The lightest multi-agent framework for Python.
Build collaborative AI systems with minimal code and maximum flexibility.
See AgentMind in action with this 2-minute demo showing real multi-agent collaboration:

[AgentMind] Initialized - Multi-agent collaboration framework started!
[+] Added agent: Researcher (research)
[+] Added agent: Writer (writer)
[*] Starting multi-agent collaboration: Write a blog post about quantum computing
[>] Round 1: Received 2 responses
=== Collaboration Summary ===
• Researcher: Quantum computing leverages quantum mechanics principles for computation.
Key concepts include superposition, entanglement, and quantum gates. Current research
focuses on error correction and scalability...
• Writer: Let me transform these technical details into an engaging narrative. Imagine
a world where computers can solve problems that would take classical computers
millennia. That's the promise of quantum computing...
[*] Collaboration completed successfully
Success: True
Rounds: 1
Messages: 3
Try it yourself:
# Run the interactive demo
python demo_quick_start.py
# Or install and try examples
pip install agentmind
python examples/research_team.pyWhat just happened?
- Two agents with different roles (researcher + writer) were created
- They automatically collaborated on the task
- Each agent contributed based on their expertise
- The system coordinated their responses and produced a final output
Key Features Demonstrated:
- ✅ Multi-agent collaboration with role specialization
- ✅ Automatic coordination and message routing
- ✅ LLM-powered intelligent responses
- ✅ Built-in memory and context management
- ✅ Real-time progress tracking
Unlike heavyweight frameworks that force you into rigid patterns, AgentMind gives you the essentials:
- Truly Lightweight: Core framework is <500 lines. No bloat, no vendor lock-in
- LLM Agnostic: Works with Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, or any LiteLLM-supported provider
- Async First: Built on asyncio for real concurrent agent collaboration
- Memory Built-in: Conversation history and context management out of the box
- Tool System: Extensible function calling for agents
- Production Ready: Type hints, comprehensive tests, proper error handling
Option A: Local with Ollama (Recommended)
# Install Ollama
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh
# Pull a model
ollama pull llama3.2
# Install AgentMind
pip install agentmind
# Run your first collaboration
python -c "from agentmind import Agent, AgentMindfrom agentmind.llm import OllamaProviderimport asyncioasync def main(): llm = OllamaProvider(model='llama3.2') mind = AgentMind(llm_provider=llm) researcher = Agent(name='Researcher', role='research') writer = Agent(name='Writer', role='writer') mind.add_agent(researcher) mind.add_agent(writer) result = await mind.collaborate('Write about AI trends', max_rounds=3) print(result)asyncio.run(main())"Option B: Cloud with OpenAI
# Install with cloud support
pip install agentmind[full]
# Set API keyexport OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key-here

asyncio.run(main())- Multi-Agent Orchestration: Coordinate multiple AI agents with different roles and expertise
- Flexible LLM Support: Ollama for local models, LiteLLM for 100+ cloud providers
- Memory Management: Automatic conversation history with configurable backends
- Tool System: Give agents access to functions, APIs, and external tools
- Async Architecture: True concurrent execution for faster collaboration
- Type Safety: Full type hints for better IDE support and fewer bugs
- Custom Orchestration: Implement your own collaboration patterns
- Streaming Support: Real-time token streaming from LLMs
- Session Persistence: Save and restore agent conversations
- Web UI: Interactive chat interface for testing (see
chat_server.py) - Extensible: Plugin architecture for custom memory, tools, and providers
