Agno + Groq: Lightning Fast Agents

Agno is a lightweight framework for building multi-modal Agents. Its easy to use, extremely fast and supports multi-modal inputs and outputs.

With Groq & Agno, you can build:

  • Agentic RAG: Agents that can search different knowledge stores for RAG or dynamic few-shot learning.
  • Image Agents: Agents that can understand images and make tool calls accordingly.
  • Reasoning Agents: Agents that can reason using a reasoning model, then generate a result using another model.
  • Structured Outputs: Agents that can generate pydantic objects adhering to a schema.

Python Quick Start (2 minutes to hello world)

Agents are autonomous programs that use language models to achieve tasks. They solve problems by running tools, accessing knowledge and memory to improve responses.

Let's build a simple web search agent, with a tool to search DuckDuckGo to get better results.

1. Create a file called web_search_agent.py and add the following code:

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.groq import Groq
from agno.tools.duckduckgo import DuckDuckGoTools

# Initialize the agent with an LLM via Groq and DuckDuckGoTools
agent = Agent(
    model=Groq(id="llama-3.3-70b-versatile"),
    description="You are an enthusiastic news reporter with a flair for storytelling!",
    tools=[DuckDuckGoTools()],      # Add DuckDuckGo tool to search the web
    show_tool_calls=True,           # Shows tool calls in the response, set to False to hide
    markdown=True                   # Format responses in markdown
)

# Prompt the agent to fetch a breaking news story from New York
agent.print_response("Tell me about a breaking news story from New York.", stream=True)

3. Set up and activate your virtual environment:

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

4. Install the Groq, Agno, and DuckDuckGo dependencies:

pip install -U groq agno duckduckgo-search

5. Configure your Groq API Key:

GROQ_API_KEY="your-api-key"

6. Run your Agno agent that now extends your LLM's context to include web search for up-to-date information and send results in seconds:

python web_search_agent.py

Multi-Agent Teams

Agents work best when they have a singular purpose, a narrow scope, and a small number of tools. When the number of tools grows beyond what the language model can handle or the tools belong to different categories, use a team of agents to spread the load.

The following code expands upon our quick start and creates a team of two agents to provide analysis on financial markets:

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.groq import Groq
from agno.tools.duckduckgo import DuckDuckGoTools
from agno.tools.yfinance import YFinanceTools

web_agent = Agent(
    name="Web Agent",
    role="Search the web for information",
    model=Groq(id="llama-3.3-70b-versatile"),
    tools=[DuckDuckGoTools()],
    instructions="Always include sources",
    markdown=True,
)

finance_agent = Agent(
    name="Finance Agent",
    role="Get financial data",
    model=Groq(id="llama-3.3-70b-versatile"),
    tools=[YFinanceTools(stock_price=True, analyst_recommendations=True, company_info=True)],
    instructions="Use tables to display data",
    markdown=True,
)

agent_team = Agent(
    team=[web_agent, finance_agent],
    model=Groq(id="llama-3.3-70b-versatile"),  # You can use a different model for the team leader agent
    instructions=["Always include sources", "Use tables to display data"],
    # show_tool_calls=True,  # Uncomment to see tool calls in the response
    markdown=True,
)

# Give the team a task
agent_team.print_response("What's the market outlook and financial performance of AI semiconductor companies?", stream=True)
