Agents Planning

When faced with a complex task, humans tend to deconstruct it into simpler subtasks and solve them individually. The planning module aims to empower the agents with such human capability, which is expected to make the agent behave more reasonably, powerfully, and reliably

Introduction

Here is a simple architecture diagram of the planning module:

In the above diagram, the planning module will receive the task from the user, then it will decompose the task into subtasks and assign them to the corresponding agents(Agent1, Agent2,...).

Analysis Your Database With Agents

In the following example, we will show you how to use the planning module to analyze your database.

To run this example, please install the dependencies according to previous instructions.

Prepare The Database

For simplicity, we will use a temporary SQLite database to store the data. The database will be created in the temporary directory and will be deleted after the program exits.

Fist, create a temporary SQLite database and create some tables and insert some data:

from dbgpt.datasource.rdbms.conn_sqlite import SQLiteTempConnector

connector = SQLiteTempConnector.create_temporary_db()
connector.create_temp_tables(
{
"students": {
"columns": {
"student_id": "INTEGER PRIMARY KEY",
"student_name": "TEXT",
"major": "TEXT",
"year_of_enrollment": "INTEGER",
"student_age": "INTEGER",
},
"data": [
(1, "Zhang San", "Computer Science", 2020, 20),
(2, "Li Si", "Computer Science", 2021, 19),
(3, "Wang Wu", "Physics", 2020, 21),
(4, "Zhao Liu", "Mathematics", 2021, 19),
(5, "Zhou Qi", "Computer Science", 2022, 18),
(6, "Wu Ba", "Physics", 2020, 21),
(7, "Zheng Jiu", "Mathematics", 2021, 19),
(8, "Sun Shi", "Computer Science", 2022, 18),
(9, "Liu Shiyi", "Physics", 2020, 21),
(10, "Chen Shier", "Mathematics", 2021, 19),
],
},
"courses": {
"columns": {
"course_id": "INTEGER PRIMARY KEY",
"course_name": "TEXT",
"credit": "REAL",
},
"data": [
(1, "Introduction to Computer Science", 3),
(2, "Data Structures", 4),
(3, "Advanced Physics", 3),
(4, "Linear Algebra", 4),
(5, "Calculus", 5),
(6, "Programming Languages", 4),
(7, "Quantum Mechanics", 3),
(8, "Probability Theory", 4),
(9, "Database Systems", 4),
(10, "Computer Networks", 4),
],
},
"scores": {
"columns": {
"student_id": "INTEGER",
"course_id": "INTEGER",
"score": "INTEGER",
"semester": "TEXT",
},
"data": [
(1, 1, 90, "Fall 2020"),
(1, 2, 85, "Spring 2021"),
(2, 1, 88, "Fall 2021"),
(2, 2, 90, "Spring 2022"),
(3, 3, 92, "Fall 2020"),
(3, 4, 85, "Spring 2021"),
(4, 3, 88, "Fall 2021"),
(4, 4, 86, "Spring 2022"),
(5, 1, 90, "Fall 2022"),
(5, 2, 87, "Spring 2023"),
],
},
}
)

Create A Database Resource

from dbgpt.agent.resource import RDBMSConnectorResource

db_resource = RDBMSConnectorResource("student_manager", connector=connector)

Analyze The Database Automatically Plan

To create a plan to analyze the database, here we introduce a new agent AutoPlanChatManager, which can automatically plan the task and assign the subtasks to the corresponding agents.

AutoPlanChatManager is a special agent, the creation of the agent is similar to other agents, but it has a special method hire to hire other agents.


import asyncio
import os

from dbgpt.agent import (
AgentContext,
AgentMemory,
AutoPlanChatManager,
LLMConfig,
UserProxyAgent,
)
from dbgpt.agent.expand.data_scientist_agent import DataScientistAgent
from dbgpt.model.proxy import OpenAILLMClient

async def main():
llm_client = OpenAILLMClient(
model_alias="gpt-3.5-turbo", # or other models, eg. "gpt-4o"
api_base=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_BASE"),
api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
)
context: AgentContext = AgentContext(
conv_id="test123", language="en", temperature=0.5, max_new_tokens=2048
)
agent_memory = AgentMemory()

user_proxy = await UserProxyAgent().bind(agent_memory).bind(context).build()

sql_boy = (
await DataScientistAgent()
.bind(context)
.bind(LLMConfig(llm_client=llm_client))
.bind(db_resource)
.bind(agent_memory)
.build()
)
manager = (
await AutoPlanChatManager()
.bind(context)
.bind(agent_memory)
.bind(LLMConfig(llm_client=llm_client))
.build()
)
manager.hire([sql_boy])

await user_proxy.initiate_chat(
recipient=manager,
reviewer=user_proxy,
message="Analyze student scores from at least three dimensions",
)

# dbgpt-vis message infos
print(await agent_memory.gpts_memory.one_chat_completions("test123"))


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

The output will be like this:

Of course, it will include the data after the execution of the SQL query if you run above code, here we not show the data because it is too long.
