🎯 Example Usage
from fastadk.core import Agent, BaseAgent, tool
@Agent(
model="gemini-1.5-pro",
memory_backend="redis",
cache_enabled=True
)
class WeatherAgent(BaseAgent):
@tool
def get_weather(self, location: str) -> str:
"""Get weather for a location."""
# Implementation...
return f"Weather for {location}: Sunny, 75°F"
@tool
def get_forecast(self, location: str, days: int = 5) -> list:
"""Get forecast for a location."""
# Implementation...
return [{"day": i, "forecast": "Sunny"} for i in range(1, days+1)]
# Create and run the agent
agent = WeatherAgent()
result = await agent.run("What's the weather in New York?")❤️ Acknowledgements
