What problem does it solve?
Build production-ready AI agents using the OpenAI Agents SDK with async/await patterns and multi-agent orchestration, reducing boilerplate and enabling robust agent workflows.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Agent class, Runner patterns, function tools, guardrails, and streaming responses.
- Multi-agent handoffs and tool-calling integrations to orchestrate specialists.
- Use cases include tutoring agents, complex task automation, and scalable AI-assisted workflows.
Quick Start
Project setup: create a new Python project, set up a virtual environment, and install the OpenAI Agents package. Then configure your API key and run a simple agent example.
- Create project workspace: mkdir my-agent && cd my-agent
- Create and activate a virtual environment: python -m venv .venv; source .venv/bin/activate
- Install the SDK: pip install openai-agents
- Set API key: export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key
- Run a quick example:
from agents import Agent, Runner
tutor = Agent(name="Python Tutor", instructions="Teach Python concepts clearly.")
result = Runner.run(tutor, "Explain list comprehensions")
print(result.final_output)
