phidata

Python framework for building multi-modal AI agents with memory and tools

Visit github.com ↗

Phidata (now rebranded as Agno) is an open-source Python framework designed to build, run, and monitor autonomous AI agents. It provides built-in support for tool use, agentic RAG, multi-agent orchestration, structured Pydantic outputs, and an interactive local UI playground.

What it's for

  • Build multi-agent teams that coordinate across web search and data analysis
  • Query custom documents using Agentic RAG without stuffing context into prompts
  • Interact with and debug running agents using a local Agent UI playground
  • Extract structured data from models using Pydantic schemas

Features

  • Multi-agent team orchestration
  • Multi-modal input support including text, images, audio, and video
  • Agentic RAG with integrated vector database connectors like LanceDB
  • Web-based Agent UI playground for local chat and testing
  • Pydantic-based structured output generation
  • Built-in session monitoring and CLI debugging mode
  • Experimental reasoning mode for step-by-step problem solving
