new agents and tools as needed. The project's stated goal is a minimal core that can bootstrap itself and then extend its own set of agents and tools.
The system runs in an isolated Docker container, so Docker must be installed. Setup involves copying an environment template to a .env file, setting the variables there, and running the provided start script. Agents are encouraged to write tests for themselves. The author describes detection and repair of misbehaving agents and tools as work in progress. The project is built on the LangGraph and LangChain frameworks.
Key features
- Hermes orchestrator interacts with users to understand goals and assign tasks
- AgentSmith creates and maintains other agents and checks their functionality
- ToolMaker creates and refines the tools that agents use
- WebResearcher performs online research to gather up-to-date information
- Agents and tools are stored as ordinary Python files for easy tracking
- Built on the LangGraph and LangChain frameworks
Best for: Developers and researchers who want to study or experiment with modular, self-evolving agent systems and contribute to open-source code.
