How-To Guides
=============
The first category of how-to guides here cover specific parts of working with agents.
`Load From Hub <./examples/load_from_hub.html>`_: This notebook covers how to load agents from `LangChainHub <https://github.com/hwchase17/langchain-hub>`_.
`Custom Tools <./examples/custom_tools.html>`_: How to create custom tools that an agent can use.
`Agents With Vectorstores <./examples/agent_vectorstore.html>`_: How to use vectorstores with agents.
`Intermediate Steps <./examples/intermediate_steps.html>`_: How to access and use intermediate steps to get more visibility into the internals of an agent.
`Custom Agent <./examples/custom_agent.html>`_: How to create a custom agent (specifically, a custom LLM + prompt to drive that agent).
`Multi Input Tools <./examples/multi_input_tool.html>`_: How to use a tool that requires multiple inputs with an agent.
`Search Tools <./examples/search_tools.html>`_: How to use the different type of search tools that LangChain supports.
`Max Iterations <./examples/max_iterations.html>`_: How to restrict an agent to a certain number of iterations.
`Asynchronous <./examples/async_agent.html>`_: Covering asynchronous functionality.
The next set of examples are all end-to-end agents for specific applications.
In all examples there is an Agent with a particular set of tools.
- Tools: A tool can be anything that takes in a string and returns a string. This means that you can use both the primitives AND the chains found in `this <../chains.html>`_ documentation. LangChain also provides a list of easily loadable tools. For detailed information on those, please see `this documentation <./tools.html>`_
- Agents: An agent uses an LLMChain to determine which tools to use. For a list of all available agent types, see `here <./agents.html>`_.
**MRKL**
- **Tools used**: Search, SQLDatabaseChain, LLMMathChain
- **Agent used**: `zero-shot-react-description`
- `Paper <https://arxiv.org/pdf/2205.00445.pdf>`_
- **Note**: This is the most general purpose example, so if you are looking to use an agent with arbitrary tools, please start here.
- `Example Notebook <./implementations/mrkl.html>`_
**Self-Ask-With-Search**
- **Tools used**: Search
- **Agent used**: `self-ask-with-search`
- `Paper <https://ofir.io/self-ask.pdf>`_
- `Example Notebook <./implementations/self_ask_with_search.html>`_
**ReAct**
- **Tools used**: Wikipedia Docstore
- **Agent used**: `react-docstore`
- `Paper <https://arxiv.org/pdf/2210.03629.pdf>`_
- `Example Notebook <./implementations/react.html>`_
