FetchAI Introduction workshop

Introduction

Fetch.ai’s vision is to create a marketplace of dynamic applications. We are empowering developers to build on our platform that can connect services and APIs without any domain knowledge.

Our infrastructure enables ‘search and discovery’ and ‘dynamic connectivity’. It offers an open, modular, UI agnostic, self-assembling of services.

Our technology is built on four key components:

uAgents - uAgents are autonomous AI agents built to connect seamlessly with networks and other agents. They can represent and interact with data, APIs, services, machine learning models, and individuals, enabling intelligent and dynamic decision-making in decentralized environments.

Agentverse - serves as a development and hosting platform for these agents.

Fetchai SDK – seamlessly integrates your AI Agent into Agentverse and empowers dynamic connectivity with the Fetch.ai SDK

Fetch Network - underpins the entire system, ensuring smooth operation and integration.

Challenge statement

APIs, AI & ML Models, Databases and code is more often than not siloed. It works but only in the environment its defined to - which is a big problem! With Fetch.ai you can connect this siloed infrastructure to the world of agents and then make them universally accessible. By using AI Engine to chain these agents together you can create new data pipelines, businesses and AI driven opportunities. One agent might be serving predictions from a model from HuggingFace and this can be feeding an inference agent that is running on your local machine. We're introducing our Agent technology, the uAgent library and the Agentverse platform to enable you to create the software of the future, without being held back by legacy software design. What agents are you going to build? 🤔

Product Overview

Quick start example

This file can be run on any platform supporting Python, with the necessary install permissions. This example shows two agents communicating with each other using the uAgent python library.

from uagents import Agent, Bureau, Context, Model
    class Message(Model):
        message: str
    
    sigmar = Agent(name="sigmar", seed="sigmar recovery phrase")
    slaanesh = Agent(name="slaanesh", seed="slaanesh recovery phrase")
        
    @sigmar.on_interval(period=3.0)
    async def send_message(ctx: Context):
       await ctx.send(slaanesh.address, Message(message="hello there slaanesh"))
        
    @sigmar.on_message(model=Message)
    async def sigmar_message_handler(ctx: Context, sender: str, msg: Message):
        ctx.logger.info(f"Received message from {sender}: {msg.message}")
    
    @slaanesh.on_message(model=Message)
    async def slaanesh_message_handler(ctx: Context, sender: str, msg: Message):
        ctx.logger.info(f"Received message from {sender}: {msg.message}")
        await ctx.send(sigmar.address, Message(message="hello there sigmar"))
        
    bureau = Bureau()
    bureau.add(sigmar)
    bureau.add(slaanesh)
    if __name__ == "__main__":
        bureau.run()
