AI Summary

Building Autonomous Assistants with GP4

• Introduction
  • Create agents with GP4, equipped with internet search, email, and cloud API tools.
  • Aim: Solve problems autonomously.
  • Tasks: Web search, Python scripting, data analysis, etc.
• Getting Started
  • Code available in the five-dat repository.
  • Fork and clone the repo, specifically the cookbook-assistance folder.
  • Open the repo in a code editor and set up a Python virtual environment.
• Building the Assistant
  • Start with a basic assistant using GP4.
  • Add memory, knowledge, and tools to make it autonomous.
  • Tools make it an “agent,” but prefer the term “assistant.”
  • Basic assistant: Takes LLM input, provides CLI responses or application queries.
  • Run the assistant with python cookbook-assistants basic.
• Adding Functionality
  • Web search capability with the Duco tool.
  • Example task: Search for news from France and write a poem.
  • Run with cookbook-assistants web-search.
• Finance Assistant
  • Use Yahoo Finance tool from five-tools yfinance.
  • Select specific functions to avoid overloading the LLM.
  • Example tasks: Get NVIDIA stock price, compare NVIDIA and AMD.
  • Run with cookbook-assistants finance.
• Building Custom Tools
  • Example: Hacker News API.
  • Describe function, add arguments and return in the docstring.
  • Set debug mode for behind-the-scenes insights.
  • Example task: Summarize top stories on Hacker News.
  • Run with custom tool settings.
• Data Analysis Assistant
  • Use DuckDB to analyze data in CSV/Parquet files.
  • Example tasks: Get average movie rating, create a histogram of ratings.
  • Run with cookbook-assistants data-analysis.
• Research Assistant
  • Uses EXA for web searches and report generation.
  • Example task: Write a report on GPT-4 and save to a file.
  • Provide a format for the report and save instructions.
  • Run with cookbook-assistants research.
• Conclusion
  • Overview of creating autonomous assistants/agents.
  • Mention of a Python assistant for further exploration.
  • Support offered via Discord and GitHub issues.
