JSON Chat Agent

Some language models are particularly good at writing JSON. This agent uses JSON to format its outputs, and is aimed at supporting Chat Models.

from langchain import hub
from langchain.agents import AgentExecutor, create_json_chat_agent
from langchain_community.tools.tavily_search import TavilySearchResults
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

API Reference:

• AgentExecutor
• create_json_chat_agent
• TavilySearchResults
• ChatOpenAI

Initialize Tools

We will initialize the tools we want to use

tools = [TavilySearchResults(max_results=1)]

Create Agent

# Get the prompt to use - you can modify this!
prompt = hub.pull("hwchase17/react-chat-json")

# Choose the LLM that will drive the agent
llm = ChatOpenAI()

# Construct the JSON agent
agent = create_json_chat_agent(llm, tools, prompt)

Run Agent

# Create an agent executor by passing in the agent and tools
agent_executor = AgentExecutor(
    agent=agent, tools=tools, verbose=True, handle_parsing_errors=True
)

agent_executor.invoke({"input": "what is LangChain?"})

Using with chat history

from langchain_core.messages import AIMessage, HumanMessage

agent_executor.invoke(
    {
        "input": "what's my name?",
        "chat_history": [
            HumanMessage(content="hi! my name is bob"),
            AIMessage(content="Hello Bob! How can I assist you today?"),
        ],
    }
)
