Async Agents with Delayed Execution

This example demonstrates how to run multiple async agents with delayed execution, gathering results from different AI providers to write comprehensive reports.

Code

delay.py

import asyncio

from agno.agent import Agent, RunOutput
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIChat
from agno.tools.duckduckgo import DuckDuckGoTools
from rich.pretty import pprint

providers = ["openai", "anthropic", "ollama", "cohere", "google"]
instructions = [
    "Your task is to write a well researched report on AI providers.",
    "The report should be unbiased and factual.",
]


async def get_agent(delay, provider):
    agent = Agent(
        model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-4"),
        instructions=instructions,
        tools=[DuckDuckGoTools()],
    )
    await asyncio.sleep(delay)
    response: RunOutput = await agent.arun(
        f"Write a report on the following AI provider: {provider}"
    )
    return response


async def get_reports():
    tasks = []
    for delay, provider in enumerate(providers):
        delay = delay * 2
        tasks.append(get_agent(delay, provider))

    results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
    return results


async def main():
    results = await get_reports()
    for result in results:
        print("************")
        pprint(result.content)
        print("************")
        print("\n")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Usage

1. Create a virtual environment

   Open the Terminal and create a python virtual environment.

   Mac

   python3 -m venv .venv
   source .venv/bin/activate
   
2. Install libraries

   pip install -U agno openai ddgs rich
   
3. Export your OpenAI API key

   Mac/Linux

       export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_api_key_here"
   
4. Create a Python file

   Create a Python file and add the above code.

   touch delay.py
   
5. Run Agent

   Mac

   python delay.py
