Internet of Agents

Internet of Agents (IoA) is an open-source framework designed to enable seamless collaboration among heterogeneous AI agents distributed across multiple devices and locations, inspired by how the Internet connects people. It provides a flexible, scalable platform where autonomous agents, including various large language models and third-party agents, can communicate, self-organize into teams, and coordinate on complex tasks. The system uses an instant-messaging-like architecture with dynamic conversation flow control to efficiently manage interactions and task execution. IoA excels in facilitating multi-agent cooperation across diverse environments and problem domains, outperforming many existing autonomous agent frameworks.

Key Features:

• Distributed multi-agent collaboration across devices with centralized server-client architecture for agent discovery and messaging.
• Autonomous team formation and nested group chats enabling flexible, hierarchical cooperation among specialized agents.
• Dynamic conversation flow control implemented as finite state machines to guide task discussion, assignment, and execution.
• Flexible integration protocol supporting diverse third-party agents and heterogeneous AI architectures.

Use Cases:

• Coordinating multiple AI agents for complex research or content generation projects, such as academic paper writing.
• Enabling multi-agent collaboration in embodied tasks, retrieval-augmented generation, and open-domain assistance.
• Orchestrating AI teams for problem-solving requiring dynamic task delegation, communication, and parallel execution.

Technical Specifications:

• Server and client layered architecture with interaction, data, and foundation layers managing communication and data.
• Instant-messaging-like protocol for agent registration, discovery, messaging, and team management.
• Supports integration with agents like AutoGPT and Open Interpreter, enabling heterogeneous tool collaboration.
• Written in Python, designed for distributed deployment allowing agents to operate across multiple devices.
