ConversationalAgent#

class langchain.agents.conversational.base.ConversationalAgent[source]#

Bases: Agent

Deprecated since version 0.1.0: Use create_react_agent() instead.

An agent that holds a conversation in addition to using tools.

Create a new model by parsing and validating input data from keyword arguments.

Raises [ValidationError][pydantic_core.ValidationError] if the input data cannot be validated to form a valid model.

self is explicitly positional-only to allow self as a field name.

param ai_prefix: str = 'AI'#: Prefix to use before AI output.

param allowed_tools: List[str] | None = None#: Allowed tools for the agent. If None, all tools are allowed.

param llm_chain: LLMChain [Required]#: LLMChain to use for agent.

param output_parser: AgentOutputParser [Optional]#: Output parser for the agent.

async aplan(intermediate_steps: List[Tuple[AgentAction, str]], callbacks: list[BaseCallbackHandler] | BaseCallbackManager | None = None, **kwargs: Any) → AgentAction | AgentFinish#

Parameters:

intermediate_steps (List[Tuple[AgentAction, str]]) – Steps the LLM has taken to date, along with observations.
callbacks (list[BaseCallbackHandler] | BaseCallbackManager | None) – Callbacks to run.
**kwargs (Any) – User inputs.

Returns:

Action specifying what tool to use.

Create prompt in the style of the zero-shot agent.

Parameters:

tools (Sequence[BaseTool]) – List of tools the agent will have access to, used to format the prompt.
prefix (str) – String to put before the list of tools. Defaults to PREFIX.
suffix (str) – String to put after the list of tools. Defaults to SUFFIX.
format_instructions (str) – Instructions on how to use the tools. Defaults to FORMAT_INSTRUCTIONS
ai_prefix (str) – String to use before AI output. Defaults to “AI”.
human_prefix (str) – String to use before human output. Defaults to “Human”.
input_variables (List[str] | None) – List of input variables the final prompt will expect. Defaults to [“input”, “chat_history”, “agent_scratchpad”].

Returns:

A PromptTemplate with the template assembled from the pieces here.

Return type:
