"An agent consists of three parts:\n",

"### Custom LLMChain\n",
"\n",
"The first way to create a custom agent is to use an existing Agent class, but use a custom LLMChain. This is the simplest way to create a custom Agent. It is highly reccomended that you work with the `ZeroShotAgent`, as at the moment that is by far the most generalizable one. \n",
"\n",
"Most of the work in creating the custom LLMChain comes down to the prompt. Because we are using an existing agent class to parse the output, it is very important that the prompt say to produce text in that format. Additionally, we currently require an `agent_scratchpad` input variable to put notes on previous actions and observations. This should almost always be the final part of the prompt. However, besides those instructions, you can customize the prompt as you wish.\n",
"\n",
"To ensure that the prompt contains the appropriate instructions, we will utilize a helper method on that class. The helper method for the `ZeroShotAgent` takes the following arguments:\n",
"\n",
"- tools: List of tools the agent will have access to, used to format the prompt.\n",
"- prefix: String to put before the list of tools.\n",
"- suffix: String to put after the list of tools.\n",
"- input_variables: List of input variables the final prompt will expect.\n",
"\n",
"For this exercise, we will give our agent access to Google Search, and we will customize it in that we will have it answer as a pirate."
"In this notebook we walk through how to create a custom agent."

"# Custom LLM Agent\n",
"\n",
"This notebook goes through how to create your own custom LLM agent.\n",
"\n",
"An LLM agent consists of three parts:\n",
"\n",
"- PromptTemplate: This is the prompt template that can be used to instruct the language model on what to do\n",
"- LLM: This is the language model that powers the agent\n",
"- `stop` sequence: Instructs the LLM to stop generating as soon as this string is found\n",
"- OutputParser: This determines how to parse the LLMOutput into an AgentAction or AgentFinish object\n",
"\n",
"\n",
"The LLMAgent is used in an AgentExecutor. This AgentExecutor can largely be thought of as a loop that:\n",
"1. Passes user input and any previous steps to the Agent (in this case, the LLMAgent)\n",
"2. If the Agent returns an `AgentFinish`, then return that directly to the user\n",
"3. If the Agent returns an `AgentAction`, then use that to call a tool and get an `Observation`\n",
"4. Repeat, passing the `AgentAction` and `Observation` back to the Agent until an `AgentFinish` is emitted.\n",
" \n",
"`AgentAction` is a response that consists of `action` and `action_input`. `action` refers to which tool to use, and `action_input` refers to the input to that tool. `log` can also be provided as more context (that can be used for logging, tracing, etc).\n",
"\n",

"# Custom MRKL Agent\n",
"\n",
"This notebook goes through how to create your own custom MRKL agent.\n",
"\n",
"A MRKL agent consists of three parts:\n",
" \n",
" - Tools: The tools the agent has available to use.\n",
" - LLMChain: The LLMChain that produces the text that is parsed in a certain way to determine which action to take.\n",
" - The agent class itself: this parses the output of the LLMChain to determin which action to take.\n",
" \n",
" \n",

"### Custom LLMChain\n",
"\n",
"The first way to create a custom agent is to use an existing Agent class, but use a custom LLMChain. This is the simplest way to create a custom Agent. It is highly reccomended that you work with the `ZeroShotAgent`, as at the moment that is by far the most generalizable one. \n",
"\n",
"Most of the work in creating the custom LLMChain comes down to the prompt. Because we are using an existing agent class to parse the output, it is very important that the prompt say to produce text in that format. Additionally, we currently require an `agent_scratchpad` input variable to put notes on previous actions and observations. This should almost always be the final part of the prompt. However, besides those instructions, you can customize the prompt as you wish.\n",
"\n",
"To ensure that the prompt contains the appropriate instructions, we will utilize a helper method on that class. The helper method for the `ZeroShotAgent` takes the following arguments:\n",
"\n",
"- tools: List of tools the agent will have access to, used to format the prompt.\n",
"- prefix: String to put before the list of tools.\n",
"- suffix: String to put after the list of tools.\n",
"- input_variables: List of input variables the final prompt will expect.\n",
"\n",
"For this exercise, we will give our agent access to Google Search, and we will customize it in that we will have it answer as a pirate."
