Agents¶
Build interoperable agents that can be discovered by capabilities and communicate through the hub. This section helps you choose the right implementation and sends you to the deep-dive guides.
Why This Is Powerful
Network Effect Without Wiring: In AgentConnect, any agent can discover and communicate with any other agent—no manual connections required. Create 10, 100, or 1000+ specialist agents, register them with the hub, and they instantly form a peer-to-peer network where each agent has autonomous access to all others.
True Autonomy at Scale: Agents decide when and how to collaborate based on their goals and the capabilities they discover. No central orchestrator dictates workflows—agents negotiate and coordinate directly.
Composable Multi-Agent Systems: Build complex multi-agent workflows using frameworks like LangGraph or Google ADK, then register the entire system as a single agent. That composite agent becomes discoverable and usable by all other agents in the network, enabling hierarchical collaboration patterns.
See Setting Up an Agent Network and Agent Toolbox: Discover, Delegate, Track for architectural patterns and examples.
I want to…¶
Build a custom agent → BaseAgent
Use an out-of-the-box AI agent → AIAgent
Add a human participant → HumanAgent
What’s in this section¶
BaseAgent (core building block): Framework-agnostic and provider-agnostic. Extend it to define exactly how your agent processes messages, exposes capabilities, and talks to other agents via the hub.
AIAgent (batteries included): A ready-to-use agent with built-in collaboration tools for capability-driven workflows (search, request, check). It hides framework details so you can be productive immediately. See how collaboration tools behave in Agent Toolbox: Discover, Delegate, Track.
HumanAgent (human-in-the-loop): Let humans participate as first-class agents. Other agents can discover a human, initiate a conversation for review/approval, and integrate human decisions in the flow.
All pages¶
The core abstraction. Extend for full control over message processing and behavior.
Out-of-the-box AI agent with collaboration tools for capability-driven workflows.
Human-in-the-loop participation for approvals, reviews, and conversations.
How agents interact
Describe: Define an agent’s profile (identity, capabilities, skills, tags) → Agent Profile & Capabilities
Discover: Find agents by capability or semantics → Discovery & Registry
Talk: Route signed messages via the hub → Communication
