OpenAgents: An Open Platform for Language Agents in the Wild

OpenAgents: An Open Platform for Language Agents in the Wild

Current language agent frameworks aim to facilitate the construction of proof-of-concept language agents while neglecting the non-expert user access to agents and paying little attention to application-level designs. We built OpenAgents, an open platform for using and hosting language agents in the wild of everyday life.

We have now implemented three agents in OpenAgents, and we host them on demo for free use!

1. Data Agent for data analysis with Python/SQL and data tools;
2. Plugins Agent with 200+ daily tools;
3. Web Agent for autonomous web browsing.

OpenAgents can analyze data, call plugins, control your browser as ChatGPT Plus, but with OPEN Code for

1. Easy deployment
2. Full stack
3. Chat Web UI
4. Agent methods
5. …

OpenAgents enables general users to interact with agent functionalities through a web UI optimized for swift responses and common failures, while offering developers and researchers a seamless deployment experience on local setups, providing a foundation for crafting innovative language agents and facilitating real-world evaluations. We elucidate both the challenges and promising opportunities, aspiring to set a foundation for future research and development of real-world language agents.
