Conversation Agent
Conversation Agent#
This notebook walks through using an agent optimized for conversation. Other agents are often optimized for using tools to figure out the best response, which is not ideal in a conversational setting where you may want the agent to be able to chat with the user as well.
This is accomplished with a specific type of agent (conversational-react-description) which expects to be used with a memory component.

    Tool(
        name = "Current Search",
        func=search.run,
        description="useful for when you need to answer questions about current events or the current state of the world"
    ),
]
memory = ConversationBufferMemory(memory_key="chat_history")
llm=OpenAI(temperature=0)
agent_chain = initialize_agent(tools, llm, agent=AgentType.CONVERSATIONAL_REACT_DESCRIPTION, verbose=True, memory=memory)
agent_chain.run(input="hi, i am bob")
> Entering new AgentExecutor chain...
Thought: Do I need to use a tool? No
AI: Hi Bob, nice to meet you! How can I help you today?
> Finished chain.
'Hi Bob, nice to meet you! How can I help you today?'
agent_chain.run(input="what's my name?")
> Entering new AgentExecutor chain...
Thought: Do I need to use a tool? No
AI: Your name is Bob!
> Finished chain.
'Your name is Bob!'
