Manas

Manas is a powerful, flexible framework for building LLM-powered applications with intelligent agents, task decomposition, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). The framework is designed to help developers create complex AI applications by orchestrating multiple AI agents working together to solve problems.

Why Manas?

In the rapidly evolving landscape of LLM applications, developers face several challenges:

• Complexity Management: Coordinating multiple AI components and tasks
• Model Flexibility: Supporting various LLM providers and models
• RAG Integration: Integrating knowledge bases effectively
• Scalability: Building systems that can grow with your needs
• Tooling: Connecting AI with external tools and APIs

Manas addresses these challenges with a unified framework that lets you define multi-agent systems, manage workflows, integrate knowledge bases, and connect to external tools—all with a clean, consistent API.

Key Features

• Multi-Agent Orchestration: Define and coordinate multiple agents with different roles and capabilities
• Flexible LLM Integration: Support for OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace, and more
• Built-in RAG: First-class support for Retrieval-Augmented Generation with various vector stores
• Flow-Based Architecture: Create complex workflows with directed graphs
• Tool Integration: Connect agents to external tools and APIs
• Extensible Design: Easily add new capabilities and integrations

from core import LLM, Agent

# Initialize a model
model = LLM.from_provider(
    "openai",
    model_name="gpt-4",
    api_key="your-api-key"  # Or use environment variable
)

# Create an agent
agent = Agent(llm=model)

# Generate a response
response = agent.generate("Explain what the Manas framework does")
print(response)
