Agent Zero

Agent Zero

A personal, organic agentic framework that grows and learns with you

• Agent Zero is not a predefined agentic framework. It is designed to be dynamic, organically growing, and learning as you use it.
• Agent Zero is fully transparent, readable, comprehensible, customizable, and interactive.
• Agent Zero uses the computer as a tool to accomplish its (your) tasks.

💡 Key Features

1. General-purpose Assistant

   • Agent Zero is not pre-programmed for specific tasks (but can be). It is meant to be a general-purpose personal assistant. Give it a task, and it will gather information, execute commands and code, cooperate with other agent instances, and do its best to accomplish it.
   • It has a persistent memory, allowing it to memorize previous solutions, code, facts, instructions, etc., to solve tasks faster and more reliably in the future.

2. Computer as a Tool

   • Agent Zero uses the operating system as a tool to accomplish its tasks. It has no single-purpose tools pre-programmed. Instead, it can write its own code and use the terminal to create and use its own tools as needed.
   • The only default tools in its arsenal are online search, memory features, communication (with the user and other agents), and code/terminal execution. Everything else is created by the agent itself or can be extended by the user.
   • Tool usage functionality has been developed from scratch to be the most compatible and reliable, even with very small models.
   • Default Tools: Agent Zero includes tools like knowledge, webpage content, code execution, and communication.
   • Creating Custom Tools: Extend Agent Zero's functionality by creating your own custom tools.
   • Instruments: Instruments are a new type of tool that allow you to create custom functions and procedures that can be called by Agent Zero.

3. Multi-agent Cooperation

   • Every agent has a superior agent giving it tasks and instructions. Every agent then reports back to its superior.
   • In the case of the first agent in the chain (Agent 0), the superior is the human user; the agent sees no difference.
   • Every agent can create its subordinate agent to help break down and solve subtasks. This helps all agents keep their context clean and focused.

4. Completely Customizable and Extensible

   • Almost nothing in this framework is hard-coded. Nothing is hidden. Everything can be extended or changed by the user.
   • The whole behavior is defined by a system prompt in the prompts/default/agent.system.md file. Change this prompt and change the framework dramatically.
   • The framework does not guide or limit the agent in any way. There are no hard-coded rails that agents have to follow.

5. Communication is Key

   • Give your agent a proper system prompt and instructions, and it can do miracles.
   • Agents can communicate with their superiors and subordinates, asking questions, giving instructions, and providing guidance. Instruct your agents in the system prompt on how to communicate effectively.
